Ok, I think I'm learning my lesson on my so-called "depth problem"

The lesson is that I've been passing up LOTS and LOTS of deeper coins!!!!
Today I went to a hammered park and ran in IM -10 and manual sensitivity that I kept adjusted on the fly. I went sloooow, listened closely, and watched the display carefully.
The 1903 Barber was found at 7+ inches and did NOT act like what I thought a coin's supposed to act the crosshairs were going from right to left but favoring the upper right. What made me dig it was that the crosshairs never did overlap the mased out area to the left.
The 1911 Wheatie was at 9+ inches. I knew it was at least a Wheatie by the sound. It was bright minty green when I dug it so I think I had a big halo to help me out.
Now I have to go hit all my spots AGAIN <IMG SRC="/forums/images/smile.gif" BORDER=0 ALT=":)">
HH all and thanks for all the help. I think it was "just me" after all
 
You get to hit again, that is now you have gotten the surface signals out of the way.
Glad you see now or should I say hear.

I think you just learned the secret of the Explorer, going slow and listening close as this is where you will see your deeper targets.
Good luck and hope to see you post some great finds.

What was the tone like? I mean, did it sound like a dime...was a full robust tone or was it breaking up? I use tone identification more than I use screen ID. Just curious...I am still learning like you are.
 
I have my sounds set to conductive. Stuff along the top of the screen sounds the same. If I had it set to Ferrous, I would have passed on it since the crosshairs spent a lot of time over to the right. I like conductive also because then my nickels have a lower more distinctive sound.
 
Don't give up on ferrous quite so quickly, even stuff that hits toward the left side(low tone) will have a distinct warble. And nickels will have a higher tone more like silver and copper targets. If you ever go to IM-16 and hunt in iron infested areas ferrous is the only way to go.
