Alright--It does work like everyone says.
I had it out for an hour one day last week; 3hours another day; and then an hour today.
3rd hunt nabbed a '52 dime from a FOOT down.
It was the 7th target I dug out of 7 plugs. So one out of 7 was silver. Nice ratio.
Firstly, I will say the stock coin program needs modifcation. Which I did.
Secondly, my settings needed modification--which I did.
After reading the entire Minelab book by Sabisch last night. I actually fell asleep twice while reading it-I finally got it all in my head and now understand how to use this machine.
I reprogrammed it shortly after and charged the battery pack.
The Experiment:
Took it to an old pool complex that dates to the 20's today. So I knew there would be deep silver there. And, as well an area I myself gridded hard with my detector late last Summer.
I was over the same area as I was last year and I heard it sound off. A solid 12/13-44/45 and it showed some depth, yet was actually much deeper than the icon.
After cuting the plug with my Lesche to max depth. I circled the hole with my pinpointer. Nothing.
I thought it was a false.
I then cut down into it again and pried back another 3 inches or better of soil and there it was.
Definitely a foot down. No doubt. It sounded loud and clear as well.
Wasn't too sure about the machine when I got it and took it out the first time. I promised myself I would give it to the end of August and if it didn't meet the expectation I would trade it in.
But, it didn't fail the experiment. It definitely passed.
Definitely a keeper.
Even the display is better now that I turned the Contrast down some more. I can see the screen.
Not much to show for, but I did not have alot of time.
The round object with the chain appears to be an old drain plug. I was at an old pool complex. Might have been from an old-time drain system or something related.
