One little indian, but its a good one

[laplander]

Got out for a short hunt this evening, using the 6 inch on a old trading post. I rehunted the actual building site which is a bed of iron, last Sunday I pulled the brass key from there with the stock coil. My settings were field 1 recovery 8 iron bias 2 sensitivity 24. Total was 14 non ferrous targets from a 25 foot radius with the 6 inch and just 6 targets with the stock coil.
Still looking for the key date Indian

That IS a nice Indian, Jeff! WTG! Sounds like the 6" coil was the ticket, in that irony portion of your trading post site...

Laplander,

That is a nice looking IHC.

I'll make a note of your settings. Last week I spent a few days at a couple of Monte's favorite old places. Bed of nails with rusty pieces of tin everywhere. 1860's era. I had some success with park 1, recovery 7 iron bias 2. sensitivity btwn 19-21. I ran 5 tones with All metal. Had iron volume turned way down. 0-11, 12-13, 14-17, 18- up. Picked up some keepers in a very difficult place. 1600's Chinese Cash Coin, 1866 Shield Nickel w/rays, early wheatie, a few other coin sized objects. Nails were the easy part, deep little pieces of rusting tin the hard part.

Appreciate the settings. Gives me things to try.

Just don't be afraid to try some different setting, as I can't tell how your soil conditions are. Sounds like our setting are very similar other than the modes. The 6 almost doubled my finds on this site after covering it with the stock coil and the same settings, just one coin though.

Good job.

Nice one Jeff! I hope to go out in a day or two if it dries a bit. The grass is getting tall so I will wait for my top secret fields to dry out!

Oh, and I was using the 6". Shoulda mentioned that.

Over the last year plus, I've been trying the different modes when I find what I think is a good target, changing up recovery, iron bias and sensitivity and running up through the frequencies seeing if something improves the clarity of signal or better separation or depth. In the case of the ghost towns, looking for something to help make the small rusty tin sound more like iron and less like a keeper.
