cody i saw your post in the reg forum, that said deep sliver on the edge of detection zone might sound with a deep tone. will the cross hairs try to lock on high right, and when centered will it give some high tone??? is this off center to the coil or a real deep sliver? thank you

A deep silver coin at the very edge of detection will sometimes give a low tone and the crosshairs will indicate iron. When hunting in the fields I use my boots or digging tool to scrape soil from over the hit and go back over it. I have brought in a lot of ultra deep coins this way. There is a limit to how large of a coil we can use and still detect a small coin. Removing some soil over those faint low iron tones and indications is how I deal with the problem. This is another reason why I run the FE coins area open to hear the iron sounds even if I miss some from having part of that area closed down. I don't do this all the time as it depends on the soil and how deep I think the coins are going to be. I see no reason to be concerned in a park that I know has only been in use since about the fifties that has pretty stable soil. However, in some of the fields I search were we have found reals and other serious good deep finds I really check those hits.

This looks like a really good pattern for salt water beaches also. What do you think?

It may be a good one but Glenn and others are the salt water beach hunters so I have been looking for them to jump in on these patterns. It has been a long time since I hunted a salt water beach so am not as confident as I am about dry land hunting.

Fred,
The biggest trash items at the salt water beaches I hunt are rusty nails/iron. I hunt in Ferrous mode with the screen wide open. The iron gives a low "growly" tone making it easy to separate them from the other targets. I dig everything else because a good scoop will allow you to recover almost any target in less than 10 seconds. You will spend more time than that trying to decide whether or not to dig. I consistently dig dimes at 10" or better and quarters down to about 14".
The most valuable targets are probably gold jewelry. You do not want to miss any of those because you are trying to avoid pull tabs.
Other people may have different techniques that work for them.
HH,
Glenn
