2 Much Trash
Well-known member
Just got my new G2 last week. Have not taken it out in the real world yet, just been too hot and just had a new grand daughter, so there's not been alot of spare time. But I did have time to set up a little test garden just to get a feel of the machine. I dug a trench averaging 6 to about 9" deep I buried some some bullets. a brass button, a penny, nickel and a mercury dime. Covered those up with a couple of inches of dirt , sprinkled in a bunch of assorted nails I had in my shed, then covered them with dirt the rest of the way. Ground balanced, which was so easy, put it back in disc mode and set the disc at 40. This machine grunted on every nail and gave me the high tones on all the good stuff no matter how fast or slow my swing speed, Amazing. The nails read in the 20's, brass in the 60's, the dime in the 70's. I love this unit. My only question is how to pinpoint. I've never had to worry about pinpointing with my other units. I'd just look at the coil and dig the spot that gave me the loudest tone. But this machine is so sensitive it gives the same high tone and numbers on the outside edge of the coil as it does in the center, even when I use the pinpoint button. I know that experience in the field with this awesome machine is going to be the best teacher, just like with any detector, but i'd like to dig as few 7' x 11' holes as possible So since I've got you guys I'm thinking asking for a little advice wouldn't hurt.
