So it's CZ20 time

this time of year when the ground is frozen and the only place to hunt is the beach, I break out the CZ20, I found a spot on a beach that I dug up 4 silvers and a few IH and Vnickles with my other 2 machines, so I thought the beach was cleaned out, took the CZ there a couple of time and started to hear whispers and dug them, 99% of the times they were deep coins, pulled out a couple more silver, more v's and IH, and many Wheaties, the snow has melted,so more beach is showing so I going to hunt it again listen for the whispers , I'll post what I find this weekend
 
I've been doing the same with my CZ21 lately. The 'wispers' for me are iron grunts mainly with some high tone just barely in range of the coil. I keep my volume right at or under 5 so I don't get volume boost. When I hear the faint 'iffy' signals, I know it can be a deep coin.

Is that what you've been doing? If not, I'd like to hear more.

I've been hunting in the water at about 3 feet in really deep sand. Some finds down past 10 inches. I've gotten 3 siver coins, a silver pendant and twi old bath house tokens from the '20's so far.
 
It always amazes me to see you guys dig old silver or old anything on the beach. I think of beach hunts as finding modern things. Great to see that there is more on the beach than you think. Thanks for sharing.

Ree, I have it in autotune, all metal, I have the volume at 8 and I hear almost like a click, but it a whisper, if you hear one you will know it all the time, with the volume up that high, it's like hearing a threshold, and when it is broken, I go back and if I hear a click, I dig, and it's deep, at lease a foot , I dig with a spade shovel you see the city workers leaning on, I can dig fast with it and I carry a hand scoop , after it's out of the hole I'll scan for the target and it's really loud, I scoop it up and shake it like a Polaroid picture :0
 
Very interesting. I'm using disc set to 0 (not in autotune). You're getting deeper than me (by running outside of disc mode) but don't have tone ID. I'll have to give that a try once I run out of targets. Have you tried switching to disc 0 to see if you still get a response? I guess it wouldn't matter because at that depth you'll want to dig either way. Tone ID ia worthless anyway at such depth.

We are doing the same thing in different ways. Looking for targets too deep for disc mode to operate correctly on. The difference is that you are picking up targets that I'll miss in disc mode (they are beyond its limits). i'm trying to weed out iron targets while you are digging anything that is really deep. I'll give it a try for sure once I've dig all I can with my method.

This machine sure can go deep. Many times my scoop is so deep in the sand that I have to use both hands to pull it out!

Be careful with your ears. Volume at 8 can get really loud!

Ree, I dig iron targets too but it's the small ones, I judge the target to dig by the size, and the hot rocks in my area give off a wazza sound in all metal, had to dig a dozen of then first to figure it out, this beach has a lot of big iron and when I go over it with the coil , it blows my ears off
 
I tried running in Autotune for a little while today. I went back to 0 disc after about a half hour. I'll try it again when I run out of target at the spot I'm currenly searching. Pulled up gold filled man's ring at around 12 inches today. It was coming in as iron but the signal was so faint that I dug it anyway. Probably would have come in stronger on Autotune. I also found this budget-friendly 14K diamond engagement ring today at the same spot. It was a pretty faint low tone. The ring was about 10 inches down.
 
That's too bad about the snow. Is that an English sovereign or half soveriegn there as your avatar? Gold? I found a 1909 half sovereign gold last year in the water.
