'soils an't soils'

[earthsea]

I have come to the conclusion that 'soils ain't soils', That soils can be classified as noisy or quiet. Recently I went to some very quiet soil in a gold field and the difference from salty beach sand was amazing. I was able to get a very pure, quiet threshold at the gold field. At the beach, luckily I have a TDI which 'speaks to me' and with some tweaking I manage the noisy beach sand. Wow! Was the gold field a dream ( except for the lead bullets and casings everywhere ) My TDI can pick up a single metal buck shot 30 cm ( 1 Ft ) down, unbelievable. Those Chinese miners really new how to extract gold, clean as a whistle.

In my neck of the woods ought to cover it...Yep from State to State or area to area ought to cover it..Heck have seen mineralization change from one end of a football field to the other. Imagine thats why we have forum disagreements as we are not playing on a level field so to speak and ardent detectorists who are able to compensate for conditions excell..And yes some detectors just work better in certain states or areas..

Unfortunately not, plenty of digging though with only .22 bullets and shells recovered. 'Thems the breaks'.
