Some things i have notice with beach 1 with big gold rings.....

[Bud-sc]

Me and my buddy have been hunting a lot different areas. My buddy had a few great finds but the issue was most of the rings as he put it in his words "sounded like CRAP". I ask him what he meant ??? He said it sounded bad. Now he hunts in 50 tones and I hunt in 5 tones. He hunts only in discrimination only and I hunt in all metal. I tested one of the rings he found and put the ring back into the ground but not flat but up and down. In beach 1 the numbers were all over the place 2,13,-5,18,-2,20....ect. NOW this is 9 gram 14k wedding band. So then I changed over to beach 2. WOW!!! sounded a lot better and "cleaner"numbers were better too. Iron bias was the same on both modes. Move forward to this month I found my heaviest wedding band 14k 12 grams in beach 2 and it sounded great even at how deep it was. Then 2 days later hit a 10k wedding band.All this in beach 2. Any ideas why the big gold bands coming in like crap in beach 1?? Now this is only with the big heavy wedding bands in beach 1 also have heard that some people are saying the same with large classrings.

You did not say salt or fresh? Dry, damp, wash or in water?

Thanks

Recovery speed you are running Beach 1 vs Beach 2?

Beach hunting wet sand and recovery speed same on both modes.

Beach 2 is reduced power..... about 1/2 of that of beach 1. Its like turning your sensitivity down....... which most needs to do a bit. The more sensitivity the more sand its having to process and minerals/trash at depth. IF you GB..... those are different as well. Recovery speed and shorten how long you hear the target the faster it is...... less depth. Disc with affect near targets.... add that to recovery and you might get a lot more bounce compared to AM.

So CA beach brief wet sand test on same weight gold ring didn't notice a difference in depth between each modes. Just a lot more mineral related noise in beach1. Didn't try putting the ring on edge (it could have been). Has anyone proven beach1 deeper than beach2?

I have been sampling various targets with the EQ800, thin gold band on edge great signal. Its invisible to my Se Pro. BUT last night I sampled a couple of silver rings, one was wide the other was really wide. They are not thick, just overly wide. Flat they were fine, on edge boy the EQ800 did not like them at all. Pretty bad signal which was just the opposite of what I expected with such a wide silver surface on edge. I'll have to mess around with it some more.
