Sounds Of The Deep Target

[poptab]

Can anybody school me on the sounds of the deep / deeper targets. I'm new to my MXT (and the hobby) and still learning as I go. Went out today and pulled around 60 coins (an earing and a cheap ring) at 1-4" from a local school ground. All clad except for 1 modern silver dime and a few foreign coins. I feel I'm missing (not recognizing the tones) the deeper targets though. Anybody have any advice on the sounds of the deeper targets?

Thanks

If you have your threshold set low but where you still can hear it and you get a low target sound it will be deep. Also some targets will be low enough to have a rise in the threshold signal but not strong enough to give a VDI reading. You are at about the deepest your particular coil will go.

When looking for deep targets I listen for the real faint but steady signals. But I hardly if ever look at the VDI reading, some of the deep targets wont read anyway. I have found that if I spend all that time looking at the meter and wandering what it might be I can have it dug up and see what it is. That way you get to know what your machine is telling you, after a while you will know if you want to dig just by the sound.......... When in doubt dig....

Here's a long explanation of the whisper. Rob

If a target signal is too weak for a VDI number to be determined, an All-Metal audio response (WHISPER) will occur (the threshold will increase and there will be no display indications. The most noticeable all-metal portion of the audio
