SOVEREIGN GT IN GOOD AND BADD GROUND

[GunnarMN]

I wanted to show the diffrence testing buried dimes in good and badd ground , the 1st part is a clay lome soil and is good ground i have dimes buried at 5" 6" 7" and 8" 10" and 12" then i go up to the badd ground called the anoka sand this is glacial outwach sand from granitic and basaltic rocks and is full of black sand . when the ground gets badd i somtimes hunt in the all metal modes , and get great depth as long as i dont turn up the sens to high as turning the sense to high in badd ground will magnify the ground signal and blurr out the target but disq in the badd ground is able to get 6.5 " deep with a diggable signal and jams shut at 7" now if you think this is a badd detector show me one in disq that can get thru this ground i welcome and one who wants to bring thear detector up as i would love to vidio it as well [video]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uz2kvfHitFE&feature=channel[/video]

Love the testing and videos. Keep it up!

Good video, but now I have a question.... in the bad soil you had to turn up the sensitivity to get deeper can you assume the shallow targets still hit good? I've just recently taken the GT out of Auto Sense and found I started getting more targets when I did that but generally didn't play with the sense, just left it in the 11 oclock position. Definately would make learning the machine easier IF I had a test garden...

Thanks for the video

the shallow targets usally hit ok with increased gaine but can go silent i plan on testing the S-12 , S-8 and WOT in this same two bedds all i know is to much gain in badd ground will make the signal blank out and more on suface targets make them bong to big and get dificult to pinpoint my cebola could not hear the dime at 6" or the M-6 I would feel very confident hunting in virginia in the all metal but the disq qould falter i think cant say for sure

Nice video
I admit I run my Excal in AUTO a lot but this makes me think I need to start setting sensitivity manually.

Yea, I only use Auto anymore when manual has to go lower than say about 4PM. When you get that low you might as well run auto because it probably will give the same depth and be much more stable. Also, I use Auto on old trails with lots of rocks that cause random falsing in manual. If the ground is real rough or there is EMI present Auto will not get as good of depth as it will in better situations. I hunted one place where I prefered Auto due to all the iron in the ground that was causing a lot of nulling. In situations like that I think Auto can "track" the ground in a way and I feel (no proof) might have a better chance to sound off to targets mixed in with it. I ended up digging a standing liberty quarter at about 7.5" deep. And this was at a spot that I had gridded with my Explorers and other machines. I think Auto might have adjusted to the changing ground, where as a static manual setting might be too high or too low as the ground goes from "hot" to "cold" or something.

Out of curiosity how long have those dimes been in the ground?

 

[GunnarMN]

less than one month,

Good quality video, Just goes to show you that you can learn alot from a good test garden. Thank You
