V3i's mineralization #'s

The mineralization of my ground is around -90 on my V3i. All three frequencies are coming in about +175. I've been searching to find a chart to compare if this is low or high. I'm going to guess it's moderate to low. Anyone have some #'s for ground mineralization.
 
Look at the strength percentages. If the numbers are below 25 you have fairly low to moderate mineral concentrations. If your concentrations are above 25 then you are flirting with hot ground. The higher the % #, your mineral concentration is worse and potentially more difficult to balance, but the V3i will handle it.

Good Luck

Joe is right, the numbers vary some from who you talk to. It is just another way to help you decide.

The VDI reading is converted from the ground phase normalized to standard VDI units. It's either going to be from the strongest signal if the detector is running best data, or the average of the two strongest signals if correlate is selected. If you have ground coming in at -94(VDI) with a signal strength of 2% and another ground coming in at -91 with a signal strength of 7%, it would seem to me that the ground coming in at -91 is more mineralized even though it is a less negative VDI. A signal strength of the ground as follows 0 to 10% weak, 10% to 20% Moderate and 20% and up to be strong. Try to keep it at 20% or less. The lower the mineralization, the slower one should sweep - which may mean a lower filter should be selected. The phase tells you composition (between purely ferrous and purely salt), while the signal strength tells you the concentration (more mineralized).
 
When talking on mineralization on the v3i, what is the quickest way to get into it and start checking for grond mineralization? thank you
 
I don't understand what you are asking. what is the quickest way to get into it?
 
By highlighting the Ground Tracking box on the Live Control Bar and then pressing the zoom key to bring up the ground probe screen is about as fast as you can get.
