VDI 710-74 ?????

[crabby]

Went hunting yesterday for only really the first time with the MXT and a couple of things puzzle me.

VDI 70-74 .01 would dig this and find nothing.

ZINC .01 would dig this and find nothing.

Me or the machine?

I don't know what .01 is and you didn't say what depth you were reading. Many times a reading of 74 and at 1 to 2 " is really a can at 6-7-8". Lift the coil higher if the signal remains it is a large, deep target. You aren't digging deep enough. You need to give more information than just zinc. Rob

I think Zinc .01 is a zinc cent. It does sound like a deep, large target to me too. A can will usually read a quarter for me though.

I don't really understand your readings but most of the time when I get a totally false signal it reads much higher than the 71 - 74.... more like the highest silver readings.

.01 means one cent. Computer Key boards don't have a cent sign.

So zinc .01 means zinc one cent.

Next time it happens I'll get the depth.

The VDI numbers for above are between 70-74

A little more info......I was having a low battery reading and I wonder if this could have affected the readings.

if I am referring to a 1

It's not worth the trouble, but that's just my 2

For me if the m6 had an option for 3 or 4 tones it would make it better. Also if the display didn't clear itself until the next signal would be another plus. Is it just me?

If computer key boards don't have a cent mark where did you get the one you used???????
