What do your deep signals sound like?

I'm having a hard time digging a coin or bullet size target over 8-9 inches. What do these deep signals sound like. How fast are you sweeping? It is possible that there just aren't any signals that deep.
 
Andrew, 1st I always use the relic mode. Zero disc.
Listen for a mixed-audio response. The signals within
the range of the detector's ability will lock on and
read properly on the display. BUT when you hear the
mixed audio and the ID jumps between + and - numbers,
dig it. You have gone to the limit of the machines ability to correctly id. I get .58 drop at 8-9 inches
in bad ground. The TID on the MXT will work correctly when the audio won't, at 9-11". Your going to dig some junk, but you are also going to dig some good targets. HH Richard
 
The display of VDI numbers is able to more correctly
translate signal coming from the coil than the audio
response. In other words, the audio response on a deep target may sound like iron but the vdi numbers may
bounce between + and -. Audio says it's iron, VDI says could be either. Dig it! With the sensitivity at
max.,the audio response with be only fair but noticable. The deep ones, the VDI will not lock on either. Hope this helps. Richard
 
Andrew what are your typical settings when after the deep stuff?

Andrew, since so many variables come into play, I would suggest that you build a test garden, consisting of specific targets, both "good" and "bad", at known depths, and then train yourself as to those targets audio AND visual ID's. It has to be remembered that very deep targets are difficult for any discriminating detector to "clearly" identify via audio or visual ID. This is especially true in "bad" ground, although I don't think your ground in SE Kansas is particularly mineralized. By training yourself as to your detector's responses under "controlled" conditions, you will be better able to discern the desirability of such targets in the field. Remember, though, there is one bit of advice that will guarantee knowing what a target is: "When in doubt, dig it out." Hope this helps; HH jim
