What Freq do you use most?

[Low-Boy/LCPM]

What freq do you use when relic hunting...I was thinking of trying 12 for buttons and bullets and relics like that...Any advantage to the 18 freq, I know it hits on small thin coins like it Europe and small copper....

I use use 18k and 12k pretty evenly split. Heavy slaw and I go 4k but its not that often.

4 and 8 for me about 90% of the time unless EMI becomes too frustrating. Seems like everywehere I like to hunt there is a lot of can slaw, but I don't get too discouraged when I find deeper pieces of slaw since a coin would also register at the same depth should it be there. 8 kHz will hit copper and silver coins at ALMOST the same max depth as 4 kHz, but will hit nickels and smaller targets harder.

While in 4 kHz the other day I was able to hit a 10-cent "play money" aluminum token at 7" with GB settings running a couple points below the indicated GB value. It was a faint tone with no VDI, but a 90 degree sweep indicated the same tone, so I dug it.

Going hunting today using the "hotter" GB settings at another 100-year old vacant lot - will be posting results later this afternoon!
