Wheat to silver ratio?

[TURNMASTER]

I skipped right over Randy's post this morning. I appreciate the theory and am currently trying different methods and tools to find out what I am capable of accomplishing.

I have been to the same 20's farm house 5 or 6 times so far and I am continuing to find coins in spots I have been over. Wish I would have kept everything from that house separate from to rest. I can see the value of keeping some kind of log so I could see what is working based on data. I just may be to lazy for that though.

I have used 3 different coils there and have definitely determined the 6" HF DD is working great in the trash. Now I will try it in pattern1 and go over some of what I have hunted previously. Won't hit it all as there were a few spots with less junk (maybe).

Place is way far from hunted out and I am not capable yet.

As budget allows next two tools will be a 10.5 MF DD and a Garrett pinpointer and another shovel.

compared to watching traffic out of a window. If the curtains are opened up, (as in all metal mode) you can clearly see all the cars going by. And, you will be able to recognize the color and shape of each one. However, as you start close the curtains, (increase the discrimination) the view becomes less and less. As such, the shape of the cars becomes more difficult to identify. Eventually, as the gap between the curtains become more narrow, even the color of the cars seems to run together. If I can find that article, I'll post it up. HH Randy

that using discrimination does not make your detector ignore certain targets. Your detector will still detect all metal targets, regardless of where you have set the discrimination level or the number of notches you have set to "reject". And the metal detector processor still has to analyze the changes made to the electromagnetic field created by all targets, "accepted" & "rejected". The primary difference between a target that is "accepted" and one that is "rejected" is simply the audio response provided by the detector. When a detector coil passes over an "accepted" target, it replaces the threshold tone with a different audio tone. When that same detector passes over a target that has been "discriminated out", it blanks out the threshold and provides no other tone. The question becomes how much information you want to "hear" at any one time. JMHO HH Randy
