You Know I'm Kinda Peed

[Mick in Dubbo]

I'm looking forward to your videos Randy. Given your knowledge and the way you approach things, I know that they will be one of the better videos around. Not because of experience or lack of it with a video camera, just the experience of an effective x-terra operator.
I haven't read all the posts in this thread yet, but on your comments about bouncing numbers and mixed tones. I had a freak hunt a few months back while swinging my 70 at my sons' former school. I found $97 and 6 or 8 pre-decimal coins in about 7 hours of hunting. I noticed that the TID was jumping around on a number of targets ( using pattern 1) more than 2 notches at times, the audio did bounce around somewhat, but they seemed to still say dig me, and most of them were coins. The ground was pretty clean of junk. I think that I had the sensitivity around 25 (which is where I often set it). It's possible that the sensitivity could have been a little high, which could cause this to happen.

I have yet to make digging an iffy signal pay off. For me, if it has been an iffy signal, it has been junk. Maybe just poor odds in old farm sites? or just my bad luck?

Sorry Mick, I should have been more specific in my remarks about numbers bouncing in that I was referring to US coins. I do know that some Euro coins are similar to Canadian Loonies and Toonies, in that the center portion is of different material than the outer rim. And I believe some of the smaller denominations have steel cores. We have clad coins here in the US. But they have copper cores. I'd be interested to learn what your coins read when scanned flat? If you'd be kind enough to post their denomination and corresponding TID, I could incorporate that information into our FAQFAQ section. HH Randy
