Good point about the ID segments. The last two days i've notched 0-15 discrimination on park 1 & 2. This helps a little bit. Most of the time i forget to rotate 90 degrees. I get so pumped when i hear something good. Amateur mistakes i guess. So, i'm trying to do that more. Also lifting my coil a lot to see how large the target is.
Something i'm learning now today are the different tones between field mode and park modes. It seems field mode is more of a pinpoint type of mode where it will squeel for any target. A higher pitch indicates closer to surface where as lower pitch would be deeper. The pitch doesn't seem to represent the type of target.
Park modes the tones seem to represent the target. Higher pitch means higher conductivity and lower pitch would be lower conductivity. I'm not sure about the tones in park modes representing any kind of depth. I can pinpoint much easier in field mode but more junk. Park modes are less active but for me better indicators of what's below. I guess maybe it would be worth while reading the manual! Need more hours on this machine too.
I usually run sensitivity two bars down from the top. Maybe i'll try three.
I've also heard varying opinions on ground balancing only if mineralization bar is 50% or higher otherwise just leave it set at 90 where it is when you turn it on. Around my house my Simplex auto balances at around 48.
Last but not least I ordered the SP24 from Kellyco. Went to a park a few days ago and i couldn't even move my coil without it freaking out. I just wanted to get right back in my car and go!
I'm going back over all the places i hit with the Ace and pulling stuff. Just pulled a silver bracelet last weekend from a spot i went over 20 times with the Ace.
