Hi Tahoegold !
Sorry to hear you weren't getting notifications, but better late by a year than never. Seriously, thanks for catching up with your current reply. It means a lot to me and I'll give your method a try using a sample zinc penny to set the dial indicator position.
If I'm interpreting correctly, you are setting the dial indicator using a zinc penny and thumbing back down the arc CCW until the signal is barely detectable with pops and crackles and then leaving the dial set at that position for the rest of your hunt, as apposed to thumbing up and down on every hit like Digger27 does...is that correct ?
Also, do you (a) drop a zinc penny on top of the ground to set the dial, or (b) bury it, or (c) just wait until you get a random hit that sounds like a zinc penny and make the setting with that ?
Again, if I'm interpreting you correctly, it sounds as if your method is a panacea, excluding iron and presumably other trash like steel bottle caps, aluminum stay-tabs, pull-tabs, and foil in all it's forms including those aggravating freshness seals, while still hitting on coins...is that correct ?
Sorry for all the questions, but your results sound so amazing and I want to duplicate the method precisely.
Thanks again 1
