The mighty Deus.
Fast separating rascal detector.
Some folks may decide to hunt trashy sites, and may be wondering about notch.
Can using notch help a person in such sites?
Yep
Can using notch hurt a person in such sites?
Yep
Take a look at the pic below.
Ruler is in pic to show scale distance wise.
A nail and a clad dime.
Now some modern sites do have a mix of nonferrous trash, nails, etc.
So what about detecting this dime in the pic?
Btw 9" LF coil (black one) used in test.
Keep in mind a clad dime reads 91 on the Deus meter using 18 kHz.
So I'll share some things here.
Beginner Deus user may find this helpful especially.
When a detectorists thinks of notch generally, they think they can just set the detector to reject say a tab or other junk and the detector will let all say the high conductor through tonally.
Is this true here totally?
Nope.
Using the Deus in the pic sweeping down the barrel of nail I can easily pick the dime up with settings reactvity 3, sens 90, 18khz, with no notch applied.
So what if I decide to use notch and detect this dime.
Sounds easy right just dial notch say from 0-85 or so, and the dime will bust through tonally when the coil,is swept down the barrel with dime laying off the one end.
Not so fast here!!
In the pic, I can use the settings above, and start employing notch as I sweep.
Yep the dime slips through tonally, but once I get to approx 0-62/63 the dime tonally is absent.
Now remember this almost 30 points shy here of what a solo dime reads on the meter in 18khz.
Be careful with notch.
