Another hunt,,about 2.5 hours long,,only used the small coil for around 45 minutes.
Same site as yesterday,,,my detector proving grounds I call it.
Only made one find,,,I could here this find in amongst the sea of iron vol reporting,,and ferrous reporting.
Again DI99,, 0 disc,,0 Imask,gain 99, 20khz.
This target,,coil position excruciating critical,,,did see 20 in the meter,,actually if I got perfect and wiggled coil,,a good steady 20 with a very clean mild tone.
Turn 90 degrees,,didn't like what I saw as good.
Turning back on target,,if I got the coil out of position slightly ID was go up,,seen 54 in the window.
A piece of brass, 2 nails recovered first,,,upon replacing plug sweeping,,iron tones still being produced. Some pottery also dug with target.
Remaining time in site was spent using stock coil on Impact,,,same settings as above,,but did vary disc setting,,to listen to ferrous reporting,,how it was affected.
My mission was to try and find one nonferrous target here,,remember this site beat up by myself with some worthy detectors.
If I could find a target,,even close to worthy sounding,,,would do a head to head with Deus wearing9" coil.
I only found one suspect target using Impact for the duration,,,I didn't like it,,but it was the best sounding,,meter presentable thing I got the coil over.
Upon cross checking with Deus,,it too,,told me not to dig,,actually signal using Deus was monstrous,,but had the chop in the audio reporting,,,Impact seemed to only like this suspect target better if coil was hovered moreso.( Still though not a target I would dig unless desperate based on all Intel gathered with coil sweeps and position).
At 6" deep,,a piece.of tin.
I have only I think ever dug 3-4 pieces of tin in this particular site during last 5 plus years.
Beginners or new users of Impact,,I recommend you stay at disc level 3 or higher when hunting these kinds of sites,,using stock coil.
When adjusting disc,,below 3,, detector will get a bit more sparky. Adjusting to level 4 or 5,,,a lot of ferrous audio is gone,,but remember a little higher disc here,,could possibly affect performance in detecting some goodies in sites such as this.
Now,,to be clear here for folks reading. This is honest reporting,,Impact found no,,nonferrous in this site on this one outing while using stock coil,,a hard hunted site.
Posting this data,,shouldn't necessarily reflect bad on the Impact detector here,,wearing stock coil.
I have a site I've hunted strictly with only Etrac and 10x12 SEF coil,,,a White's xlt may have been in there with stock coil,,I don't know.
But will be hunting with Impact with stock and smaller coils,,and may do some head to heads and report.
I only found 4 wheaties on my hunt there previously.
Here is the pic of the piece of tin.
Penny in pic for scale.
