Been playing at the local beach. I know it is loaded with trash and iron and that is exactly why I have gone there to learn my Nox
Running park 2 discriminating all iron, 1,2,5 and a couple more in the mid teens. Just don't like hearing all those signals and based on my collected data are all trash I have found at the beach. Am not worried they may be excluding some treasure right now.
Got a couple of things I don't quite understand and would like an idea as to what might be happening.
First: Quite a few times I've hit what should have been a quarter or higher, 28-32 kinda bouncy but consistent in 3 or more directions. I'll then dig it up and the signal disappears, fades significantly or in some cases changes (strong 23-26 then becomes a 12-16). Going to all metal before digging sometimes I hear iron, sometimes I don't, same when I go to all metal after digging.
In most cases I find nothing, but in a few I'll find an old rusty nail or bobby pin, usually down 8 or more inches.
Any thoughts on what may cause this?
Second is sorting out signals with all metal. A number of times I'll get a strong 7 (gold!) or other good higher signal, the signal itself doesn't really matter what matters is it is repeatable although not always stable. I then switch to all metal mode and I can pretty much isolated the signal away from any iron by as little as a couple inches. All metal gives me the impression that there are 2,3 and sometimes more trash items sometimes iron, sometimes not, in the hole alongside the "target" I first isolated.
Then, when I dig it, I usually find only one item and often trash. Again, any thoughts on what causes this?
Lastly, I've hit some strong signals, especially in the dime-quarter range with an indicated depth of 10 or so. And I dig to 12 inches and still don't find anything but if I put my carrot in the hole, especially in hi sensitivity, it goes nutz showing something "straight down to hell"
I'll dig a little more but still find nothing. Since I don't want to dig more than 12 inches I stop.
Am thinking it might be a buried beer can or something large.
Any thoughts not only what might do this, but why it does it?
