Need some advice on locating deep targets with my Equionox and 15" coil.
I have a good permission on an 1890 - 1910 era home. Was searching the six inch coil in a small area about 20 x 50 feet and around the foundation of the home. But was mostly getting modern clad withing 1-2 inches. After I hunted that area pretty good, I hunted it again with the 6" coil and was listening for deeper signals and pulled out two wheats. the soil was bone dry and hard digging the deeper signals. Dropped my sensitivity down to 17.
We expect rain this weekend so monday I am going to hit the same area with the 15" coil and will drop the recovery down to 4 for the deep coil. Will increase the sensitivity up to about 20 - 22.
On the 800 are the deeper signals fainter? I am using bin tones to emphasize everything 21 but still hearing faintly all below 22. Using Field 2.
any other advice for this type of hunt? Mainly looking for old coins.
