OK, I have a question for our learned colleagues:
I've been using my 4" coil on my Bounty Hunter Legacy 3500 a lot lately while working an old city park that has nearly 80 years of hidden trash. For the most part this coil has been EXACT....except with dimes.
Here's my problem:
I get a signal that looks to be a dime by the sound and by the display on my Legacy 3500 when swinging one direction. When I swing the opposite direction to help pin point, I get the display signal of a Zinc penny. The depth tends to stay the same for either indication. When I dig the find, probably 99% of the time it is a penny. If the unit gives me the indication it's a dime in both directions, then it will be a dime.
So why do I get 2 different signals? Am I doing something wrong? It's starting to frustrate me!
Thanks in advance for y'all's input.
HH y'all.
