I'm having an issue with depth/targets. Target shows 68 on my F2,(which has been penny so far everytime) and when i use the pinpointer on the F2 it shows the depth to be 12"...this is on full sensitivity.
I notch the sensitivity down to 3 bars and it still shows 68 12"....the ground is semi-hard and dry/dusty on top (backyard is horridly dusty right now).
I dig the 12" hole and find nothing, but the signal over the hole still shows 68 12". I dig another 2" or so and still find nothing. My hand pinpointer that came with the F2 hits nothing also.
This has also happened with a solid 72 signal, which has always been dimes. Except with the 72, it will go from 72 to 00 (which is what the silver quarter I found kept doing 82/00 repeatedly) and still nothing.
This house is old and nobody has ever been here to hunt it. I guess I just want to know if my F2 is really seeing it at 12" or deeper or is something else going on?
As for other settings, right now I'm only running nickel/dime/quarter (just so I can practice and clean what I thought would be shallow targets.) I tried running with just Iron disc'd out and i ended up finding an old steel pail about 20" deep. Son and I were whipped after digging that out and filling that "divot".
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!
