Often when i log on i read stories about people who say they find silver giving off a scratchy signal. Not all the time but i see quite a few stories about amazing targets that gave off terrible or questionable signals.
In a year and a half of POUNDING out the local parks i have only ever found one thing from a questionable signal. One merc in the hole next to a nail that rang up on the lower edge of a zinc penny signal with my old ace 250.
this year i upgraded to an AT Pro and so far not a single scratchy signal has yielded anything but trash. even at 10-12 inches the 2-3 coins ive recovered were faint but very repeatable consistent VDI signals.
is my soil not mineralized as badly as other places or is my sample size of reference just too small? I always try to go out with that "dig everything" attitude but 20 or so holes of trash in i begin to get alot more selective.
not looking for a definitive answer as i know soil type and trash prevalence plays a HUGE role in this discussion, just curious about others experience.
