I have put this question off for way too long..."Do I ask to many "prove-it questions" concerning why my $1500 machine misses 3-4" quarters, while others with cheap machines run right behind me and ask me how I missed this quarter?
I seem to get my closer veteran friends sometimes frustrated and quickly quieted by these repeated why questions. These are all great guys yet they seem to just feel that you dig some bad targets, you dig some good targets, you miss good targets, so just go to the next target. Really pisses me off to no end to always be beat out 2-to-1 on simple clad. Some immediate advice has been here on-line, "Sell that flagship and buy brand-x."
Do your close(r) detecting friends really care much about why your machine is always struggling on basic, simple targets, while theirs work, over the same exact signal? Do I simply have too much Missouri blood in me and need "Show-me proof?"
OK I am a retired research and design engineer and we had to ALWAYS KNOW why sh!t failed. Does this mentality fly here in this hobby at all in metal detecting, or are in the hobby most just a "pass-fail" group, and then sell off and buy brandX that others have good success with?
My dear ol' Momma, being from Missouri, would have to know why in everything.
