I'm VERY new to detecting and I've purchased a Simplex +. I wanted to try my hand at relic hunting since my husband I purchased a piece of land about a year ago that was once part of a civil war battle. That said, I've been using it in field mode and it doesn't seem to be going very deep or picking up a lot of stuff. However, when I switch over to park mode, it seems to be getting a lot of hits that are very deep. I can't say that I find anything when I try to dig things up in park mode because the hits don't seem to be consistent. For example, I could get a 25 and 75 in the same spot seconds apart. Isn't field mode supposed to be the deep mode? What am I not understanding about park mode? I should mention that the soil is heavy, but nutrient-rich, clay and absolutely covered ivy. Also, I know the land has been hunted before so there may not be many relics left. I just wanted to try it for myself. Thank you for helping a newbie!
