More data from hunt today.
Same site as yesterday.
See pic.
Not many finds.
But what few I did get,,showed some worthy data.
Deus 9" coil,,almost half meter full mineralization wise,,,18khz, reactivity 3, silencer -1,full tones disc varied between 0-6.
Only changed disc setting when sweeping targets.
I was fooled by the curled square nail,,,but full tones 0 disc give less worthy signal on this nail vs full tones Disc level 6.
The 22 cal brass,,this target only around 1.5" deep,,,using disc level 6,, a good signal,,,run disc down to 0,, have to flush the target and not be sweeping to fast to lock on.
Even pivoting around this target,,,the same as above when changing disc between 0 and. 6.
The piece of horse tack I think,,found using disc level 6,,detecting fro the best angle,,I compared coil position when sweeping this target (undisturbed). Using disc level 6,,,Deus would break disc even if the target was swept just inside the coils toe,,using disc level 0,, this same position(just inside the toe),, hardly any tonal difference noted (to get me) to hone my coil position to locate target,,,so here in 0 disc I had to get really close to center of coil,,,before I would get something tonally to alert me.
This target,,when pivoting around the target,,,using disc level 6 actually gave more nonferrous tone,,,in one position using disc 0,, nothing tonally provided to tell me something was there nonferrous.
The piece of lead in pic.
This target gave good tone using disc level 6,, but when turning 90 degrees,,no tonal info to tell me the nonferrous target was there. Running 0 disc,,I got good 4way signal,,when turning 90 degrees from best detectable position,,tone provided not as ideal,,but ample enough for a good Dig decision.
The flat looking piece of brass,,I didn't see any real differences with it when comparing,,,other than the fact coil position again using 0 disc,,has to be closer to center of coil to give me something reason wise to move my coil and find the (exact spot) for the sweeter dig me tone.
The back end of the bigger than. 22cal casing,,it gave better tone using disc 6,, when Infound this,,it seemed based on Deus sounding off on some bigger iron,,this cartridge setup up a lot like the IH and nail in the opening post here in this thread.
Using disc 0,,when Inwould come over the iron and hit this target,,a rather sharp tone would come in,,,disc level 6 much smoother,,and this is with very similar sweep speeds down the same area over target.
So using full tones using both 0 and lower disc vs Disc level 6,, both have their advantages.
But from what I'm seeing,,,if I was in a one time good deal hunt in carpet of nails,, I would opt for disc level 6 vs full tones and 0 or low(er).
(Now if the site had been pounded by someone with Deus using Disc 6 or very similar,,,then Inwould opt for full tones and 0 or what I call lower disc.
