This morning i made some little cheat sheets to affix to my detectors to get a better handle on what some things ring in at.
It is especially confusing because one has target numbers that go to 40, another to 99 and the third to 199.
So after putting the tags on the machines and cleaning out the sand from the car from a recent beach trip, i decided to swing the Simplex+ in the yard.
I immediately got a signal ringing in at 71-73. Consistent from all angles. My cheat sheet indicated it could be a penny.
Just before i started to dig i thought i would check it with my Vanquish 540 and BH Discovery 3300. With all 3 detectors i varied the modes and included all metal.
Both the Discovery and Vanquish gave it very low numbers. So I dug it up and found a very rusty bottle cap. Out of the ground the Simplex+ started to give it high 90's, occasionally dipping into the 30's.
Why such a difference between machines?
It is official, i now have a plethora of detectors. i love that word Plethora, it means a lot to me.
