Red Dirt

I am curious to see how ground moisture affects the performance of the MDT. I am hoping more will actually be a benefit. It is very dry here now & hard digging past 5-6 inches.

Most all detectors will perform well with good ground conditions….that is if the operator knows how to detect with the machine. Lol…. I love detecting in the moist soil! Targets sing!!!

I know this is very true; on unmasked targets. I'm wondering about the moisture making the Iron & Minerals in the soil more "active".   Normally an extra challenge with a traditional VLF.

If this will enhance the MDT's ability of using these to enhance targets. Sounds like you have seen this to be the case.

I don't like digging hard ground either! We are to get some rain soon & cooler weather.
