D2 Fast Pulls Coins From My Pounded Site

[NCtoad]

I can’t say for sure how many times I’ve hit this particular site, but probably half a dozen times with the nox and 3 or 4 times with the deus.  This time I ran the stock Fast program with disc at 40, sensitivity at 95 and pitch in PWM tones.  This is a site where some old mill houses stood and it’s littered with old trash, pieces of coal, you name it, but very little modern trash or coins.  I can’t believe I found 15 pennies.  12 are wheats and 3 copper memorials.  I also got two military buttons, a princess pat makeup lid and what looks like an old lipstick case.  I’ve probably gotten 10 silver coins from this area.  I was really hoping to get on the board for 2023 to start my silver count😟.

It's working for ya ! 

Buttons not silver but not pull tabs either.

Mongo like anchor one .😜

Nice run NC! 👍

Cool that you said "and now for something completely different", and it came up strong. 🏆 Seems to me the D2 is full of surprises. 🤔

Might give that a shot myself. Saw another post with similar settings that had a good return. 🙂

Did you get a lot of trash?

Nice hunt and glad to see the saves.

Good luck out there on your next hunt.

Still cool finds, NCt! Silver will come, but that Anchor button is cool and the Flier's button looks like it could be WWI era. Well done!

Yep the fast program is the real deal...I’ve had it pull out 3 coins in a small area where a house burned down that I had previously been over with the Nox and 10x5 ...deus fast sniffed them right out.

I'm now a believer in the FAST program I don't think it'll be my first choice at a new site but it does a hell of a job of cleaning up an old site. Don't be scared to use notch either once you know you're in the iron why listen to it? Notch can really free up those commingled targets I don't think it works like that on any other detector.

I think I dug two holes that were nails. You have to remember though how many times I’ve hit this area. Thus I’m digging signals I probably wouldn’t if it were a newer site.  The more times I go over a site the iffier the signals I will dig praying that it might be silver!

If the D2 is ID'ing coins in trash better than certain detectors, then does it have to do with the following, and would you be able to do the same with other detectors?

1) Using a low iron bias.

2) Using a fast recovery speed.

3) Using a SMF mode that is heavily weighted toward low frequencies such as 3 khz to 5 khz, which often provides much better ID's on coins when masked by nonferrous trash. It seems as though when going above around 7-10 khz, nonferrous masked coins will ID lower than nickel and could have very well been missed with other detectors. For example, to the best of my knowledge, the Nox's Park1 goes above 10 khz.

I don’t know what voodoo hoodoo stuff xp has going on with the d2.  I had silencer at 2, bottlecaps at 0 and reactivity at 3.
