Ok, This Helped Me, My Dirt (reducing Chatter/falsing)

[Medina]

Pumping the coil....50/50 found if there was halos or iron close it would grunt..bummer...won't stop experimenting 

So! Tried these audio settings and radical reduction in pattern (I opened it up to 8, -8 in field)

So much iron around this (we found out yesterday it's not virgin, heavily hit last year) 1840s house, pinpointing is quite impossible. Sens set around 22, 23, a bit higher than previously possible. 

Get a possible target, slowly reduce the swing, turning a full 360 to pinpoint. If I could get a repeatable tone matched with reasonably steady bid for half the circle, I'd dig 

Had an hour, hit the likely path from back door to privy 

The silver bracelet, catholic charms... one's stamped 1830. That's how it was in the hole no sht. I brushed off the dirt, but that's how they lay, check the nails, the big one was OVER the center of the cluster. Previous detectorist missed it, vdi was 90s..mixed in all the iron squonks

The gilded 1870s naval button ..roofing nails everywhere...vdi mid 40s, but the tones were the huge difference for me today

We'll figure this out lads 👍 I do wish they'd run a patch, and speed up the coil release....

this one, several times, has surprised me how it easily pulls a tiny thing from waaaay down deep. deeper than the 800... and.. starting to think its beating the ctx

Great finds mate!

[Cal_Cobra]

Nice finds, like the gilt Navy button! 

The religious medallion marked 1830 would likely be the date sainthood was given versus the date the medallion was made.

certainly processing   the #$%@ out of the CTX.

the ONLY reason I bought the manti, the ctx was simply too heavy for 4 or 5 hour hunts... 

I'm sure we'll  all learn the manti, but right now, the CTX stomps it (my hands, my dirt, my spots)

I'm starting to see glimpses of hope,  granted an aluminum nail head...is an aluminum nail head...but when you find it in rust and nails at 7ish 8ish" down

.....certainly gotta give cred where cred is due

Depth of the manti is crazy.  Rarely ever had to remove the top 3" of plug to use g-carrot with the equinox.

Its a very tough call  both are superb processors.  Manti has that kick ass ratio though on spike to target.  CTX lets you bring in more juice overall though before it gets noisy, Manti needs a big reject block (or bordered FL grid like Neil's) to allow more of the Sens to be run.  Just being able to tune the speed is a huge deal too.

The Meaning of the Front Side of the Miraculous Medal

Mary is standing upon a globe, crushing the head of a serpent beneath her foot. She stands upon the globe, as the Queen of Heaven and Earth. Her feet crush the serpent to proclaim Satan and all his followers are helpless before her (Gn 3:15). The year of 1830 on the Miraculous Medal is the year the Blessed Mother gave the design of the Miraculous Medal to Saint Catherine Labouré.
