Initial signal was a faint, choppy tone, jumpy 12/13 ID. After the 1st and 2nd scoops the signal went to negative #'s and gave me the iron tone. After the 3rd scoop the signal was gone. I utilized pinpoint mode thereafter and recovered the target after the 5th scoop. Solid 13 out the hole. Wet sand was hard packed so I don't believe the target was moving or sinking, no water filled the hole. Has anyone else experienced an initial good target going to negative #'s/iron readout? Halo effect on non-ferrous? Positive this target was at the brink of detection range...14" - 15" inches. Impressive depth but I will not trust that iron reading/tone if it is mixed with a positive reading/tone going forward. I run Beach 2 with no discrimination almost exclusively on the beach. GL & HH! Nice find! I have ran into what sounds like the same exact occurrence more than once, on at least 3 finds and once where I never ended up finding it. No rings in these instances though. Beach 2, all deeper then a foot. Numbers change as I work my way down. I keep going till it surfaces. Once foil, once a tight collection of penny, nickel and tiny copper tube together, another was an oddly colored unknown water smoothed slag (still have to check it). When I see the numbers change after first digging in I start checking different angles and using the bob action to see if it changes again. But I still dig it to learn. I sometimes have felt like I was maybe energizing the soil too much going over it. Probably nothing to do with it but I'm such a newb that's where my head takes me. Thanks for posting your story it will serve me well when next time I'm over 12 inches deep and feeling like I might get duped. It might just be a platinum ring this time! This thing locates deeep items. Maybe we just need to keep the numbers out of it at that depth and just go on faith. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
