Dances With Doves Posted July 4, 2020 Share Posted July 4, 2020 In my now bone dry ground I buried this target at about 3inches,maybe a tad more.With the earring lying flat on the ground and the post facing me I might get a weak signal one way but it is so soft and not repeatable that it would be hard to hunt this way with the GMX and 4by6 coil.It is hard also to tell it from a false signal.This coil with the cover on is a fail for me in this test.The earring is 10k at 2.8 grains.

Dances With Doves Posted July 4, 2020 Author Share Posted July 4, 2020 I then put on the much loved 6inch concentric coil with no cover ( GMX) on this target and got nice soft repeatable hit with post facing me with a little room to spare. I then could turn on target and get some weaker hits on the more difficult angles. I would say this coil passes on this test with a good grade for a very tough target. They are much tougher targets then most ring hunting situations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dances With Doves Posted July 4, 2020 Author Share Posted July 4, 2020 I tried the Nox with 11" coil on this tough target that has 2 pieces of junk about 12 inches on both sides and in all the park 2 modes and all the gold 2 modes it was a no go.I wonder if the junk is hindering with that signal.I will try 6" coil after.

The signal was week but sounded in both directions around 10-12 VDI. Was park 2 the only setting you used and after GB and Noise what were your settings?

I tried the gold modes and this earring is smaller then most.In park 2 in multi I had sens. at 20 with recovery at 4 with f2 0 bias.20 and 40 kz. sens. was near max . The gold modes were about the same settings.I think the nearby junk hinders me from getting a distinguished signal on this target.That is why small coils have their place.None of my gold earrings will give a id at 10-12.

It was probably heavier than yours as I never weighed it (no scales ) to determine the weight. My wife showed it to me when I asked her about it, she is hoping I find the other one.

Dances With Doves Posted July 5, 2020 Author Share Posted July 5, 2020 I put the 6" coil on the nox and used park 2 mode sens .22 in multi freq. first and tried all modes in park 2 in 2 tone. multi gave me mostly weak iron tones and gave me them in most angles. In 20kz. I got very weak iron hits in 24 sens..In 40kz. I got stronger iron and some none iron hits and seemed less coil speed demand to get a good signal at max sens. I Got a hit in most angles.In gold 2 mode in multi freq. with sens .21 I got not that bad a signal that seemed better with faster swing speed with mixed id.In 20kz it was a weaker but smooth signal with worse id at 24 sens. At max sens. in 40 kz. I got a very nice signal with mixed id that was tighter and less sensitive to swing speed.I would use 40kz. in gold mode for this target for my first choice.You could put all the park 2 modes in 1 tone to get a smoother signal and decide what to dig .
