What was your ground I. D. 

More importantly,how many bars were displayed on the mineralization strength bargraph (see inset on the pic below)?

It was 87.

Six bars.

My ground I.D. is 92 on the Deus2. I’m able to pull coins out of the ground 7 inches.  
 

Your ground looks dry a good rain should help with targets.

Ground ID on Deus does not necessarily correlate at all to ground mineralization level.

Yep. Thanks.  That is moderately mineralized ground alright.

What would be your go to program for high mineralization and modifications if any to that program to try.

Yes, phase and mineralization strenght are not connected each other. In these screenshots my Deus showed low phase but high strenght...v3i, on other soil, ferrous phase and very low mineralization strenght..

Glenn - still trying to figure that out.  It depends on my primary target of interest (e.g., High conductive coins versus mid conductive jewelry, relics, or nickels), my depth objective and how much modern and ferrous trash is present.  Right now, if going as deep as possible regardless of target type, Deep HC is my go to.  Followed by Relic and then General.  I adjust reactivity consistent with whatever separation is needed, but keep it no lower than 1 to limit ground feedback.  I’m partial to pitch tones but will often switch between pitch, full, and 5-tones to interrogate targets and for dealing with modern trash (e.g., can slaw reveals itself better in full tones).  I tend to avoid the ferrous filters (BC reject, silencer) but do use disc (between 6 and 10 in pitch and multi tones, and between -2 to +2 in full tones (FT), though I may change that FT disc now that 0.7 has incorporated FT iron volume). I set IAR to 5 in Relic mode.  I may change my philosophy on no ferrous filters (BC reject, silencer) based on the ver 0.7 tweaks to those filters.  Basically, it is still a work in progress.  With this approach I demonstrated reliable target ID on a minie ball target down to about 7.5 inches in Deep HC with full bars showing in the mineralization strength meter.

Thanks for your input and suggestions. I'll try these and see if I can come up with a combination that will work in my area. It would be great if I can get the Deus II to ID around the 7 inch depth area, as it is a lot easier to swing than the TDI. ?
