New Notch Feature In V0.71?

One of the most profound statements on metal detecting ever uttered. The testing of detectors has spawned more keyboard warriors than anything else. 

Testing is about fulfilling as metal detecting your wife's purse. Too many zinc's and very few quarters and the junk you have to sift through to get those!

I agree with you when you talk about keyboard warriors, in Italian language we say “Ultras da tastiera”, it’s the same and I agree. The fact is that in a test you organize the situation you want..when you go detecting is more difficult because situations are endless!

Are you near Perugia by chance?

Perugia is about 100km from here, it’s in Umbria region. I’m in Tuscany. But it’s not far from here!

I haven’t seen any video on V0.71. I also have seen no reports. One thing I noticed, when it first was available it gave you an opportunity to go back to V0.6. I did my friends the other day and it no longer offered going back to V 0.6. 

Strange.  I just updated to 0.71 on another machine today and I still had the option to revert to 0.6.

Well dang. I will pull up the update again tomorrow. My friend saw the screen same as me. Strange. Thanks for the heads up.

Well this is what I see now.

Thanks, guys! I remember the bit in the video about 00-00 being the catch-all bin for an unknown target. So you are saying that OFF lets the unknowns through and 00-00 notches them out, correct?

 

Unknown targets usually don't display any ID's, targets with 00 ID stand for all ground targets like deep target that have their ID pull down by the mineralization but also hot rocks, ferrites, potteries and some kinds of very thin and damaged iron too. So if you enable the 00-00 notch window, in reality, you notch all the ground part of ID's, in other words, you notch the -6.4 to 0 window.

‎I bersagli sconosciuti di solito non mostrano alcun ID, i bersagli con ID 00 stanno per tutti i bersagli terrestri come bersagli profondi che hanno il loro ID tirato giù dalla mineralizzazione, ma anche rocce calde, ferriti, ceramiche e alcuni tipi di ferro molto sottile e danneggiato. Quindi, se abiliti la finestra della tacca 00-00, in realtà, intagli tutta la parte di terra degli ID, in altre parole, intagli la finestra da -6,4 a 0.‎

but if you use the notch on 00, do you exclude target or exclude only the id of the ground?

As sly says, 00 typically is displayed for ground or deep, weak targets pulled down to ground ID in high mineralization or other ground anomalies such as concentrated mineralization patches, ferrites and other hot rocks. 

If reading 00, you COULD have a weak, down-averaged deep target or one of these ground anomalies.  Chances are high that it's a ground anomaly. 

Since the detector can't differentiate a ground anomaly from a legit target, if you notch 00 then yes, you will exclude the audio of a 00 target (you will still see 00 displayed as notch only suppresses audio) and there is a small chance you could pass over a deep legit target.  But unless you plan on digging every 00 target, you wouldn't know for sure. 

Based on the number of 00 hits that I typically encounter in the Relic program, especially in mineralized ground, I couldn't possibly dig them all and would simply be digging any given 00 at random.  Every 00 in Relic basically behaves the same way and as there really is no other way to interrogate a 00 target hit to differentiate one 00 from another 00 (most every 00 in Relic is silent in a "discrimination" program such as Deep HC (i.e., any program other than Goldfield or Relic)) I'd simply rather just notch 00 out and be done with it.  Thus giving my ears a break. 

I also typically run with (Iron Audo Reject (IAR) at 5 in Relic.  IAR does not silence 00 or ferrous IDs above 00. so that is why 00 notch is great.  With IAR engaged, I still get "iron" volume for targets that ID above 0 and less than about 10.  Oddly, even with IAR, 00 hits still sound off with non-ferrous pitch audio in Relic (and also presumably also in Gold Field).  Why IAR doesn't make 00 audio sound off as iron audio like the other ferrous IDs ABOVE 00 is weird, but 00 notch takes care of it so I don't really care and can ignore that quirk.

HTH
