If your asking me, I certainly will, it's pretty rough right now. My EQ800 is supposed to land today so I'm working on a double sidded cheat sheet I can fold up and carry in my pocket, or pouch for a while until I get my feet wet on the EQ. I remember in the old days the Etrac came with a little laminated fold-up cheat sheet from the factory, that was a nice touch. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dca2 Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 I rearranged the chart and used the same values. I laminated it and put it in my finds pouch. I found the numbers to be mostly correct in my front yard. I can’t exactly remember which were off for me but they were all within 1. No silver yet to report on. I’ve pulled one 1914 dime out of my yard in the past but none yesterday. It was nice to check the sheet and guess what I would pull out of the ground. I need more time but in 45 minutes I pulled 3 quarters, 2 dimes, 1 nickel, 3 Lincoln Cu, 3 Lincoln Zn, 1 oval-smooth glass “stone” set like a jewel and a smooth rusted chunk of iron at 11” that rang a solid 26 from all angles. I have been over my small front yard more times than I can count and the clad I found has been there a while—pretty impressive I ran Park 1 and Park 2 factory settings + noise cancel. Park 2 was really chatty, it took a while to get used to all the noise. My rearranged chart: eqx vdi.xlsx 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steveg Posted March 9, 2018 Author Share Posted March 9, 2018 NICE chart, dca2! Thanks for sharing! Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steveg Posted March 9, 2018 Author Share Posted March 9, 2018 OK, a follow-up video, this time the same testing, but also including running the ring in Park 1 with NO discrimination. This reveals that the ring is being seen, when on-edge, largely as "iron" by the machine. I also ran the on-edge ring in Park 2 mode, with only marginally better results. Interesting how the machine deals with this target. For what it's worth -- while I will not include the link here, I also ran the same ring in the same hole using the CTX 3030. That video is also up on my channel, if interested. Steve 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
