Enclosed are today's finds from a fresh water lake and couple of tot lots minus the square nail which I tossed in the pic to represent iron.

Have a question, Let's say the SST had a threshold while operating in disc mode would this enhance or take away performance? It's a silent search detector but as I raise the gain to max noticed a little threshold does bleed in, But let's say the SST had a threshold no matter what the Gain is would this enhance or take away performance?

Thanks for looking,

One question I have though is that when ground balancing how do you know if there is any metal in the ground when you ground balance it at startup? Other detectors I have you put them in all metal mode sweep the ground then ground balance. What is the best practice for the DFX as far as this goes?

Also the one I picked came with the 950 coil and a D2 coil are there any times that I wouldn't want to use the D2 on it? I never use my concentric coil on my other machine since I got a DD.

Thanks,

Then the obvious question is why doesn't every brand/model use the same frequency for the same purpose? For example 7 kHz for coins, and 18 kHz for gold.

Beyond the set frequency in a MD, several MD's allow the user to switch the frequency. Oddly it isn't marketed to allow people to necessary find different items, it is often marketed as a option for electric interference problem solving or for competition events to prevent overlapping other MD signals. Surely jumping from a 7 kHz to 15 kHz for example would vastly alter the person's outcome while detecting.]]> umax White's Main Detecting ForumSun, 05 May 2013 18:56:01 -0500 http://www.findmall.com/read.php?31,1905846,1905846#msg-1905846 http://www.findmall.com/read.php?31,1905846,1905846#msg-1905846(This message does not contain any text.)

Here's the answer.....and it will cost you....a couple pieces of Velcro tape....just like the Velcro tape pieces that come with a lot of metal detectors but most of us don't use. I can now use the factory holster that was taking on dust in the closet. You can take it off/on in a snap and just toss the holder in the washer for cleaning. Simple and works for all detectors!

I will try to get in touch with the head of my town historical society tomorrow. I heard through a few sources that he used to detect. He would also know what was there before. It could have come in with fill dirt?? It happens.
I did notice that I put a small scratch on the upper rim area. Thankfully it was not on the face anywhere. When I first dug the hole, I pinpointed a small rusty nail down around 5 inches. When I rescanned the hole it still showed a signal down lower in the center. I was thinking another nail. That was how I got careless. Never in my wildest dreams did I think one of these would pop up. In the 30 minutes prior to finding it I pulled 1 quarter, 4 dimes, and 5 pennies from about 4-5 inches down. So you can understand why it surprised me so much.
