Gaz....I would not have been running an open screen because I hunt in conductive tones....so I honestly can't answer what it would sounded like.
An open screen is usually associated with ferrous sounds which I do not hunt in.
To me that same hit would have been a jumbled up mess if I was hunting open screen/ferrous tones.
I prefer to hunt in conductive tones with some iron mask because of what I hear over partially iron masked targets.
Here's the link to my field test post containing over 60 different hunts of various coil tests...comparisons...nicer finds...etc..: http://www.findmall.com/read.php?19,1055627,1055627#msg-1055627Been swingin' the coil since 1972Started out in 1972 with a Jetco Detector...then the late 70's with a Whites 6000
....then in 1981 went to a Bounty Hunter VLF TR 840
...then in the early 1980's I went to a Whites 6000 Di Pro...mid 80's I went to a Whites Eagle II SL...Late 80's/Early 90's I went to the Whites XLT...1990's I used the Fisher CZ5, CZ6, CZ7, 7aPro, and CZ70Pro
...Started using Minelabs in 1999
with a brief stint on the Musketeer while also using the CZ's...then in 2002 I switched to the Minelab Explorers and currently use an Explorer 2, SE, SEPro, and E-trac with an arsenal of coils
Here's the story of my BEST FIND EVER.:
http://www.findmall.com/read.php?19,876944,876944#msg-876944"Metal detecting is an escape for me and allows me to find some much needed peace and solace.
Being able to clear my head...even if only for that short while...is much more meaningful than any amount of finds that end up in my pouch"
