XP2 High frequence coil

IMO, it enhances the sounds of small bits of metal when dirt fishing. I only used it for a few hours on privates and woods.
It’s stable I guess over coins. I did find two wheat cents and some clad that day.
I still need to get on a beach and see how it does there. I didn’t test its separation ability with coins and bottle caps or nails.

I’ll probably do the same until I understand what it telling me
Need some stability/much more accurate TIDs on that thing.-----I sure hope they get that ironed out!
Using the HF2 coil with V3.1 software, as long as I keep the Max Frequency on 29 kHz, target IDs are really good using all of the factory search modes. Max Frequency 53 kHz, they start to up average fast with everything reading 3 to 5 target IDs higher. 89 kHz......I just use that for dig it all situations with Pitch 2.
XP made the decision for now to not normalize target IDs at 18 to 20 kHz like they did with the original Deus 2 FMF coils. So the higher the frequency with the HF2 coil, the more target IDs are going to go up. Same as Deus 1 and the HF coils. Those coils did not have ID normalization with Deus 1. They did have ID normalization with the ORX.

Jmaclen, I read your post about higher frequency and higher it’s but it didn’t stick in my head.
How do I get those junk target sounds to go back to low?
Here are my finds from my first beach outing with HF2 coil. The bottle caps and other junk sounded good. I was in high freq 89

I have not used the HF2 coil at a saltwater beach yet. If I did, I would only use it in dry salt sand or slightly wet salt sand and I wouldn’t submerge that coil until XP get a water tight seal for the lower shaft mounted battery. For saltwater Beach modes I would only use 29 kHz max frequency. You might be able to use one of the land based modes in dry sand at 53 kHz.
Freshwater beaches, you can use any max frequency and land based program that runs well but 53 and 89 kHz max frequency will mess up the target IDs a lot.
Do junk targets mean aluminum and steel?

Thanks.
Mostly the steel bottle caps sounded like a high tone. One aluminum never tail without the tail sounded high.
