60 and 11 VDI

[D&P-OR]

Ron----Interesting you would ask this question about 11 TID on the Legend.-----My wife & I were just talking about this.-----She found a small 14k ring that locked dead on at 11--no matter which way you swung over it.---That's in Park mode--- good, solid hit with lock on number.-----Field mode would hit it but the tones were "splattered" and the numbers "bouncy".-----------Del

Hope this is closer related, what was the highest number gold jewelry ever showed on the Legend for anyone?

45

45

And for argument’s sake the lowest number?

Tmops, interesting addition. I wonder what one of those large collegiate style mens rings would do.
So far my better hit 11s are nothing but foil and at 4-5” deep. It must have been a fad to take what I think is stick type chewing gum inner wrappers and fold the into a square about the size of a nickel. The other 11s were non carrot detectable on medium setting but the entire hole sounded off on high. I believe its something larger and deeper.
So far no jewelry recovered, yet.

I've had gold chains reading as low as 7, so that's where I set my tone break at the beaches and hunted out tot lots.

The other 11s were non carrot detectable

Carrot, MI4/6, Fisher, Whites, Pulsedive… I've lost count how many times the Legend would pick (and ID!) a really small gold piece (like a tiny chain bracelet or back of an earring) that is imperceptible to any pinpointer on the market.

Yes interesting so far we have jewelry hitting as high as 45. Haven’t had mine out enough to find any jewelry yet, but looking to see how low it hits

Pulltaboo you just posted right before i hit post.
Thats what ive been hearing as well that it picks up the smallest pieces, which is nice to get those small link chains.
But here is an interesting thing that so far you have hit gold jewelry from 7-45 on a scale of 1-60.
If anyone hit lower than 7 wonder how much jewelry was left behind if everything wasn’t dug up.
How many people would actually dig every 7

When you guys report these numbers, please include what mode you are in….When hunting gold nuggets and such (smaller gold) its advisable to hunt in higher frequencies…Is the vdi scale the same in all modes ?

Very good point I overlooked

The Legend also seems to use 11 for weak target responses it cannot ID other than Ferrous/Non Ferrous. Still making field observations on this.

This thread came to mind this morning in a typically trashy park from the late 60s . Originally had the large brass sprinlkler heads for the watering system that blow your ears out with 55 to 58 VDIs. I was unaware of that at first and the first signal I had was a solid 59 about 4 inches down , turned out to be a stack of 7 clad quarters. After I hunted the park a bit and began finding sprinkler heads I realized why that stack of quarters had laid there undetected for so long , it was probably an overload on most machines. I have yet to get an overload on the Legend , is it capable?

 

[JCR TX]

The Users Manual states Black sand can cause an overload & it will display a warning icon. I have yet to have mine overload on anything field hunting that caused any problem, including big near surface iron.

Just an FYI , this was a solid 60 today

That is similar to what I have been carrying for 40+ years. A pocket tool box.
