A few targets from a several hunts with Impact

Guys and gals, I have been using the Impact and mostly in 14 with VlX2 and DI4, and F3. Sometimes I push up the gain not not always, depends on weather.

No brag, just learning this machine and I hope to learn more.
I am determined to find a gold ring with it but that might take awhile dirt fishing.
The ornate item is a gas valve. It was about 8 inches down and might be from the 1920's or 30's.
The one coin in the bottom left is an 1803 large cent badly corded. The two silver coins are 1943 and 1944 mercury dimes, found in the same hole.

Best of luck to all,

Tony
 
Very cool Valve. :thumbup: And of course, who doesn't love to find Mercury Dimes. ??

I did the same thing last September, popping a '37-s and '45-s from the same hole when I was checking out the new 5X9½ open-frame on my FORS CoRe.

I'm curious which search coil you were using, and what Disc. settings do you usually run? On my Impact I have everything 'normalized' and all Disc. modes have the rejection set at '03' and Fe. Vol. at '02' and only periodically do I switch from the default turn-on Frequency of 14 kHz.

Going to head off to a ghost town tomorrow after I drop my son off at the airport and among the devices travelling with me will be my Impact with the always-mounted 7" Concentric coil at-the-ready. That coil sees the most field-time and I switch to the 5" DD when conditions get really ugly with very dense debris.

Keep learning that Impact. It's a very good detector.

Hello Monte, I use the 7.5 x 4, I don't change the discrimination, l was in DI4 mode with F3 and gain was 75.

I will wish you luck at that hunt.

Tony
 
Thanks Rich, yeah the valve was a cool surprise and in terrific shape.

Those dimes were a first for me. I never found two in the hole like that. I have to credit the separation of the Impact in DI4 mode for that find.

Best of luck,

Tony NJ
