Went out with a friend who has an MXT. We swapped for a while. The White you just move over the ground seems more slowly holding it over a spot it id's target. I'm asking, "with the Ace you swing, not hold, right?" And, can you id with just holding it over the target, not pinpointing, just holding? Also, found my first wheat last week, since, found another! Something about a wheat! Still looking for the silver, though. I'm impressed at all your insight of md'ing. It sure has helped me, tremendously. Thanks lewis

Ace 250 swing speed?

Don't know about the whites, but the ace is a motion detector
as far as the ID. It pretty much needs to have some motion,
unless the target is so strong it sees it anyway. When pinpointing,
the machine goes to non motion mode , in full metal, and there is
no ID. Only depth readout. There are little tricks you can use to
get an ID on a pinpointed target. My usual is to slightly wiggle
the coil forwards and backwards just a bit until it rings up.
On a real deep target, sometimes you will have to fully move
the machine across the target. You will notice that often, when
you pinpoint a target, and release the button to go back to motion
mode, it will ring once. Usually, that ID will be correct in most
cases. With the ace's, you want pretty good motion if you want the
most depth. And it's pretty hard to swing too fast. For the most
part, the ace machines will keep up with you even if you really
whip the coil.

You got to keep any VLF machine moving to ID a target, even just a little bit will do it. Congrats on the wheats and hope you get a silver!!

Yeah and the faster you whip it the deeper it goes.

Yep. I'd have to double check about the low end
of the VLF range, but in general each ??F range
runs with a "3", plus whatever. IE:
VLF = 3-30 hz
LF = 30-300 hz
MF = 300-3000 hz
HF = 3000-30000 hz, or 3-30 Mhz "1000 hz = 1 mhz"
VHF = 30-300 mhz
UHF = 300-3000 mhz
etc...
As a ham, I have allocated frequencies in the MF,
HF,VHF,UHF and higher ranges. I think I can get on
VLF, LF as an experimenter.
6.5 hz is a really low frequency. I think it's even
lower than the submarines use. As a comparison, the
low end of the AM broadcast band starts at 540 hz
in the USA. Thats a good bit higher than the detectors.
