What is a quiet signal with the 250 ? do you mean on pinpoint i have just got my sniper and i get so many broken signals like it starts out a bell tone the gets real choppy ... what kind of readings gets you exited when your out?

 

[Uncle Willy]

You done good bud.

If you would do the "twitch" you might turn some of those choppy signals into good ones. Remember, the 250 is a motion detector.

Nice way to end your vacation! Great hunt .. congrats on the old coins

 

[lazyaussie]

thank all
oakman that's the fist time in my life i"v been called a girl .
Bruce the type of area is a large park. when i researched this site there were old areas 500m ether side of it so lots of people would have walked through it.
it really didn't look like a good spot to hunt it"s out of the way & it has no old trees or buildings just a big grass area.
The coins were from 4 inch to 6 inch deep & the old half penny was around 8 inch deep.
Traviswells i"ll explain a quiet tone- when i get a i get a bouncy signal going from high tone to iron i swing the coil over it real fast a few times ( twitching ) if the tone is mostly high tone ( 6 outta 10 mini swings ) i pinpoint the target if i get a very quiet scratchy signal that has a nice round coin size sound to it i dig if it"s a sharp quiet signal ( to small for a coin ) i leave it as it"s usually a small bit tin foil i run my ACE250 at almost full sensitivity one bar back from full & in all metal.
it"s hard to explain in words i could show you in 2 min & you"d be away i think it"s just the experience you"v had with your detector & being able to understand what it"s telling you. just dig some of those iffy signals one day you"ll dig a nice deep old coin & you"ll understand what i"m talking about.

Ooops! Sorry lazyaussie! I don't know why I thought you were. Truley I didn't mean anything by it.

 

[Uncle Willy]

Ah the old "twitch" does it every time.

[lazyaussie]

You're doing real well with your detector. I love the 1882 Half penny. What a top find. In fact, you are doing really well on pre-decimals generally. Keep up the good hunts.

P.S. I found a couple of Pre-Decimals as well over the break but will post them on Sunday when the family gets back with the finds and cameras.
