Hey Folks,
Does anyone have any experience they want to share on hunting in all-metal mode with the Sov and then checking deep signals in discriminate?
I was out at a park recently that has produced old coins from the late 1800's, but some were down close to 10". Anyone who uses an 8 inch coil on the Sov knows that is really pushing the limit of the machine. Coins that deep do not sound off in the coin range, but only sputter a bit, indicating that it is not iron. Without digging these signals you can't know for sure what they are and they would be very easy to miss in disc mode if you are not swinging very very slow. However, in the all-metal mode they hit at a much faster swing speed. I found a couple of these coins last time out just using the all-metal mode and ignoring anything that did not sound 6+ inches in depth. I just installed a quick push-button on my handle to switch from all-metal to disc right in the middle of a swing to check these signals much quicker than having to flick the toggle switch on the housing each time.
Cheers
