Because of what was in the hole with it. Really didn't sound all that good and the vdi numbers were jumping around, except in one narrow direction I got a good steady hi tone with vdi of 85. I thought this needs investigating . Dug a three inch by three inch plug and out popped this 1963 silver quarter. I thought " what made that thing sound that way?" Scanned the dirt pyle and the hole with my propointer and found a wheatie, a memorial penny and a Jefferson nickel in there with it! The ATPro and 5X8 DD had done it again!

Just goes to show...You never know until it's outta the hole!
HH,
HH,
Nice... Yep, always listen to what the detector is tell you. I run in PRO mode, custom...Disc set at 35. Iron audio off. Always the same settings, no matter the area I'm hunting. There is an old section of a beach I hunt when Im bored. There is sooooo much trash that the detector never, ever shuts up....but every time I work it I cherry pick a wheatie or two from out of all the garbage. I never bother to look at the numbers when working that area. I just listen very closely for a momentary sweet sound hidden in all the garbage chatter. Other detectorists avoid this area like the plague...LOL. One of these days I will try out the Sniper coil in that area. I bought that coil a year ago and never tried it out...always run the stock coil.

Great pocket spill, that's my kind of hole! I hear you about going low & slow & picking out the sweet tones in trashy areas. I'm getting better at that - sometimes I only cover a few square yards in the ghost town bottle & trash dumps I've been working - every time I cover it from another direction I get a few new signals.
