BHID works great as a relic hunting machine as well!

Took my BHID out to the woods to see how it would fair as a relic machine. Well it works great I was using it in all metal mode cranked up. I was only recovering deep targets and leaving anything shallow.(you can hear the diff.) You can really focus on the deep targets if you listen for the rise in threshold, anything that would not show ID got dug. BTW Civil war minis come in as yellow on the ID with an occasional flick of blue. (on most machines they ID as stinkin zincs)
I found one mini in a open hole, thank you relic hunters using WS coils.......prob lost the target after opening the hole. So always check any digging and if you had a good signal dig deeper!! Hot rocks in this area are a nusiance, but were easliy passed by cause they would "bong" after the coil passed by much like flat iron at the beach. Also unlike beach hunting the Red light means "STOP" some really good relics are made of iron like, grape shot,gun parts, knives, bayonets etc. and have been passed by for years due to disc.

Recovered 7 bullets, not a pile but a good haul from a beat to death spot. 2 were fired Selmas (CS) and 5 assorted yankee by the locations. Worked a spot between two trenches with a small stream between forces were about 50-75 yards apart firing in light rain. What fun trying to shoot black powder rifles in the rain.
Still too hot to be in the woods, only got one tick and no snakes!

You did real good with that BHID and got some nice finds. A few years ago I sent my DFX in for a tune up, so I tried my BHID as a back-up land machine. I was surprised how good it worked for deep coins too. The BHID is basically a dual frequency DFX without all of the bells and whistles.

BHID rocks I use mine in soccer fields and have done well with it. Good way to sharpen up your pinpointing..
R-n-R are you at your new location?

Nope Joel, Not yet wagons roll on the 24th. Only a small window of CW hunting left

R-n-R....the all metal, slight rise in threshold without the lights lighting is a definite signal of a deep target. I wrote earlier that I found several DEEP nickels on the beach with this method at at least 15-16 inches down. And that is without using the 'supertune Gobble Gobble' method of re-ground balancing. This is with the sensitivity a little past preset.

Works great.

I may have missed some good targets but I was looking for the deep ones only. Was comparing it to my trusty old 1265X. When you wind up the old 1265X the feedback nulls telling you there's something there at extream depth sometimes, I've dug NO BS prob 24 inches on a mini. (12 inch hot head loop) but I've also dug square nails too.
