G'day all.
I was back at the mosquito park today, found a couple of coins before the failing light and mosquitoes forced me to retreat to the car. However while I was in the park I had a play with the discrimination setting on the ACE 350, I put it in coin mode, had three bars on the sensitivity and locked out all but the last four bars of display.
I found a few coins that read from 2"-4" deep and they were all about 2" but I had a lot of deep target's I dug down to about 10" but could not find anything. This park is sodden, it was swamp that was used as a tip (rubbish dump) then the rubbish was flattened, covered with clay and sand then soil and finally grass. Would really deep targets be registering on the ACE with the settings I was using? I turned the sensitively down but I was still hitting these targets and in pinpoint mode they seemed rather large, more solid than a coin spill.
I will go back here again as it seems to be untouched by others with a detector and now that I am starting to use discrimination to filter out the trash I don't dig as many rubbish targets. On my walk back to the car I set the ACE for jewellery mode but I am yet to find anything other than pull tabs.
Thoughts?
