Thanks Elton for the large list.

I did these tests this evening for the CZ forum, then saw the post here. F75LTD, BP mode, 0 disc, 10 sens, inside house, air tests at about 4 to 5 inches from coil. The rings are not dug. They are wife's 14K engagement and wedding rings. The tab and nickle numbers are consistent with dug target numbers up to 6 inch range, then they start to jump some.
Cheers,
tvr

I made the mastake of looling at my VDI to tell me to dig or not to dig. I found that relics are all over the VDI range as all of you know. So I went to an old area from 1840 and dug any good or semi good tone and even broken tones. If I dig like that by the end of the day I am wasted for sure. But I have a friend with a CZ3 that will dig a pound or more of trash and sometimes he will kill me in finds. So at this 1840s area I dug it all and dug and dug. The finds were great the history the age of the relics were great. I have learned that if you are relic hunting you have to dig it all no matter what. Yeah you will need a few days to get you back in shape and your legs will do about 500 bends but it is like sex you can just think about the fun you had the history you found and look at the finds in your case on the wall.

I don't worry about VDI anymore the LTD has independent VDI and tones so they won't always match.
