First hunt with Red Racer

[Terry in PA]

ok guys had the red racer out for a test spin today along the old PA canal. Lots of iron chatter but managed to pull out a few keepers. Got 2 pewter buttons with I hooks on back a pewter spoon a wedding band and a rivet from horse tack and a belt buckle. What I did find was bigger Iron that was deeper always gave a good tone with good ID's of 83-84 most of the time saying it was a inch or so deep. Upon digging I'd find myself digging a deep hole only to find iron. Is there a setting to better identify this deeper iron ? Was using 2 tone mode gain 70 and filter at 10.

Hi Terry, If you get a big hit and think it is big iron, start raising the coil up and if it still shows on top or not very deep then it is iron. A coin will start to loose depth and vdi.

I use pinpoint to try get an idea of target size , i think deep iron will always be a bug bear with the Red Racer. I had a solid 82 hit today , dug down 10 inches nothing there , hmm deep iron i thought but upon digging down another 2 inches out came a door knob! I think deep iron is some thing racer users will have to grin and bear it..
