Finally got to take the X out yesterday for 2hrs to old park (200+yrs) There’s a specific area w a lot of big nails and other iron I’ve found a lot of relics and coins. Very difficult to find anything good anymore, at this point this specific area I’m digging everything that sounds good, even big iron. Again being the first time out, I spent more time examining audio that actual digging. I do find the audio on this machine very unique and informative. I understand now why Keith is so crazy about the X. Though I didn’t find any keepers I did find several very small non-fe targets among the iron.
When you get the machine, you receive w a USB plug in w instructions, all videos including Keith’s. Also, included is Sven’s coin/jewelry disc settings, which I used yesterday.
#1 half of a child’s zipper handle w silk ribbon attached @ 5” w a rusty screw and 2.5” nail.
#2 a tiny piece of lead (size of the top of pencil eraser) @ 4” in hole w 2” nail
This audio of a non-fe among fe is very distinctive, it’s a blending or as Keith say “blendy” mixed low/high tone.
The machine really hits HARD on small targets. Not used to audio depth yet but had one really hard hit, still cut a 6” deep sqaure plug w my shovel. It was a beaver tail on edge on the side of the bottom of the plug.
Also, I have to say, I had dug 2 holes both 12-14” deep, both w good repeatable signals. I had to bail on both unfortunately, as I was gaining a audience. (be back later...)
I was running the GAIN @ 45, the preset marker w no EMI interference.
I have a feeling this machine w have no problem hitting a dime @ 10”
I really like the build of this machine, very light and the carbon fiber w locking clamps is really nice. I’m still getting used to holding the switch forward while swinging in the heavy iron areas. This sqaure coil really seems pinpoint exceptionally good.
I’ll be taking the X and the EQX to a really old farm site Saturday, tons on iron. The good stuff dried up there years ago, I’ll make sure to bring deep digging shovel there...
