Thanks for the info. It's almost amazing.

That's awesome information. What settings are you using on the T2 to get the same results using that fast sweep speed?
Thanks, Willie

That's a great vid...I've been running an F70 that fast for a few years with the 11"dd and noticed the same thing...since this is my first detector, I thought I was doing it all wrong, going too fast, but its been working fine. Other guys that have seen me hunt try to tell me to slow down, but like in your vid, depending on the circuit design, a guy can fly through a trashy area really fast and lock on targets that are missed going slow. Like you said, its site specific, but dang, nobody should be able to argue with those results you just posted. I've got this one park all to myself since its built with slag and casting sand from the old foundrys and loaded with iron, yet I can go through there like a madman and hunt it well...Nice work!

ive noticed that too on some targets seem to dissapear at slower swing speeds i think i will try that same test with myf75 ive been reading and watching his vids on another site he knows his stuff

Using the same method but in short 1 foot swings will pull good stuff from under a nail. We did allot of videos of this when the bug first came out. At that time the opinion was because of the fast speed the machine was up averaging the signal. In your tests look at the VDI on both targets say the nail is 30 and the nickel is 58 your disc is set at 33 so you fast sweep faster than the machine can separate and you get a up average of the nail to a 43 or there abouts. Either way the nickel will be skewed down nail averaged up which ever way you want to look at it. Don't take those #s for word I'm going off memory and its been 3 years since doing those tests.
Either way whatever it is Ill take it that little bit of detector magic.

Great Info, I wonder if that would work on the Omega? guess I need to find out.

Wow! very interesting and informative video.You just convinced me that slow is not always better. Now I realize how mud is a "streetsweeper" with his F70.

Yeah! toss some clad out on the ground and see how fast you can whip these things and get a good signal. Toss in a few crown caps, and multidenom spills, I find that a lower sens like half power, works very well, and you can keep the coil sort of high, 3-4" and pick up the loud coin pings...even nickels are no trouble. I just got back from working the edges of some parking lots where the snowpiles are, you know how much trash is there? grabbing coins right through it all...once you get a decent ping, you can hover the coil over it and wiggle it back and forth pretty fast to sort of zoom in on it with the sweet spot. Even with a low sens in clear ground, running moderately fast coil speed, you will get a deep ping, that you will lose if you hover and try to zero in slow, but its there when you go across it fast, ...then you can crank up the sens and its loud and clear.

I am the one who did the video...

as far as the Omega...I can get it to do it with the 5 DD but not the 5x10 DD...

But the tone break is set at 40 on the omega..

put it in one tone and it will change the outcome....

But I like 2 tones myself for better unmasking...

If the audio gate stays open it allows for a more free flow of info...

I tryed the fast sweep today for an hour or so with my Omega and the 5" DD coil, it worked pretty well and I did find some clad coins but all of the nickels I found using the fast sweep gave an ID # of 99, thats not a number I would dig most of the time but thought I might as well try it.
Its a pretty cool trick for sure but I also found that the fast sweep was giving an ID # of 85 on pull tabs, I was using the 3 tone and running the Sens. at 75 to 85 Disc at 0.

Thanks
