ground probe

My soil is full of ore; vdi @ -94 and I use 5khzbp filter as mineralization is just under 10%

When I check the % of signal with ground probe, if I move the coil to the ground, noise jumps up to 200% +/-, and if I leave the coil still on the ground, will settle down from there. 30-50% noise.

6/55/80 as far as sensitivity.

How can I use ground probe to tell if I am getting max depth w/o 'highbeams in fog' issue from too much sensitivity?
Meaning; what numbers should I be looking for afa signal/noise?

wondering if I have a bad coil; it did pass rx15 test last time checked.
I just can't seem to get any depth in this iron ore ladden soil...
 
The Ground Probe
This is just another tool available to help you set up your detector. Many people don
 
yes; that which you sdescribe comes from live controls, ground tracking highlighted, press zoom.

Great info Rob.... You Da Man.......:beers:
 
Thanks for taking the time to share your knowledge
 
Thanks for the thoughtful response; much clearer.


The bold points are key.

I had tried some of the solutions, and you offer some good things to try.
Now with a geater understanding I will be a little more deliberate.

Really tough soil here; recently went to southern part of the state the other week where it was all sandy loam and it was like having a different machine.
So I am hoping to get it to work 'better' here somehow.
 
You can also try correlate which will help with iron and EMI.
 
thanks for the links; I have seen them too!

when I first got the machine last year I read every forum-- front to back.


Getting out tomorrow; I will post back any performance gains.
