Have to dig a few of those funky signals

I was hunting one of our oldest city parks yesterday and ran into a couple of other swingers. Each, with the very top of the line detectors of their respective brands. We didn't compare all that many signals, as we had spread out and doing our own thing. This particular park has been hunted hard since the 60's and anything old is either really deep or badly masked. Anyway, at one point I got a 2 tone, broken, kind of signal, that I decided to dig. As much as anything, because I didn't want to get beat out by either of the other two guys. One had already found a Merc. dime. The target was showing 13-14" on the depth meter and I decided to call the other guys over and see what they thought. One couldn't get a tic at all and the other said he got a faint tic, but probably would have missed it if he hadn't know the spot. I dug the target and from a good 10," recovered a 1887 IH cent. I wasn't paying all that much attention to the vid, but in 4h tones was hearing the middle and 3rd tone in the form of tic's. I had the 11"dd coil on and was in the bp mode, disc. 0, sen. 87 and 4h tones. We each ended up with a silver dime apiece, 2 Mercs. and a Barber, and the IH cent, plus some clad. It was kind of ironic, as the guy that couldn't get a peep had just recently sold a F 75 LTD because he felt it wasn't as deep as the detector he had. He was not a happy camper, to mildly state his feelings. HH jim tn
 
hi jim!..did ya try to check the signal out in de mode for the heck of it?..just curious!

Well done Jim. You do have the knack with the F75 LTD.

I don't know if you do videos, but I would love to hear what you call an iffy signal with the F75 LTD. Or any of you other LTD users. Even if its on a marginal coin in a test garden. Relatively speaking, just not as many videos on the F75 LTD out there as there are for some of the other top end machines. I know I should make one myself, but I don't have a decent video camera at this point.
 
ok!..jim!..just wondering if the de mode would have "caught" it!..thanks!

Nice finds Jim :thumbup:

Some of those iffy funky signals have been my best finds on the LTD.

If I'm at an old area where trash is sparse, I'll dig all the iffy/funky non-iron signals, but it's a challenge if your at an old park with lots of modern trash.

HH,

Jim good job . All though curiosity killed the cat i like the fact that you did not have to stick it to the other models
to make your point.
Question was sen at 87 on the edge of stability or could you have raised it higher.
and how broken was your signal , was it weak and broken or a little better Thank Mike
 
Mike, it was still stable and could have run sen. higher. At a sen. setting of 88 is when I began to hear a slight (inturnal) hum. No biggie, but I hear it and know its there.

The signal was faint, but repeatable from some angles and not from others. It was one of those signals, Mike, that if you pass it up you will kicking yourself all the way home for not digging it and upon digging it, not being surprised at the target being some sort of trash. HH jim tn
