We talk a lot how the PP trace feature can give you extreme/max depth (it does),
and also to help with the ever present problems caused by hunting coins in 'rusty square nail' iron-land (again, it does).
Here's another inherent advantage...hunting in dense modern (spelled aluminum) trash.
Sunday night, I was at a heavily hunted public area to gather some quick info for an upcoming hunt with my hunting buddy, CZconnoisseur.
The area in question (like most public spots) has been heavily hunted by literally hundreds, if not thousands of detectors over the decades.
I focused on a small one foot by two foot trashy area, and immediately got far too many signals to separate...NONE REALLY GOOD...however normal Target Trace had flashed a decent low conductor number 12-28 ish.
I figured I'd switch to PP Trace and see how the 'sound, size, and shape' of the audio in AM non-motion sounded. (If good on all three, I'd typically hope for gold, and dig.)
Note; that (as we've mentioned before) when surrounded by trash, the non-motion aspect of PP really helps isolate the various signals in thick trash.
While clearing up the signal in PP, the screen was painting multiple targets...probably about 7 or so...when I noticed that if I moved ever so slightly to the right, I painted the prettiest 12-45 ish blob.
So, of course, the heck with the probable square tab signal...I centered over the 12-45...but was disappointed to see the depth reading lock on at 4".
Thinking, "oh well, free money...easy diggin'...I'll guess a clad dime."
Well, I was a little off this time....dug this instead...at exactly 4 inches:
And before the pics, let me emphasize again that this area has had more good detectorists/detectors over it than you can imagine. The busy spot was right out in the open, not hidden or out of the way.
It's simply been missed by everyone.
Enjoy,
mike
