Since I am new with the sov I see it gives some signal sounds that are very different then any other detector I used. ( I suspect my new gt sov is like most other sovs in a lot of respects)
There is a very big difference in signal sound from a item real close or on the suface with the coil very close to it then with the coil raised just a little to get away from the being real close to it.
So far for me the nickel and pull tab tones are different then the coin tones , but the coin tones most all sound the same except the nickel. I guess that is normal. So far also the range of tones for most stuff I scan over seems not to large. I expected to have a zilophone affect but it does not happen , ( I'm glad ).
A big probably alumiminun bottle cap sound like coins but still trying to find a way to recognize them by size etc. Is this big sounding target that seems to get a lot smaller sounding when just raised away from it the usual thing to expect. also the tones tougher to recognise when real close as I mention. A little easier when farther away.
Any ideas? ( About helping to tell size differences or something to listen for , swing, or height of coil or settings)
The gt sov can pick out some real small stuff with that 10 inch coil. With the unit set at the very lowest sensitivity setting I have found a few coins at around 5 inches also found a nickel with the lower conductivity pull tabs notched out. I have two types of pull tabs one has a higher conductivity then the other. When I notch out the higher pulltab I can detect the lower one along with nickels. When I notch out the lower one I can still detect the higher one and get nickels as mentioned.No questions on the notch , it is sensitive on needing small tweak adjustments for different stuff.
That auto gb in all metal sure tells you when the ground is mineralized. I can raise and bob the coil and get a reduced threshold response to almost nothing after bobbing a few times. then I set it to fix and lock it. It definitely gets more depth then the discriminate mode. I did on a buried coin I buried and tried in the place I was testing the auto ground balance.
