I'm looking for somebody who has some serious time on the 3030 to help me learn the nuances of hunting in iron. I have been detecting for over 10 years but have only had the 3030 for about 9 months (Etrac for 3 years before that) so I'm not new to the hobby at all, but I just haven't had that "a-ha" moment with my 3030 that i had a few good times with my Etrac that really taught me something new. I KNOW for sure that I'm not using it to its full potential because I'm mostly just digging good, solid signals. When I finally get motivated enough to dig what I call "iffy" signals, they almost always end up being junky iron so I get frustrated and just go back to listening for good, solid signals. I KNOW for sure that I'm passing good targets up because I don't know how to use the target trace to its full potential.
I'm hoping to find somebody near the eastern panhandle of WV to hunt some iron for high conductors with to see what you look for with iffy targets. I have watched countless videos on the subject multiple times, but every time somebody talks about digging "iffy" signals with the 3030, their version of "iffy" seems to me to be "a damn good sounding tone with a slight crack to it and you'd have to be stupid not to dig it". It's just something I want to see in person.
Inevitably, somebody will tell me to go watch Sube's videos. Been there, done that a BUNCH. I want to take a look at some of this in person with somebody who really knows the machine.
