Is this machines strength for fresh drops...you can quick broom a soccer field, fairground, beach, sledding hill, right after everyone leaves and really cover some real estate and stack up the finds. Or you can set it up right and look for deeper older targets too, just whatever the situation demands. You gotta get used to the tones though, like 3H, 4H, or DP. It doesn't take too long learning the tones of both trash and good targets, since you can get more hits moving quick with this unit, you will not find yourself looking at the TID much, which allows you to look downrange more for eyefinds, and signs of human activity. Tight coin spills and stacks are all over the place on the TID, but the tone will allow you to recognize something in that mess that will help you pick it apart, Strength of tone will tell you how deep it is. There is a certain speed this thing likes, too fast and you'll miss, too slow, and you wont get there, seems like sweep speed is area specific as well, chip totlots its a little slower than a wide sand beach, practice in the real world is the best, as well as coming up with a very quick target retrieval method to maximize the strengths of your machine..
