PI and cache hunting

[Anonymous]

I'm about had it up to hear with present VLF detectors and the all metal modes they possess. Even in low mineralization they are just too erratic. I get a signal and saturates the unit. I lift up the coil and the signal stays uotil I reset it. This I'm refering to a unit that has a true all metal non motion mode. Yes you can hover it indefinately above the target. I love that feature but it just does not behave. Maybe I don't understand the unit. But what I do know is that when I owned the Barracuda it never lied. When it said there is a whisper down there.....there was. I'm open to the possibilities of PI and cache hunting. My dealer can have any machine in the world to cache hunt. He prefers the SD2200 and now the Extreme with the 18" loop.
Ok fellas and any gals out there, lets here your wisdom. Here's what I know to date: #1)I've never tried PI on the dry soil with the idea of looking for non coin objects. #2.) With cache hunting you dig everything using the deepest mode.
With the VLF that would be a Non motion all metal mode. #3 Use the largest coil the manufacture sells. OK Your turn.

John,
The "SD" is a good choice. The "Extreme" I haven

Hi John,
PI's have been used successfully for cache hunting many times over the years. One recent example, using a Deepstar, was the finding of a cache of 13th century coins on a British beach. It was possibly a land cache that ended up on the beach as a result of coastal erosion over the years. Over 300 silver coins have been recovered so far. Story in the UK Treasure Hunting magazine and I can send you a copy if you wish. An optional 15in coil is available for the Deepstar which gives even more depth. The finder of the coin cache bought one and recovered many coins that were out of range of even the 11in coil. Several caches of Roman coins have been found on land sites with my PI's.
