I was out to the beach today and was trying to get the hang of the rev disc thing. Every thing I've read and all the videos I've watched say that if a target still sounds off in rev disc that it is likely iron. I found the opposite to be true at my beach. I hunted for about 4 hours today and when I hit a target I would put the finny into rev disc. Here is what I found out after many many targets dug:
1. Bobby pins disappear in reverse disc. I tested this so often that my back hurts from digging.
2. Dimes changed from a low/high signal to a high/low in rev disc
3. Quarters stayed low/high in rev disc
4. Pull tabs all but disappeared in rev disc (unless real close to the surface)
5. Steel bottle caps did not disappear but the signal got real choppy and more quiet
6. Nickles still produced a signal but it was much weaker
7. I buried my wedding band in wet sand around 5" deep and the signal hit hard high/low in regular and rev disc
8. Rusty nails and screws hit high/low in both modes.
9. small steel like staples disappeared in rev disc.
Now all of this seems to fly in the face of all the info I've gathered on the Infinium and while I don't understand why, I like it, I like it a lot
I'm confident that I can go out, find a target, put it in rev disc and if the signal goes away that I don't need to dig. Has anyone found their Infinium to do this as well? again, today I dug everything regardless of tone in rev disc just to see what it really does. As a side note; I followed in the tracks of a guy using a Minelab Excalibur and took 2 dimes a nickel and 2 pennies right off his foot prints
