Since none of my other detectors have had an IRON id display....I have noticed some kinda cool things about it.
Now...to set this up I have noticed some bad tendencies with the Eurotek on some pesky targets. The first being rusty bottlecaps...the next is certain rusty metal pieces...not including nails.
I had noticed that on rusty bottlecaps especially it would really like to lock solid on these. now I don't usually run into them but recently the cellar holes I hunt have been plagued with them due to hunters. Anyway, with the 11"DD it really made these a pain...even the edge sweep did not really give a lot of info.
Similar issue with certain rusty tin and some rusty iron. Now not a lot of rusty tin etc...just some. Would really like to lock on some of these.
What I did start to notice was that while it locked on with a pretty solid VDI...there was NO iron tone at all either. BUT....the IRON lcd would flash. Huh....do not usually stare at the screen....usually mostly go by tones. Yet I started to notice that on these pesky targets that gave absolutely no iron tone even though I run 0 disc....it would flash the IRON LCD.
Now it never does this on a good target even if it is deep or next to iron. Especially when you center the target and sweep real narrow....good targets don't make the IRON lcd flicker but...rusty beer caps and rusty tin will...even with a solid ID lock.
