Starting to come together

Hunted a house from the early 40's today Pinpointing is getting better and learning sounds also. What I am having a issue with is that I am getting a beep and then is nulls out. Sometimes it had a high number like a 38 or 39. Is this typically trash? Don't understand why it nulls out on such a high number. It is not repeatable. What do you all do when this happens?
Only hunted about a 4th of the yard. Picked up 5 wheat backs on 64 Rosie. One WA. State tax token and another token that had been cut in half by a lawn mower. All in all a good day.

Me thinks it is nulling on a high number because it is either can slaw or iron trash. Are you using conductive tones?

When in doubt, Dig.
That's how you learn what your machine is telling you.

No S.S. I am using Relic and ferrous. And I have been digging them on and off. At least the high numbers. Seems like mostly trash. Ready to get out again but work is getting in the way again. But the good news is that 60 degree temps have arrived. Perfect temps for detecting.

 

[Surfinsafari]

Are you overloading the machine on big iron? Gosh its been such a long winter I feel like I will need to learn my machines all over again! I crosssaved conductive tone to relic mode, try that.

When this happens, I will go to A.M. to see what tones I am getting. If your using a big coil, you could be just picking up multiple targets. If 38-39 is consistently coming up, it'll probably be either a dime or maybe a Quarter on end/angled but also nulling on trash that is close by or that's covering it and wanting to mask the coin. The only sure way is to dig it like KinTN advised. When you have any discrimination in play, it will obviously null and if your swinging the coil too fast, the time that it needs to revert to detecting again might make you get mixed signals and also miss targets. Do you have it set on LOW density or HIGH density? I always have mine set on high even though I usually swing slow.......I don't want to miss anything! If you can, get a 6'' small Excellerator coil if you don't have one already, it will pick out and separate those targets you might have difficulty with i.d-ing.I hope this helps a little.

Yep just recently bought the 8 x 6 coil and I love it. Most of the time it has just been one target. Usually a rusted nail. The numbers do jump around. Set on high density for now and I am definitely low and slow. I will just keep digging them to see if anything different comes up, until I am a 100% sure!!!!!!! If that ever happens. The fever has definitely it me again after some layoff time

No 38/39 is never trash always silver or clad

No 38/39 is never trash always silver or clad

I think that's true on a strong/solid signal, but if it wavers or is the slightest bit iffy, a 38/39 can be a rust halo ime. But yeah, most all of the time 38/39 is happy dance time.

I have had that happen numerous times and it always seemed to be 38! There I am chasing it to please come back but it wont. I think its the machine hitting iron on edge of detecting field weather it be edge of coil or depth machine picks it up as real conductive then does its thing and realizes its a discrimed target. Im not very technical but basically machines processor has blip and takes a second to catch up and read it correctly. If in doubt try to pin point it. Most of the time where you heard the beep will not be any where you end up in pin point. Sorry to the tech guys in advance im not genius just lot of hours on this unit and this is my expierence.
