OK. With about 7 months of reading on this forum and close now to 200 hours in 3 months on this machine, I've made some incredible finds (at least for me). Location is what probably got me 90% of these coins. The E-Trac is doing its job and I'm learning.
My test garden as been in about 2 months now. I don't have anything too fancy yet, just a silver Merc at 7 in, a wheat and an IH at about 6. I've read and read where guys use a slow sweep speed. I've heard different numbers like 4 seconds and 8 seconds.
My personal is 2 seconds on fairly clean ground and 4 on trashy ( a lot of nulling) per 1 way sweep.
The reason I'm asking is, if I go over the IH with an 6-8 second sweep it will not pick it up. I speed up and it talks to me.
What are you guys' experience with this?
I have done that minelab "wiggle" and it has produced....but that very slow sweep speed (like I read some guys talking about on the Explorer forum) just won't pick the IH up. Any thoughts???
Thanks,
NebTrac
