This house had power lines on 3 sides of the house, power to the house from a transformer, 10-2 wire strung across the yard to the garage, 10-2 wire from the garage to a second building on and in the ground, lots of pulltabs, small iron everywhere and the house had been hunted heavily before. I was using the Smart Plus Pro and started out normally and realized within a few minutes that this would not work.
I changed my settings and did fairly well under the circumstances.
1: Iron Volume Off
2: Sensitivity way down to 20
3: Volume down
4: With the sens. down, I listened for the lower, high tones with good clean definition both ways. If the audio was loud, I dismissed it. If it sounded good but it was lacking definition one way, I let it go. There was no other way to hunt this ground.
BTW, the lower the sensitivity on a Deeptech Vista detector, the more telling the audio is. Vistas are deep machines and pushing the sensitivity is not necessary in most situations, your can saturate the target and it can distort the return audio to a degree.
