O.K...so first off as I post this the video is still uploading and then has to be formatted. So if it does not display immediately give it 45 minutes from the time of this post.
Now I was only able to detect for 60 minutes at most before it started to pour like crazy....got completely soaked huffing it back to the jeep. Also this is straight out of the box...I did not get to read the manual much so it is assemble and go as I tried to beat out the weather.
One thing I had to quickly get used to was the new mid tone...it is close to or similar to some machines iron tone so a few times I thought I was getting a high coin and a low iron tone when it was just bouncing between high coin and mid tone.
Detector was rock solid stable with the 11" DD. Handled my mineralized soil real well...better than some higher end GB machines oddly enough. Ground was damp from the rain and almost no falsing which I get on some other machines in this area due to soil conditions...then again it is not as sensitive too.
Easily as deep as an Omega.....and more stable.....actually I like it a lot better than the Omega on this first run.
I was not able to video any iron separation as the rain ended that plus...farm fields are not so densely packed with iron that target separation is as big of a deal as it is in a cellar hole.
However the field has a lot of iron nails etc in it and I was not having to keep backing up and rescanning like I would with the Omega or T2 when you catch iron off the side of the coil. Sometimes I just don't want that hot of a machine...but also I still want decent depth and this had it.
Now last target dug was a musketball...one of the American caliber ones..not the monster Brown Bess size. What are the American calibers..in .50 range somewhere. Anyway it was down 7" and I got a solid response and could have hit it atleast an inch deeper. Now that may not seem impressive but here in Maine along the seacoast...digging this caliber musketball at 8" is not as easy for many detectors....and beyond 9" forget it even if it was a Brown bess monster ball. Not sure why that is but it is...they are a bugger beyond 7" or so...usually they are a flunky signal especially beyond 8" even with a T2 or F75....and again this smaller size ball is hard to hit here beyond 8". I definitely would have detected it at 8"
Also I like that the detector just seemed to nail targets on the first swing. Very little to no edge falsing on iron..which constantly has me doubling aback and re sweeping something caught off the edge that will false high.
I will be out again tomorrow and will do another...hopefully have a better variety of stuff at depths so I can shoose some variety of targets to show.....whereas this was all I dug outside of one last small buckle in the pouring rain that I did not video..due to the rain.
