Video - Would you dig this deeper signal?

[earthmansurfer]

I don't mean this personally, like "I only hunt silver" but rather, is this a coin?

Just under 5 minutes long. Watch it in fullscreen at 480 - you can do that by watching it on youtube.

Yes I would have dug that signal, I dig iffy jumpy stuff everyday I am out

Yep,thats a really good signal,listen to your tones then look at the numbers.At that depth especially.If you'd swing a little faster that tone would've sounded a little better, maybe?

I really like how you are analyzing every detail about how the Etrac works, I did the very same thing the first 6 months I had it and ended up going back to the same modes, patterns and techniques that the guys on here recommended when I started.
Best of luck,Im enjoying watching your vids.

I would definately dig that signal. With a constant high but jumpy CO number/high tone plus an FE number that dosent bounce to 30-35, I'm gonna find out what it is.

I'm glad you rescanned after digging but did you further investigate to see what may be also causing the other sounds Albert by trying to pinpoint and or digging some??

The zink pennies around here deteriorate into the soil and read all over the place co and ferrous sound good but read not so good. Maybe that coin's metal leached out into the surrounding soil some and there was some things like iron near it too..

What were your settings?? Fast? Deep? Auto+3? or Manual?

Maybe for just fun some/next time try running it in Two Tone Ferrous over one's like that and see what you get sound wise and numbers too.

No, I wouldn't have dug that. Maybe I'm missing some coins, but I get signals like that all the time and they are not uber-deep targets either. I didn't see anything consistant to it. Tone was everywhere, vdi was everywhere, just looked like a peice of junk. Of course, if those targets were turning out to be zinc coins over here, I wouldn't want to dig them either.

Thanks for the comments guys.

I almost always dig those jumpy signals, but it does depend on where I am at. There are lots of coins at my current spot, so I usually dig those jumpy ones, especially at depth. (more than half way down on the depth meter.)

Djay-Mo - It is fun learning a new detector. I like playing with the settings on deeper targets. Right now I'm mostly playing with the Deep and Recovery setting.

Tom - I edit the videos some as you can see and in the last two days (funny you mention it) am doing more with pinpoint and TTF as well. TTF really lets you know what is there. I don't dig to see what the trash items are though. I try to make the videos educational. These aren't really "finds videos" per say. I mean a lot of the deeper ones have been zinc! But it is good practice none the less and it's a bit fun. I mean it's not about the coins worth. I get a lot of fun out of finding a coin that is a bit deeper. My goal though is to dig a coin at 12". I dug a zinc at 8" today that hit really hard. Would have picked it up much deeper. Perhaps you are right, they just degrade into the ground and that is why they jump so much. But, as you said, I would need to investigate the ground further. My sensitivity is mostly at 30 and when in auto (not often) it goes up to 27 - 29 quite often and I run it at +3. I can miss deeper coins when in auto - I've confirmed that too much, not even close - but this is in my ground. My settings were probably deep off, fast on, high trash on (always) and ground difficult. I'm settling in on these settings but always playing with them. especially fast on and off as the off choice sounds so much better and I have one dug one target where off it came in worse!

Jason - Yeah, I hear you. As I said, I'm just digging the zincs to learn and it is fun to see how deep I can dig something. There aren't loads of zincs here though and they are 10 cent zincs, so not so bad.

Thanks guys,
Albert
