Went to a relatively new park the other day that obviously had some fill added to level it out. The worst soil I've ever put my CTX coil over. Not much in the way of EMI, but holy crap the ground was bad. No way I was going to be running in Manual above 14-15 without the falsing. Auto +3 would give me roughly 16-18 with the suggested being only 6-8. Dang!
Note worthy enough to mention is that I was impressed that the CTX still found a modern Jefferson nickle at 5" loud and clear in both High Trash mode as well as Ferrous Coin mode. (I have identical programs to toggle between to compare). The numbers were slightly off reading 11-19..12-18, an no other metal found in the area. I didn't think to switch over to Ground Coin until after I had dug it. That would have been some good info to compare with. Heck, I should have probably ran in Ground Coin in the first place, duh!
Oh and I did ground balance to see if I could get higher Manual settings, but no change.
