You Can Tell

[herbajones]

You can tell what the weather is by the lack of find posts on here...It was supposed to start raining here in Ft Worth yesterday but mother nature postponed it till today. Even so I decided to go out yesterday for an hour. I decided to try the old coins pattern on page 113 of Andy Sabisch's book which is a very heavy discriminating pattern which leans heavy to silver. Not many signals at all but when I did get one it was a silver dime. a Merc and two Roosies. When I got home I put a silver half and then a silver quarter under the coil and they barely sounded off so I guess the pattern wasn't exactly perfect. Can anyone comment on this pattern.

With a pattern like that you are severely limiting the capability of your machine.

Herb----You got your pattern WAY too closed in.-----Go to quick mask and run that half & quarter under your coil noting where they hit on the screen and you'll see what I mean.---I don't like ANY kind of tight patterns--far too many variables & if you are serious about deep coins (or shallow coins), those tight patterns WILL cost you targets, plain & simple.------Think Andy meant that pattern for use as a quick "cherry picking" pattern when time is limited.-----At 72 years of age, I got all the time in the world!----I want to hear (almost) everything under my coil. -----------Del

i understand your thoughts were you working in a heavy iron infested area you could have opened your screen up gone to 2tf using auto sensitivity and block out most of line 1 using the smallest block in your edit block 1.1 to 1.36 and 1.49 and 1.50 this is because the iron has been found to wrap around and false into the 1 line giving off a high bleep in this mode you can hunt and dig all the two way high sounds if you only want silver study the id numbers you can find on any of the id charts on the forum take a mental note of them and ignore everything else this is something i wouldnt do personally but everyone has their own idea of what they want from a hunt oh and if you are after silver make sure your ground is set at difflcult as in normal large silver has been seen not to sound off WHOOPS
