I have about 50 hrs on my 3030 so far and I have a question. I've only used it on the beach and have read and have been told by other 3030 users that certain targets hit at certain numbers and its dead on. Example : a zincoln hits at 12.37 to 12.39 and a quarter hits at 12.44- 12.45.... I'll use those two for examples with my issue.
Sometimes I'll get a solid target and it'll be 11 something or even up to 13 something. It's a solid tone so I dig it. It'll be a penny. WTH? Sometimes I'll get something in the 16's but I'll dig it and its a quarter. I've had 2 quarters nearly side by side with very different numbers. Am I wrong to assume that coins and most all targets are predictable w/their numbers? I'm still figuring out tones to go w/those numbers but for my machine there's no science (that I've figured out in knowing what it is before you pull based on the #'s).. Can it be a setting issue? I'm digging a lot of 12+ inch deep targets. I'm just wondering as to why the variety of numbers with the same type of target.
I run Auto +2 (usually), beach mode, low trash, salt water, deep recovery.
