Yea I don't believe it either. Let me start from the beginning:
So it is Friday 5pm and I get out of work and go to my parents house. i had the Impact shipped there so I could take my dad and go to the nearest park. When i arrived, he already had it assembled with the small coil attached.
The Park is from the late 1700's but, it has been filled, flooded, picked clean, flooded, filled, and picked clean. Modern coins are hard to come by.
I set the Impact up on GEN(D) with a gain of 92. I really feel the GEN(D) is the key to this machines uniqueness. i dug a few pieces of aluminum and proceeded to an area near the pond.
At the pond, I switched to Di3 and the story of my third target, is listed below.
my fourth target, I got a signal which i checked on with a few different modes:
TID:
Di3 87-92
Di2 85-94
Di99 84-92
GEN(D) Iron tone no mistake
I dug the target and at 5 inches, it was a rusted bottle cap.
Next target, a high tone 66-73 another bottle cap at 6 inches.
I get a high tone with a TID ranging from 84-96 with a depth reading at 11 inches. It turned out to be a decayed aluminum beer can top from the 1970's
The last target was a solid 29 in all discrimination modes and a 53-55 in GEN(D). Turned out to be a 3 inches deep pristine-ish nickel...from 1948
I can't figure out how this nickel was so new looking.
The third target was a 74-77 in Di3. Thinking it was a penny, I dug it. Only to recover two silver rings in the same hole! My father saw me and came over after i gave him the thumbs up. I told him the TID and he said, "Why did you dig it?" I said, "It was the highest TID so far and it sounded good".
Rings cleaned:
Not cleaned yet
Deep can lid:
dug stuff(nickel not in picture)
My summation and first impression of the Impact:
TID was in the ball park
depth was impressive
Tonal quality was identifiable
pin-pointing was accurate
Will there be downsides to this machine? You bet and when i find them, I will post them.
This machine's versatility, unusual modes, and performance puts this machine in a class of it's own. Even without the rings, I would of been pleased.
