Another Impact hunt.
Smallest coil used exclusively.
Only 2 coins found here previously by myself. (Private site)
Silver GW quarter and a buffalo nickle.
Folks I have pounded this site to high heavens using some very notable detectors,,stock and small coils.
This is first time Impact has been on this site today.
It is a bear,,,loads of iron and nails,,some modern trash.
My goal,,to see if I could take Impact and find just one coin,,,if I could would be tremendous for this site.
I only dug what I thought based on audio and vdi reporting,,what I thought were heavily challenged targets.
The Impact wearing smallest coil is the most intuitive metal detector Inhave ever run,,,period.
For whatever reason(s) this detector talks to me in ways I have never heard before.
The way the meter works,,tones,,and iron volume tones, overload tone,I can easily pick out challenged targets,,,targets that are being tremendously masked by ferrous materials,,even some targets being mask by nonferrous materials.
How polluted is this site,,,many times I could 't even lay my Garrett propointer down without it sounding off on whatever was in the ground.
Depths of the 2 coins,,wheat about 4" deep,,and the vnickel maybe 3" tops.
Folks there is a well here,,and a road where landowner drives back to the back part of his farm. Old house is gone. Can see it footprint by the footers that are flush with the ground.
If I knew how many times all these finds have been swung over by me,,I would puke.
So much for sink rates!!
This may sound strange to folks here by saying,,Impact will even find junk targets some other detectors won't alert on.
I think the bigger find is part of a lantern.
A stainless steel nut.
And a few other odds and ends.
DI99 mode,,99 gain,disc level 1, 20khz, used today.
I should also say,,first hunt in a while using Impact,,,been spending quite a bit of time with Deus V4. One of the reasons for my comments about the total language package this detector gives me wearing smallest coil.
