Hunting an athletic complex after a trip to the dentist. Feeling off and a bit sick from anesthetic and half my face being numb, I was in no mood to jack off on questionable signals at all. The criteria was it must show a clean 3 frequency polar plot hit, any textbook coin type signal. Frequency dominance not so critical...just hit on all three well enough to plot cleanly.
Running a correlate program span of 8.
Been plucking quarters and dimes with the 8x6sef mounted. Leaving the copper and zinc for another day.
Hunting near the trash barrel at the parking lot curb (on the way back to the truck) I hit a solid tone VDI 48 with nice single bar (resolution 1) alignment on the spectragraph but the 2.5 bar was slightly offset. Polar plot says 7.5 freq. dominate followed by 22.5 and a very small but visible 2.5.
No coins hit like that at VDI48. Ring pulls and square tabs never hit on 2.5 very well so ruled them out. To low VDI for a typical screw cap and 2.5 not hitting hard enough rules that out. Pinpointing size and shape checks small and round. I knew it was going to be jewelry (been digging lots of junk jewelry at this spot) but wasn't expecting gold. 3 inches deep arms distance from the curb.
Guess how much trash I dug? 3 screw caps. That's it. 16 coins, 3 screw caps, a gold ring and done. About a 90 minute hunt.
Love my WifeV3i!
