Targets were few and far between, but dug these yesterday using the XP Deus HF Round coil in an area that I had hunted a few years ago with the LF Coil. I went over this area twice, the first time using a 3 Tone program with Reactivity 4 (Frequency 26kHz) and the second time using the Pitch program with Reactivity 3 (Frequency 26 kHz). Dug the small buttons and the Rev War SC 3rd Regiment with the 3 Tone program. It was only about 4" deep and very faint signal in heavy iron- VDI was showing around a 45. The SC 3rd button is in bad shape, but there is a faint raised "3" in the middle. I actually dug one in much better shape a couple of years ago. The Connecticut Copper I dug using the Pitch program. It was a very iffy signal and only rang up 87 at about 7" or 8" deep. VDI was very low for deep copper, but it was in heavy iron so all bets are off with conductivity- just dig it all. I'm still trying to find out what variety of Connecticut Copper this is? Not many of these are dug in Savannah.
