:laughing:Alright more test.
Interesting results too.
It's 5:30 AM when I did I in the dark, rain moving in.
Deep nickel test like 11" deep.
Park 1 notta -- can't find a set of setting to hit.
Park 2 - great signal speed setting 4 iron bias 0 gives grand signal, probably gives best signal on this nickel any detector I have run.
Field 1 hits slightly but I need a super fast coil sweep.
Field 2 hits nickel but is giving iron tone.
Park 2 I also checked using single freq ops.
5khz notta (as to be expected)
10khz - a bump of audio
15khz - good signal
20khZ- good signal
40-khz good signal.
But multi freq had strongest signal vs any single frequency ops.
Ground balance
Notice park 2 default setting is O.
I checked this nickel using 0 GB setting, nickel signal,warbly sounding, tad weaker vs gB set to actual ground (34 in window)
I even checked nickel sweeping, and incrementally raising GB. I could here a linear signal improvement as I got nearer to actual ground GB setting.
Tracking GB
Some on other forums are asking questions about it.
They should find and read this.
Question, can a person turn on detector and NOT GB and turn on tracking and hunt?
Sure
But based on what I saw this morning it could cost a person a find or 2 depending.
Why?
When I do actual pumping GB the number 34 pops in meter using Park 2.
So I dialed GB to zero setting turned on tracking and sweep continuously the nickel. After 60 seconds of sweeping I checked number in window with GB selected,,number in window still low, had climbed some, was at 18.
So redialed GB back to 0 and repeated, except swept deep nickel for 90 seconds. This this time Equinox was very close when I peeked in window looking at GB number.
So, park 2, why does it strike this nickel so good and the others detect modes seems don't.
Don't know exactly, but love what I see.
Remember my soil is medium mineralized.
Also don't forget what I stated earlier about GB numbers when Equinox is balanced yield different numbers in meter depending on detect mode used.
Need to check a deep higher conductive coin and see what happens using the different detect modes. I will.
