I have to say that the videos from "calabash" are often "eye openers" for me, and I have and do learn from them. Another really good video, thanks for taking the time and effort to share it with us. I should receive my 800 Tuesday, and am looking forward to learning it one step at a time...

My wife says I have a face made for radio. So I guess that is sort of the same thing. Now you know why I don't make videos.

I tried the same thing yesterday, a rusty square nail next to a dime, sweeping coil back and forth, hit the dime every time, but then I did a 180 degree turn and sweeping coil along the length of the nail, nothing, no sound, no dime. It seemed going along the length masked the dime completely. I will say though that I was in Park 1, which has an IB of 6, perhaps with 0 IB, going lengthwise, it may have been different. Should of did that BEFORE posting this, but right now it's 3:30 AM and well...…..

That's how the DD coils work...one way a lot of times. Shows the importance of hunting a site from different angles.

And I so agree with you, I was GOING to add that, but again, 3:30 AM etc. To newer guys, different angles, it's almost like a new piece of ground every time. Although, when I'm in a really large area, I pretty much aimlessly walk around as though I should have a note pinned to my shirt, "If found, please call --- --- ----, possible reward".

 

[Calabash Digger]

I do that sometimes but if a good find comes from doing that I start gridding. My buddy wonders but I grid …..
