Got the Deus Smoki'n Now!
I called XP and talked to a tech,about my V3.1 program. He gave me some tips on how to improve my performance!
First don't use the NORM ID feature. I thought that it would keep the TID numbers all the same in every program (the manual isn't very clear about this feature?) It has to be entered into each program you are using,factory,or custom. It also makes the TID read like you are running at the program 18kHz (the gold program) The TID numbers are so close together it really makes separating them by sound hard, A nickel rings up at 61,a dime at 91,and a quarter at 91-2. A simple solution is to run at 12kHz,in your moneyshooting programs,and the readings are,nickel 55,dime 88,and quarter 92! A copper penny (pre1983) will ring up at 88,same as a clad dime,but a zinclon will ring up at 87-6. Also never run the DISC above 10! This is about as high as you want it,without a loss to depth,and performance. You can notch out anything you want with NO loss of performance!
I've noticed a bottle cap rings in at 92,the same as a quarter,but if you wiggle your coil and pull it backwards,when the signal quits on a bottle cap it has a "crackling sound" and the TID number falls off. On a quarter the numbers stay the same,and there is no crackling sound as the signal breaks off!
Went out today and hunted for two hours before it got hot. I hit coin after coin,anywhere from 2 inches to 9 inches depth,and the best thing was I didn't dig any bottle caps.
Just one tiny piece of foil that gave out a dime/penny reading! This detector is "Smoki'n"!
