Rare dig with full vids... Worth watching!

The info you guys are providing in this thread about deep targets would make a great sticky in the Minelab forum. It'd be good to hear Angel's take on it too.

I have been just hunting the coin program, +3, auto sens, and deep off, deep fast off...

Work with manual sensitivity, and turn 'Recovery Deep' to on. I have performed plenty of tests on deep targets before digging them, and using Auto Sensitivity +3 did not provide the signal and tone strength I wanted, whereas on manual sensitivity - set at 28 or 29 - the deep targets, 8+ inches, where much easier to discern. I do use Auto Sensitivity when working highly trashy areas, since for me depth is not the main concern there.

Sick find Beefcake. Just amazing! I can not even imagine maknig finds like that!

I very much want to upgrade to the Etrac but I really find conversations like the one above intimidating. What I like so much about the Sov is that the only adjustment I ever make is to sensitivity.

So I'm not the only one lol Good incentive to learn - to speak a new language

I have a good book on the workings and custom programs for my XLT but haven't read a whole lot yet. It's amazing, the technology of metal detectors!

It's really not that intimidating. These are questions that start to pop up when you start to get a little more comfortable with the machine. Honestly, you can find really great coins without making any adjustments at all... I haven't tweeked mine other than using the coins program and I've found 21 silver coins with it in 2 months. I came from whites, so the language is different, but now the white's language is almost foreign to me... I don't regret taking the chance at all. I had the same questions once I got comfortable with the DFX too... you just want to get the maximum capability out of the machine...but first you have to get good with the signals.

sweet! what a great hunt and i got a chuckle watching you guys! thumbsup01

Yeah... it was pretty funny... A morgan dollar sure can pull the rug out from under an indian find that's for sure! He's fun to hunt with. We work well together as a researching team. A couple months ago, I kept seeing this guy on the videos and he was at most of the spots I hunt... figured we might as well join forces because we were mirroring one another anyway.

agreat video with some awesome coins found...congrats Beef! i dont know where you're located in Ohio, but when i was there last year for a while,..just west of Toledo, i located a few old sites that you could probably scoop up some good silver with your e-trac.
