some advice on deep indian penny's

[russellt]

i found a deep indian penny yesterday . i was finding modern clad pennies with a vdi of 51-55 on my whites v3i. i came across a repeatable vdi of 41 -45 at 6 inches . i almost walked over it but i was intriuged so i dug it . out comes the indian. on top of the ground this indian vdi'd at 53. so dig it .....these pics are after electrolosis and some rubbing

Hey Russelt depending no how bad your soils mineralization level , usually the deeper the target the more the vdi numbers will be skewed or lowered a bit . i always want to see the deeper targets no matter how low they are just as long as their semi-repeatable .

nice indian thumbsup01

the soil at this spot was irony. lots of iron ore so i was ground balancing about every 20 minutes to keep things somewhat level. and i was swinging slow . when i watch the screen and i see continual subzero vdi's i know what the detector is going through trying to distinguish good targets from bad so i slow my roll.just my 2 cents ( wish i could find one) but it makes sense to me

Nice find Russell. It appears IH's can really give a wide range of signals when mixed with other metal items and/or deep. I'm learning this as well. :yes:

I cleaned my with toothpicks and agent orange ( the auto mechanic hand cleaner) and here is the result

Nice work thumbsup01 If I get a repeatable audio or TID # I dig. I`m learning you can never be sure what`s down there unless you dig. As in your case, sometimes you get nicely rewarded, and sometimes not. >:{ Again, great job. erfect10:
