Xterra 705 finds

[Smoky bandit]

Well three days Grinding the Silver Sand pit for junk So i started reading a few a ebooks on how to find silver coins in trashy ground with your xterra... most of it i had already worked out...But one tip kept coming up...Now ive tried this tip before but i was doin it wrong...So here it is and i will be using it when ever the ground is just to trashy....You need a dd coil.....Auto noise cancel....Set Tones to 99...Yes 99....you will get a much more accurate tone on coins in this setting...Even though it is extremely annoying...but trust me it works.... ..Go to a discrimination mode..Not all metal.... and only blank out the last number.....On an xterra 705 this is 48...Set sensitivity as low as possible....for the area i was working this was 18....Manual ground balance.....swing very slow... i did this for 2 hrs today and only dug 3 targets ...as i know the rest was junk..because they were holes i had dug before and left the metal in the ground..(i can do that cause its my house :lol: )...2 were good signals that turned out to be aluminium window frame off cuts...The other was a 1920 shilling

2mins in the electrolesses bath...and a quick rub with bicarbsoda

Hey ktmman..This is supposed to work best with the lower frequency smaller dd coils so you can find the coins in amongst all the junk...if you get a high tone target narrow your sweep to an inch or two and repeatedly sweep the target ..then slowly move the coil towards your feet...while continuing the small sweeps....If the tone stays high ...until you have left the target...then dig it...if it switches to a low tone just as you are leaving the target its iron with what they call the wrap around effect.. Some iron can sound like a coin.Hope this makes sence :Y:

Great hunting smoky , nice coin find with the new hunting technique !!.good tip for using the terra also smoky . Nice all round mate

 

[Smoky bandit]

Cheers Danny :Y: When i found the coin..i switched back to my usual discrimination pattern for coins..To hear the difference ....And it was blanking alot..So i would not usually have dug that target...Switched back to the new patern an the high tone was much clearer...Definitely good for sniffing out those hard to find coins :Y:
