Squirrel1, "an operator needs to come over the top about 10-12 points Vdi wise--- doing this will clean the Deus tone up ( not meter reading) on targets where the Deus is blending signals." Could you explain this statement. I can't figure out what you mean by "over the top". Thanks
Very easy,,,when hunting modern trash sites,,say a tab and dime are close to one another--- when you swing over,, an op will never now the dime is there,,,meaning the tab will drive the meter reading down,,in my example above to around 76,,, and Deus will blend the tones as well--- tone will sound like a junk metal target sound wise.
So if a person just tries to notch a solo tab signal out,,,sure solo tabs in a trashy site won't sound off unles deep. But a tab next to dime,,op can't see or hear. Now granted a person in a dig all mindset-- this all means nothing to them really,,,but if a person can notch over the lower conductor junk target ( actually more like notching just slightly above blended signal),, an operator can use just their ears to find the high conductors-- and meter reading on combined targets would be lying to operator-- so sound is the key.
Can some good targets get missed by doing this?? Certainly..but how many pull tabs will an op dig generally,,and how many copper and silver coins may be found???
I have done test,,,and made some finds comparing to another higher priced I won't say--- no contest. Person with Deus can hunt behind folks using this higher priced,,if they are cherry picking,,they are leaving high conductors in the ground.
Something else here,,, using Deus with this higher than junk target notch setting,,,any signal heard that is chopped substantially ,,, dig-- the reason is if the junk signal and say a high conductive coin are real close,,and or deeper--- the Deus may only give a hint of a signal. But overall this process of using notch will help,,,and the bonus here is,,,an operator is not sacrificing any depth. Solo deeper even lower and higher conductors will sound off.
Now I don't want folks to think this is the only way to hunt a site and be productive,,,and in sites loaded with nails,,some targets will get missed,,,but in those sites where pull tabs and such as numerous,,,or a person wants a shot at so,e coins with limited digging-- this will do nicely.
And remember my example above involved 18khz,,other freqs can be used,,but different notching is needed.
Also,,for anyone out there hunting in sites with loads of nails---- if you are running any other freq besides 18khz,,, watch out,,you are likely leaving finds in the ground.
18khz will see more masked targets in and around iron-- no matter the conductivity of the nonferrous target...
Sure you can use other freqs,, and make some good finds in iron sites--- but 18khz is the king of the mountain. Make no mistake. A $1 dollar gold coin in a site with many nails and iron bits-- it's survival rate is heavily favored if an op uses anything but 18khz--- and this has less to do with the $1 gold coin being a low conductor,, but more to do with how the Deus separates in iron using 18khz.
