Heavily Trashed Areas
Always remember that many good targets are located directly next to a trash object. When
this occurs, the detector will not be able to detect the good target. There are many ways to
get by this. One of the most effective ways, is to use the 4-Inch Coil System. The 4-Inch
Coil System has a narrower detection field and is more capable of isolating the good target
even though it might be closely located to a piece of trash.
Another effective technique is to detect the same area at different angles allowing more for
the possibility of slicing the target separate from the trash metal.
Of course, if you have a lot of patience, you can always excavate the area of all the trash
freeing up more possibilities of detecting the treasure targets.
Hunting Near Metal Structures
If you're in the Disc mode and you're hunting near a fence post made of iron, you may be
getting a signal from the same post. To determine if it's the post giving you a signal, just lift
the coil a couple of feet over the same spot where the signal was being emitted and see if
you are still getting a signal. If you are getting a signal, even though you are now out of
range of the possible target, then the post is causing it. This also applies to playground
equipment, bleachers at ball parks, etc. To gain a closer detection proximity to the post, try
the 4-Inch coil system.
Deep Targets and Depth Meter/Readouts
If you're getting a reading of 10" on your Bud with a depth meter/readout system, it's likely
that the Target ID readout system may not be identifying the target properly. This is
because targets that are 8" or deeper are difficult to be identified by the detector. The
Target ID readout may be locking on 50¢ when in reality the target turns out to be a dime or
penny. If you have suspect that there are old coins in one area, dig all of your deeper
signals. Most of the time you will have to use your intuition to decide if the target would be
worth digging. This is one of the major disadvantages of not having a depth readout; you
never know whether the target is out of accurate ID'ing range and therefore, cannot truly
depend on the ID readout system if the target detected is deep.
Sometimes deep targets can be difficult to retrieve. Such as in hard clay soil conditions. If
this is the case, it might benefit you not to spend too much time trying to dig one target
when in the interim you could have uncovered six other targets that were buried 6" inches or
less. This is another advantage of having a depth meter system. Although, be forewarned,
a depth readout can make you lazy and leave behind some deep valuable targets.
One of the things to take into consideration is a geological term called stratification.
Stratification is defined as a formation or deposition of layers, as of rock or sediments. Over
time, soil can build up and define periods of time by its layers-the deeper the layer of soil,
the earlier the period of time it was deposited. This is relative to detecting in that you are
more than likely going to find older coins at greater depths than more recent coins. When
you do find an older coin at a certain depth, there is likelihood that other old coins will be
found at that same depth; these coins were more than likely lost at the same relative time.
Keep this in mind when you get lazy and decide to skip a target because it's too deep.
