The problem with testing like that is the fertilizer is only thrown over the target. Fertilizer is a conductive salt that will hit as a good target so the iron discrimination sustem is useless here. Also if an area is mineralized the entire area is mineralized so the tracking system can pick it up and rebaling it correctly. Try digging up an area about 3' by 3 foot and mixing the conductive salt fertilizer thoughout it equally like mineraliztion would actualy be then bury the target. I think there will be a noticable difference. All VLF metal detectors would react equally like this. A pulse inductor type metal detector would hit it even if the threshold hum is chatty it would hit it regardless to being masked directly over the top.
Thanks. I have very mild soil everywhere around here and it’s hard to find natural mineralized soil to test in , so fertilizer was the closest thing I could think of. Our ground is so mild that even cheap detectors can hit 8 plus inch coins. My dads bounty hunter pioneer 505 even hits the deep stuff around here. Our main nemesis is heavy iron laden sites where unmasking is the #1 concern with detectors.
I go by sound that is why I found close to a hundred silver s last year and I am all ready at 13 for this year just coins not other silver objects just yesterday I dug to silver dimes in heavy clay dirt every bit 20 plus inches o the mercury dime a solid 46 a wheat penny VDI and the silver Rossy was only a VDI of 44to45 and they are in really good shape it was the extreme depth I believe i also hit on a silver quarter I assume since it’s was only a few inches away from the silver dime a VDI of 49 to 51 and very sweet tone using 60 tones DT at 2 after 15 inches I ran into a tree root I will bring my razor sharp hatchet with me next time it’s not going anywhere. I’m the only one allow to metal detectYeah I get a good tone one way or even a few squeaks. I’m am digging It’ and 80 percent it’s gonna be silver.
Are you running the LG24 coil with this test? Not only is the ID all over the place the audio is too. Yeah I agree with you, not a target most would dig. Do you have any other detectors like the Equinox 800 to test on this? Thanks for test
Yes im running the lg 24. As far as detectors, i have the legend and the double score and deus 2 and had the equinox 600 but it flooded a year after warranty ran out so i never replaced it. But i did like the performance on the nox 600 a lot.
@@lancemcilwainoutcastmetald5398 i have the Equinox 800, and have never taken it underwater. It's out of warranty too. Bought the Legend couple weeks ago. Liking it, but it's different. Half the reason for buying it was to tinker around with the settings. I think the Legend has more solid tones than the Equinox and its flute music. The Equinox has gave me a lot of coins though. The Legend still has to prove itself. 21 hrs with it so far.
@@RobNC-OGit took me a good while to finally click with the legend but now i ues it more than my other machines. My best program is park multi 2 in 60 tones with the first tone break set at 7, recovery speed 6 , disk ir at 2, deep target id set at 2 , volume 4 audio response 4. Sensitivity as high as you can run it and still be stable. Iron volume 3 and run in F to discriminate out ferrous but I still dig big iron but most of the time you can tell that it is big iron because it will be a chopped high tone with a little iron grunt off the edge of the target. Now silver is a different story. I can almost call a silver coin every time. It has a soft smooth high tone that says,HEY!! Im silver !!
I run the lg 24 coil almost all the time because it is so light. The original stock round coil is just too nose heavy to me but if you can handle swinging it then do it because it is crazy deep. It is deeper than my nox 600 was before it flooded.
@@lancemcilwainoutcastmetald5398 Agree with you. M2 seems to punch better for me also. I've been running Park M2, 4 tone, T1 break at 9, IF=2, St=3, Recovery Speed 4 or 5, AG=3. The LG24 is a good little coil. I like the LG30 too but my arm and tendonitis don't. But that LG30 is a real shocker, finds the stuff deeper like you said.
Interesting Test Lance..💥💥💥
Thanks for watching Charlie. love your live streams. Even with no shirt on. 😂

Sorry 10 inches
Did u up the recovery speed?
Yes. Completely lost signal at recovery 8 and above and completely lost it at 2 and below. Vdi stayed the same in 3-7 but 7 was really faint signal
