Ok yall, ive been MDing for about 6 weeks so far. I bought a discovery 2200 at a pawn shop for 40 bucks,
it was missing battery cover and they thought it was missing the battery pack and cover. I told them since it was broke and no1 else was gonna buy it id give em 40 bucks cash out the door. I already knew it only took 2 9v and that i could just use duct tape till i found a cover replacement. I also bought a lonestar the next day for 60 as a back up. I dont like the lonestar as much. So ive been swinging the 2200 since and have found a lot of cool stuff, including silver already. Ive also bought a 4" coil for it. My mian questions are these, What will gold hit at usually with this unit. I hear everyone else talk about number read outs. Mine dosent have that, it has the ID ranges that itll pretty much tell you what kind of metal it could be. I was thinkng it hit at the IRON ID, but otheres talk about it coming up as pull tabs on their units. I get TONSSSSSS of iron hits everytime i detect at parks and schools in the main gathering ares, not so much out in the fields. So if it does hit at iron will it be a different tone but still show IRON
The other question is, How many of yall have had success with the 4" coils?? Im reluctant to put it on because ive found so much already with the 8". Ive thought about putting the 4" on the lower shaft of lonestar and just swapping out the lower shafts when neccesary and just using the 2200 machine. But when to use it, alot of places i hunt are trashy, but the WHOLE area isnt necessaraly, just around the trees and pavilions and stuff. So, do yall go on a full hunt just using 4" or do yall swap mid hunt depending upon terrain and conditions Any help would be appreciated
