Anyone try Clive Clynick's Ring Enhancement Programs?

Finally received some rain the past week so I have now made the 3rd attempt at understanding this program. I am trying to exceed my usual 3-4 rings per year. In the fall and winter is when I hunt most. This program of his takes plenty of practice, and I understand the concept of good audio and tight vdi swaying no more than one or two numbers either direction from the hinge, or center vdi response. I am using the Townley set up, mentioned in the book, and am going to make a few discriminating changes in the future, maybe dropping the low 30s. It's been fun so far, but I believe a few changes might work better. I also accept 81-94, so a search without gold may still yield clad and silver.

Anyone tried this program, and later modified it to better suit them? Please share; I am looking for the best possibilities. I'll keep you informed as the summer and fall progress. Thanks and HH all.

BTW, I also posted this on the Whites site...

Re: Anyone try Clive Clynick's Ring Enhancement Programs?

the only thing the ring enhancement programs do, is to take the most commonly recurring types of aluminum junk, and edit them out. Then they take hundreds of samples of gold rings, and edit them in, to try to get the most rings in, and the most junk out. So for example, you would edit out a round tab, because only a very small percentage of gold rings read right on tab, etc... etc.... This would only work on a TID scale which has lots of increments (like an XLT for instance). It would not work on a scale that has broad category groupings, like a CZ6 for instance.

If you were in an area where the junk targets were pretty predictable, a ring enhancement program would help. Granted, you would miss some and dig some junk, you would up your odds of less junk and more ring. Also, you would only do this for places like turf (where you can't stripmine low conductors) and would never do it for the beach, (where digging is effortless and easy).

I find that no turf has predictable types of junk though. Typically lawnmowers shred cans, foil, tabs, etc... Tabs are bent up, foil wads can be large, and various other types of debri fall right into the categories that ring enhancement programs edit in. You can still dig 100s of pieces of junk per any gold ring, in the average inner-city urban junky park.

The best bet to finding gold rings then is not ring enhancement programs in junky turf, but to just go to swimming beaches (fresh or salt water), where jewelry losses are the best anyhow, and dig all.
