It's always been tough finding old coins in my city parks, I'm lucky if I find 1 silver and feel successful if I manage 1 wheat. But I had a 3 silver hunt so I thought I'd share my last 4 outings this last week.
Now that I know the D2 a little better, I gave DeepHC try. I tried it when I first started with the D2 but the falsing made it hard as a D2 noob. 40khz programs are so stable and I rarely dig trash with fast. I dug some trash with DHC, but I felt comfortable.
Some of the trash sounded good, some iffy, all had repeatability worth investigating, but almost all still had some sign before the dig it could be trash. Whether it was a slight sputter, iron grunt, or tone change while rotating. Checking with all metal(GB) or a 40khz program also helped clear up the picture on some of the iffys.
I also hit one area with horrible EMI and loaded with trash and switched back to fast in that spot for the stability.
Out of the 3 silver dimes I found, I also checked them in fast before digging to see if fast would get them too. Both programs setup the exact same: Silencer 0, BC 2, R-0, AR 5, ground stabilizer 1. 1st dime fast did not see at all, 2nd was super weak/choppy and I had to work to get a signal so I'm not sure I would've seen it with a normal pass, the last dime both picked up.
DeepHC was hitting much more alertive on deep coin signals when comparing to 40khz FMF, which is to be expected.
The other 3 hunts I found 1 wheat, 2 wheats, and 0 wheats. With an average of 4-5 hours per hunt. All at public parks. The 3 mercs were 37, 37-D, 42. Wheats were 29-D, 45-D, 56.
I also had 1 hunt where my WSA-XL died on me! I thought I was good for another hunt, but lesson learned! There were fireworks going off so I wired up my killer b hornets and they do not sound great with the D2. Very monotone(I believe they only worked in mono switch). Still better than the D2 speaker, but the WSA-XL sound much better. Especially with the EQ and FT offset on high conductor range.
Thanks for looking.
