fishing8046 Posted August 11, 2019 Report Share Posted August 11, 2019 Do you think when the ground is wet or damp your detector runs better. Can you go to a patch you have cleared and out pops another piece of gold? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Tom Posted August 11, 2019 Report Share Posted August 11, 2019 I always thought that my detector ran better on damp ground. I run a VLF and it might be different with a PI. I hate soggy wet ground especially when it fills up with water all the time. Old Tom 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin nuggethunting Posted August 12, 2019 Admin Report Share Posted August 12, 2019 Hey Fishing8046, I have noticed over the years with the Pulse Induction metal detectors I have been able to get more depth and found gold I missed. I'm not sure if the ground is more conductive, or if the wet ground is eliminate more ground noise. That being said, it's seems to work with the PI's at least. If you have any old patch, I would recommend running across it a few days after a rain when the ground is moist, not soaking wet to see what you might turn up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishing8046 Posted August 13, 2019 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2019 Well I have to say the damp ground helps a lot. I pulled a number of small pieces of small lead but also this 2.8 dwt out of a patch I have racked down. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mxt Sniper Posted August 13, 2019 Report Share Posted August 13, 2019 I find that wet soil in alkali ground is horrible to detect in, near impossible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
