DigDeep Posted May 21, 2010 Report Share Posted May 21, 2010 I made TWO little videos (all in ONE youtube vid) with my cell phone today over over two different trash targets, can you tell what each one is? Listen closely...........I am using a 4500 w/ 14" mono. First target in the video is in sens extra, Second target was in Enhanced The winner wins nothing but some detecting cred.

grubstake Posted May 21, 2010 Report Share Posted May 21, 2010 I don't have a 4500 either, I have a 4000, my guess would be a can lid. Grubstake Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, kind of looks all the same but watch closely and you can see the different ground in the second clip.DigDeep Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goldbrick Posted May 21, 2010 Report Share Posted May 21, 2010 It sounded like you got a slight double tap on your last swing on the first target so I would guess it's a busted square nail and the second target is a boot tack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DigDeep Posted May 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2010 If ya listen close you can hear a low/high from one of them, and by judging on how close I am to the target should tell you something (well most of the time). and also the double hit is another clue.also so you know neither were hotrocks.DigDeep Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adam Posted May 22, 2010 Report Share Posted May 22, 2010 This is cool , but the truth is that I have never bothered to actually try and decipher what a target is based on the signal. I`ll certainly guess though The first one is a piece of barbed wire fence. The second is a 22 lead Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grubstake Posted May 23, 2010 Report Share Posted May 23, 2010 The only SURE way to tell, is DIG it, don't second guess your detector, you will be fooled sometimes. DIG it ALL! Grubstaker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DigDeep Posted May 24, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2010 The first one is a small Bullet.Second one is a small thin nail about 3/4" long. In my experience often nails or iron pieces will give a Low/High in (enhance especially) even if they are tiny little pieces and the double hit in one direction is a give-away for being elongated. With my detector Nuggets start going Low/High after about the 4-5 Gram mark (not alway but usually) and can easily be heard over a foot away. Judging by how close I was to the target "a few inches" it tells me it's not a 5+ gram nugget as it would have made the detector scream that close. And it was obviously close to the surface because it came through very clear when I used the edge of the coil.I dig just about every target because every once in in a while it will turn out to be a really weird shaped nugget (usually cup shaped) that will distort the signal but 99% of the time it's not.. It is kind of fun for me to give a guess on what exactly what it is before I dig it up.DigDeep Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
