Make sure that when you run into an area that is producing a number of deep coins (6
inches or greater), to make a second search at a different direction from the first to
get good coverage.
One of the hardest techniques to explain is what a really deep target sounds like. It is
the most important target to learn but the hardest to describe. To just say a deep
target is weaker in sound than targets on the surface will not produce the really deep
coins all the time. Experience is the best teacher and very deep targets will often
sound like something not worth digging to a beginner.
The descriptions below assume that you are using discrimination, you have the
sensitivity set on your own setting, (not using Auto), and you are using a SunRay
meter with the Sovereign XS.
A good target on or close to the surface normally will always give a good broad
positive response provided there is no trash on top of or right next to the target. The
beginner should know the sound of a good positive response, and dig these when the
meter also locks onto this sound. Now the deeper the target is the weaker the sound
gets. When a coin target is around 5" or so the sound becomes a very short positive
signal. The meter will lock on and you should always dig this target sound.
When you are using your sensitivity in the manual setting, auto off, there are some
very deep targets that will produce a positive short and weak wavering type of
response. A sound where the tone or pitch will oscillate up and down. It doesn't
sound like a good target because of the up and down oscillation. If the questionable
target causes the meter to bounce around mostly in the positive numbers, you may
want to dig it. Sometimes the up and down oscillation can be so wide and fast
between a negative and positive response that it will have a broken sound. There is a
metal object in the ground when you hear this sound but it may not be a good target.
To prevent a lot of trash from being dug on these questionable targets, you might
want to try the following. First only be interested in the very weak, deep sounding
signals. Get the coil over the target and watch the meter. A good target will cause the
meter to bounce around in an area generally of positive numbers and produce a
positive sound each time you pass the coil over the target. A bad target will generally
null out with no sound or a very broken sound will occur. Be aware that on these
types of signals the bad to good target ratio is going to be high. Checking the target
from a different direction can help identify a good target from a bad one. Another
thing to remember is that if the first thing recovered from the hole is a trash item,
make sure that you recheck the hole. We have found pulltabs, foil, and iron trash in
the same hole along with good targets that gave the good response in the first place.
