Some info as far as settings go for depth.
How depth is affected,,,varying key settings.
Using both 5khz and 14khz,,,with 5 kHz providing overall better signal. 20 kHz,,signal choppy with the following settings.
9" deep dime,,2 bars indicated soil mineralization meter Impact,,stock coil
Using DI99 mode
Gain at 70 with rest of settings at factory default,,,wearing headphones,,tone provided.
Raising gain incrementally all the way to 97,, tone becomes louder.
Going to 98/99 tone even louder,,,emi here can be noticed more though if present.
Leaving gain set to 95 using both 5 and 14khz,,,reducing disc down from default setting of 3,,, to ,2 then 1, than 0,,, signal gets better incrementally. Using 5khz here still a slightly better signal than 14 kHz with equal settings.
Now putting disc back to level 3,, and lowering Imask setting(folks need to be aware,,no designated Imask wording here on detector's screen,,but when using any mode not all metal,,,,this level depicted on screen is Imask setting. Default level is 1. Lower to 0 improves signal over all. Again using 5khz here still a slightly better signal than 14khz with equal settings. Raising Imask setting signal still good,,when I get to level 5,, signal wishy washy,,level 6 and 7,, signal all but gone.
Deep mode,,,gain at 95,,,even a louder signal than any of above mentioned using other equal settings noted above,,,louder,,,noticeable coil height above ground can be witnessed and still achieve good signal,,coil sweep speed not as forgiving vs non deep mode selected.
Using deep mode in conjunction with 20khz,,,a better signal than mentioned above,,,while using 20khz,,but still not what I would classify as good.
Have compared DI99, 2 tone,,over this target,,,signal wise very similar.
Meaning both give me IMO equal audio to alert and make dig decision.
Remember this is a solo dime,,,sanitized area.
Also remember this dime,,orientation wise is face up(more perfect detecting scenario) vs what could be expected on some dimes in the wild.
Remember 2 bars indicated on Impact detector mineralization meter,,,this place here with Dime measures 4bars using stock coil Fisher F75 detector,,,Deus about mid scale dots wise on minerlization meter.
Ground phase shown on Impact usually runs around 60 here.
Also,,ground balance manipualtion done over dime,,,no help signal wise noted.
