There’s different definitions of “iffy” for sure. Some vids I’ve seen with these iffy signals are to ME straight up coin signals. As soon as the individual with THEIR machine knows what iffy coins are compared to iffy junk,then it’s easier to skip the ones YOU know are going to be garbage. I completely concur Chris,I find WAY more working the odds based on past experience with MY machines and MY settings! To dig anything that has ANY chance EVERYWHERE? Not this guy....
This is true , iffy signals cover a scale from better to worse. Going on what the site and detector are telling you its " almost " possible to grade each one by a percentage on how likely something is to be good or bad. Working that angle , digging only the very best iffy signals helps maximize both time and potential. You can use up a lot of your time going after targets that are " probably " trash with maybe a 5 to 10% chance of being something good , or you can choose to save that time for going after what based on your experience is " probably " something good with a 5 to 10% chance of it being junk.
But its just a personal mindset , there is no wrong way. Just trying to better explain the reasoning for walking past many of the iffy signals.
I read so many posts on here where people say they never find much good stuff , but they dig nearly every high tone out there and often post pictures of basically trash finds wondering what they are. A very likely answer to their quandry is to maximize time better by isolating certain targets to go after. Instead of digging such a broad spectrum of signals , narrow it down down some and go after the better ones. The time saved usually puts more good finds in your pocket and less trash. It seems like a paradox to some , but often digging less finds more.
