I live in an 1860's farm house, and I have a White's MX7. I've had the MX7 about two years now, and found some interesting things around here...now here is what puzzles me...
I have found some coins, not a lot, and nothing older than the 1940's. I have the six shooter coil, I bought about a year ago, that I use mostly. The area around my house is full of iron things, you can go about any where, turn on the detector, and swing and get a signal.
I have to keep the sensitivity on 3 or 4, any higher, and it goes deeper, but target id is off the charts. It will say penny, quarter all kinds of things, that usually turn out to be iron.
I'm wondering if there are any settings I could change to help with this, or I wonder if I'm not getting deep enough for older coins? I don't think anyone has detected here before, but I've only been here since 2006...but it puzzles me why I can't find any older coins. I have the 9 inch concentric that came with the detector, the six shooter, and the 13 inch DD detech coil. If I try to use the 13" coil it's all over the place with the readings.
