I live across from a old church that I beat up for well over 10 years,,and the legend with 6 inch coil surprised me tonight that it could find anything,let alone silver left.
Why doesn't the administrator close the BS, air test doesn't mean anything. Go out and dig in some dirt if you're testing and check different settings, not one machine will do everything with the person be lt.
Here’s real recent video where the gent digging a mask target with Deus 2.
And he even mentions me in video.

Btw.
The very first nonferrous target I dug in old site after I got Deus 2 did very near ID wise what the gent in video saw- gave 08-09 in meter
Am I missing something here?, because all I see in the video, is the D2's nonferrous ID being dragged down by the ferrous targets, while still giving a good tone.
As I've previously mentioned, my main hunting grounds are nail infested. To get at the coins, it's a matter of a very low iron bias, swinging slow, and listening for even a "smidgen" of a good tone. ID is not even looked at when unmasking the ferrous from the nonferrous, because the high signal strength of the ferrous drags down the nonferrous ID.
I thought that was common knowledge
Unfortunately not all detectors created equal.
Meaning not all have divorced ID, tone, and disc.
Some folks may not know or realize this.
I noticed in Woodbutcher's video that he was using M2. It's interesting, because almost since day 1, for SMF, I only used M2 on the Legend. Just about everyone else that I witnessed at the time, was using M1.
M2 is much better for not only small gold, but all gold that is deeper and doesn't provide a lot of signal strength. I also find that the higher frequencies get better sensitivity to small targets such as edged, and on edge coins...and IMO, most coins in the ground are edged, or on edge.
Also, as good as M1 can separate, I think I'm finding that M2 separates even better. Although, I could be imagining that
I've since found out that even Paystreak and Liam from History Revisited, use M2.
Jmaclen,
What SMF mode do you use and why?
Video comparing Legend and Equinox 800 watching ID of clad dime by nail.

Interesting to read your results on this. I won't watch his video. I'm assuming you guys are digging in dirt and wanting the dime , not the foil. I am looking for the opposite on my beach. Could care less about the dime and would rather dig foil all day ! Because on a slope or in the wet that foil will either be just that.... or pulltab , aluminum blob ...or gold.
Last night I hunted beside a walkway leading into a church///SNIP///
Well that's interesting. I'll do some more testing on that.
Is this the same church site that you said you hammered for 10 years, and were surprised to find a few coins with the 6" on M2?
