This is my first pulse machine and I can tell ya it's not like a regular detector. The
first time you run the coil over a target I'll bet you say "What the heck
was that? " . I know I did Every target will give both a high and low tone. On lower
conductivity targets, you will get a high tone first with the
low tone trailing. With high conductivity targets, it will be the low tone first with a
high tone trailing. There is a slight pause between the two tones and I
belive this will helpful to determine the size of the target. I'm not sure yet, but I
belive the lag is longer on larger targets. I need to do some more digging
before I can be sure.
Iron is a low tone. The only problem is, so are most coins and one piece brass buttons
like 1812 buttons. This could be a problem if there is not a
subtle difference in these low tones. If you are hunting a site that could produce some of
these wanted targets, you may have to dig some iron trash to
get the good targets. Just by the few signals I have gotten with the machine, I would bet
there is but again, I just haven't dug enough to tell for sure. I
can tell you however, you can get the high tone good targets out of the nails. As I said
in my first hunt report, I put a pewter button in the ground with
some nails that I had not dug yet and the machine got a strong hit on the button and
nothing on the nails. After reading the Alaska field report on the
Infinium, I did another test here at home to double check my field findings. I took a vest
size pewter USA button and placed it on top of and under two
rose head nails. I got a strong high tone signal on the button in both tests. Next, I
placed the two nails about two inches on either side of button and
again I got the good high tone signal. I hate to do air tests, but for what it's worth,
the machine picked the button rather than the nails.
I hope to here from others soon to see what they are finding in CW relic fields. Until
then, I'll keep pounding the sites up here and I'll keep everyone
