Hi Guys,
Thanks for the kudos.
I have mentioned before about the increased "depth" achieved in air tests by adjusting swing speed to what is most likely much faster than your normal swing. I can hear someone out there right now saying "air tests don't mean a thing". But, trust me, they do. In this case, I had detected the area numerous times, tweaking this setting or changing that one trying to get as much as I could out of it including using different size coils. I thought I had pretty much found everything that was there. So, I figured I would use "turbo mode" which simply has to do with how fast you are swinging the detector. The 1854 large cent that I found didn't register at all on the CTX while swinging at a normal speed but, it came through as a solid coin tone although weak due to the depth in turbo mode. The proof is in the pudding with this one. Obviously I don't plan on going out there and swinging like a mad man all the time, but if things get quite.. Too quiet, and the area isn't trashy I will try "turbo mode" again because hey, I might end up with another copper.
Sorry for being cryptic in my original post about "turbo mode", I just wanted to give a decent description of what happened and didn't have the time until now.
