Re: Help understanding combined mode

doesn't matter really where you live in regards to a metal detector, where it does matter is understanding your prey , we call it going for a "hunt" and it is hunting and our prey if it is coins understanding them and where they affect the detectors discrimination is pretty important.

having said all that understanding the bushes the prey is hiding in is important also , be it iron or modern trash or both and how they react with the detector.

I like the KISS keep it simple smarty principle as I can complicate tying my shoelaces.

it didn't take me long after getting my ctx to build a combined pattern that suited the coins I wanted to target and now 4 years latter I still use that same pattern with those same tones in those same bins with that same mode, some may say I am not using the full potential of my detector and maybe they are right and maybe they are wrong.

but what I have is 4 years of training my brain to those sounds and well you cant buy that !!

sure I have a fiddle every now and then cause I can, but when I am serious detecting I use what I have used for 4 years, people can buy the best metal detector but none of us can buy experience.

so well done and learn your prey and get out there and hunt some down and most of all have fun :bouncy:
