My son and I decided to take a trip to Lookout, Oklahoma. Beautiful day to be outside. Swung over some farmstead ground and found nothing spectacular. Conrad found a broken signal with his BH2200. It hit hard in Disc with the Cointrax. Easily separated out in A/M by retuning next to it. Turned out to be a jeans type brass rivet 3-4 inches deep on top of and amongst all kinds of iron junk.
Next we climbed to some hilltops. Old Indian country where you're more likely to find an arrowhead than anything metal. Switched to A/M with the trax off. That Oklahoma red dirt is kind of weird. But I get a screaming loud staccato in the middle of nowhere. I come up with a 1 inch long pencil-lead diameter piece of fence wire at least 6" deep. From the sound of it you'd have thought it was a paint can until you sized it.
It seems like the Cointax's sensitivity increases considerably as one gets away from interference.
The more I learn this machine the more I think about finding a second one for a spare.
