Got a nice DeepTech Gold to use

I made a post on another forum about the DeepTech detectors as they have interested me from what I have read about them. I recieved a few pm's from folks that have or have had a DeepTech with their thoughts on them. A fella sent me a pm saying that he would send me his DeepTech Gold with 3 coils to use if I wanted, all I have to do is cover the shipping. He told me to take my time with it as he is beach hunting now with another detector and not using the DeepTech. Sure are some fine folks out there, it takes a real nice and trusting person to do such a kind thing. I received the detector today but only got to try it for a short time in my yard. I have a feeling it is going to work well & plan to take it on a hunt tomnorrow. I am going to try the small coil on it first, will let you all know my thoughts about it. Steve.

Its a lot deeper than the tesoros bud! Think you'll like it!

Hey Steve ....Congrats on the Gold and very Nice of the member to send you one to try out....

One of the first things on the Deeptech is to not try to make it do something its not designed to do....

You will here people dismiss it in statements like dont waste your time....Dig's too much foil Etc...

But the machine is working as it should its the operator whos is not using the TOOL in hand to his or Her advantage..

the DTVG is a very precise intsrument geard for one thing... pulling masked objects out of iron..And especially maked low conductors out of iron...

The low conductors in heavy iron are the most difficult to get and thats why theres still alot of those target's left...

But if you use the DTVG wisely on a the RIGHT site's you will be rewarded...

Oh you can use it in modern areas too with it's modulated audio you can ignore the louder surface hits a concentrate on the deeepr smoother modulated hit's ..but the real eye opener is going to be in the more ancient habitat site's like over 125 years old and back....Civil war period,Indian war site's, sites colonial sites .fur trade site's....Spanish/French site's any where thats Known to hold anncient habitat and you think is hunted out is where the DTVG really takes aim at...You will see that the disc wide open is still an iron only reject..it will take out some foil but thast just the overlap area from large iron to small low non ferrous ...but you will be using the disc at about 10 O'Clock jsut for the nails and the lowest of conductors can come in wiht a better chance...

Remember to unmask in iron you need to set the disc on a razors edge for nail reject since it the most comon itme encountered and causing most masking in the ground...the wide iron disc window allows for more precise rejection..I set mine to actually high low tone a bent nail and low tone the straight nail that way I now I am on the cutting edge of unmasking..you will chase a few bent nails but you will also be rewarded with some finds you thought were not in the spot...The Analog audio of the DTVG will also talk volumes to you if you listen....the larger ironlike spikes horshoes hoes kettle pieces etc that litter's ancient site's will be heard but they will have a rolling tone to them as well..you can identify them easily after awhile...but rememebr if a nail is masking an itme imagine what a axe head can do...it can hide a Jar of silver and not even be directly on top of it......so the larger iron removal is your option if you like....If I now a site is WORTHY of all iron removal but nails the DTVG is quite up to the task. and can also be very eye opening...

SET THE DISC TO JUST KEEP THE NAIL'S IN LOW TONE....Listen for the high tone to break through.....go slow sweeps and utilize fast in dense iron...turn the iron audio volume down if the low tone iorn report become's to annoying but keep the iron audio tone going for best result's, If you go to the one tone conventional mode it has it will null the low tone like say a tesoro and that's fine but you get alot more info if you allow the audio to flow through the headphone's as continous.. the one tone option unmask well also but it not on the same level as allowing the audio gate to remain open...(((ALSO USE THE LOW OHM HEADPHONES LIKE THE CALRAD'S FOR BETTER AUDIO NUANCE)) ...I stay boosted all the time myself but thats your preference for Now non boost may make more audible sense..Keep the sens as high as you can..on the high freq its usually doable close to max...But if you experience too much FALSING you can turn it back....the 5x8 coil will be of greater use it the dense iron also it has a real tight footprint...

You may find the stock round 11" to be slightly deeper in open areas over the 7x11 but less performance in iron when comparing the two..I prefer the 7x11 coil for all around hunting and the small coil's for the tight work...

I like tight elliptical DD's on High freq machine's even over round DD's And alway's prefer either to a concentric on a high freq rig....High freqs seems to drive elliptical DD's the best performance wise...

Theres no perfect detector but if you use the DTVG for what it was desinged for and treat it as a right tool for the right job then you will be pleased..

I await your first hunt thought's..

Good luck and any questions you have fire away MAYBE we can answer them...

Keith

Thank you Keith and you too Ray.

I have a DTVG and need to buy the smaller coils. The question is WHERE?
