[QUOTE="XLOOX, post: 652031, member: 16174"] I am refering to "Depth" which is really just signal strength. It is the 5 bars on the display. You will get a distinct zip-zip sound as you wave the coil over a target. If the target is close to its depth limit of detection then you just get the zip-zip sound, a depth bar might flicker but you get no ID number. If you scrape even 25mm the signal will get rapidly stronger and the ID number will show & the number of depth bars will increase ( assuming that the target is big enough to generate a stronger signal). By the time you have 3 depth bars then it is more likely the ID number is accurate so you can then decide to dig further or walk away. In principle you should scrape every no bar zip-zip signal to see what happens to the signal as you get deeper. If you are getting a zip-zip every 5min or more then it is reasonable to investigate each signal further but if you are getting a zip-zip every 30 sec you simply cant afford to dig each signal so you wait until you have a stronger signal to warrant a scrape.
