    Hey guys, pull tab here but wanted to add some positive notes about the 1.14 update. I definitely noticed some improvement on target ID with the Deep Target setting (dt) set at 6. A few things to note: crusty zinc pennies which usually ring from low 30s to low 40s were solid tones staying consistent at 36-38. Also, at the end of our hunt when we had finished recording i pulled a silver 1947 Rosie Dime which i bet we had walked over in the past. It rang 42-49 which i would definitely dig and was only 5"-6" deep. When i opened the hole it started to ring low (maybe was on its side) but because of the more stable ID prior to opening it, i dug the hole and got the coin. Definitely think DT is a great new feature that will help all Detectorists even if beast mode may need some work (maybe we did something wrong).

    Thanks, Pull tab. I see a statement from Delik said we are using BM wrong. Stated even our experienced users are using it wrong Nokta will be coming out with an explanation soon. I'm hopeful. I sure do love the dt setting. I think it will be good once tweaked.

I definitely got the impression I was doing something wrong so I 100% don't want to say it isn't working but with our experience, something was funky. Overall I'm super happy with the update and glad to be providing some feedback to the community.

    ​@@kellydavis2797 just saw their statement as well. We were both under the impression we may have not been using it correctly when the VDIs were not adding up to the normal modes. I'm under the impression it makes sense for relic hunting where signals are deep and a vdi wouldn't be as accurate regardless. Thank you

    I agree, the DT is a winner. I went to my well hunted old school and with DT, found coins and artifacts I totally walked over in the past. With beast mode I get audio but the vdi's are all over the place. Anyway, thanks Jersey, your video was great you lead me to realize my threshold was too low. Thanks again happy hunting.

    Is it going deeper though or is it allowing you to find shallow items you missed before. Finding stuff with DT you didn't before doesn't mean it's the new DT feature, it could mean you literally missed it before. I've been to a site 50 times and still pull stuff out. Just gotta hit it right. NOthing to do with a Deep Target setting. Unless you tell me that new found target is super deep, it's just the machine doing it's normal job.

    @@TheDiggingDudesOfficial hey dudes so threshold from my understanding directly impacts the detectors ability to pick up smaller or deeper targets. I typically turn it up anywhere from 9-23 or so before that hum gets too loud. I don't think it's necessary in most environments but many areas I hunt precious coins are hiding deeper than 7 inches. It seems to have worked for me

    I’m on 1.14 beta. I haven’t even tried the beast mode. A lot are folks having problems with it. The DT mode I have tried, but not at a place I have hunted continuously. So far, in my test area, DT has been so so. I’m not ready to say it is better yet, more hunting is required. Thanks for your video. It gave me a starting place to try on DT.

    I agree. DT Seems to give a different audio response when turned up. But I did feel the VDI was more accurate at depth specifically when comparing penny/dime targets that ring up within 1-2 VDI from one another. Wish you luck and hope to hear your results.

    Beast seems to be more effective with aged targets in the ground. Also the ground balance must be perfect. Ground balance the original or level gb then switch to ground balance level 2 and do it again until number is stable and no tone change. Make darn sure you are not over any targets in the ground when you ground balance. Recovery of 3 and move slow and steady in beast. I look for 3 things. No depth indicator. When the legend is on targets past the depth detection there will be no bars. This is one of the 3 things letting you know it's deep. Next NO VDI or possibly just a hint of a number once and awhile and I look for high number. And third a nice soft rising tone. Deep targets in beast do NOT give a beep beep on super deep targets. It more or less is a soft rise and fall. A lot like a gold nugget PI detector. Soft rise woo woo. And now with those 3 things - no depth bars, no VDI number or maybe occasionally while swinging slow and steady, and a nice soft woo woo sound. Dig! That's a deep deep coin. I am pulling wheats regularly at full pinpointer depth and I switch back to regular park mode and coin is not picked up. So finely tuned ground balancing critical. And recovery of 3 then a slow steady sweep right down on the grass. Listen for a soft repeating rise tone. It works but you must slow down and know what it's telling you

    Thanks you for all of this information, I'm sure many will find it very useful. I'm of course giving it another go and will take what you've said into much consideration. I'm guessing you would recommend headphones? In our first few hours with it we were not wearing them.

    @@JerseyDigs yes headphones are a must. The guys that will adapt to beast mode most easily are going to be good nugget hunters. As they are very used to soft light targets. Unfortunately most coin hunters don't really understand what a true light signal is. Listen to Delik say. Double ground balance and that VDI won't work on these deep targets. Keep that in mind. No depth bar showing and occasionally VDI. I look for VDI of 46+ to pop up once and awhile while sweeping slowly over the potential target. Once you get those 3 parameters showing and you dig a few coins you will start to know exactly what you are looking for on the Legend.
