trashy roman site

i would try a smaller coil
maybe the in the manual of the detector you can find something about how to configure the detector in trash fields

Basically, a small coil will help.

But an old TR detector, or a C Scope 770xd (and up) would do miracles in the dirt !

Bill Wyman's detector (a 770 XD with a 6" coil) would be of great help too.

I'm in a mining area and there are tons of old abandon mine sites from the mid 1800s to mid 1900s.  I think everything miners had was iron and everything they were done with they threw in the ground.  My machine has a different tone for iron (low) than for non iron (high).  I run it in all metal mode and a slow sweep speed in these trashy areas.  I only dig the good repeatable high pitch sounds.  It seems that when I try to hunt with discrimination the machine is overloaded by all the iron.  I also use this on all the old parks that I thought were hunted out.  I run about 50% trash the rest is coins and have dug a couple rings (nothing good yet).  With my detector if there is a lot of iron and i discriminate it I it takes longer dealing with the false signals than just running all metal.  I run an xterra 705.  Hope this helps.
