Shallow On The River, Deep In The Fields 'Micro Blog'

I've written blogs in the past explaining the major differences between hunting on the river as opposed to hunting in the pasture. They're opposite ends of the spectrum and require two very different mindsets, in the iron on the river where masking is extreme, I want to be hitting on the targets sitting just under the surface and down to around 4' inches, in the fields I want to be going as deep as possible. FOR ME on pasture depth is the number one priority, I've written many times before that I believe most nonferrous targets sit between four to eight inches down and nearly all machines on the market will find a vast majority of what there is to find at these depths, this is being proven everyday of the week - BUT I want to give myself the best chance at finding those percentage of 'deeper targets' other machines will miss - lets remember that you can't find what isn't there to be found and we can't always get super productive permissions.

Most the people that contact me stating that depth isn't important hunt tot lots and parks over in the states where a deep machine genuinely isn't required. On ancient land here in the UK and other parts of Europe there's millennia of history and potential deep treasure to be found and because of this, depth is the number one priority. The reason I don't swing any of my analog machines in my fields, other than Nexus, is because they're not deep, they all perform great in the iron where depth isn't important or possible. Those that watch my river videos will see that Nexus also performs great in the iron rich terrain of the river but for me they are, and always will been about super deep detection and providing the correct discrimination at extreme depths.

I've mentioned this point many times before, I'd rather have an array of machines and coils that excel at specific tasks as opposed to a 'jack of all trades' detector that doesn't really excel at anything, providing just above average performance across the board.

Take note that when I'm talking about "DEEP" I don't mean the first 12 inches, it's the first 12' inches archaeologists skim off the top before they start their recovery process.
