Understanding All-Metal Carry-Over Responses <\/strong><\/p>\n When I began hunting with the Sovereign and Excalibur, I noticed that a lot of signals had this segmented quality that usually meant that something was very close to the coil.\u00a0 A signal would come in with a wide, drawn-out sound, give a normal tone in the middle, then go out with the same long tone. As I began to examine what was causing this sound,\u00a0 I recognized that these were almost always targets with some iron or steel in them.\u00a0 The exceptions were objects that were very small and right on the surface.\u00a0 These \u201ccarry\u00adover\u201d responses can teach a lot about how the Excalibur performs.\u00a0 In effect, what you are hearing is the machine trying to form a \u201cbridge\u201d between the steel or iron in the object and the surrounding ground–just as it does with a false signal. The difference is that this false signal is interrupted by a good one–the non iron \/ steel part of the target.\u00a0 This good signal makes up the \u201cblip\u201d in the middle, and the carry-overs are basically a reflection–the interaction of signal and ground.\u00a0 What this means is that if you are hunting for objects with no iron or steel, listening for signal with less<\/em> of this carry-over<\/p>\n
