I needed it, the LS and the J-tip found it. Another game changer from Javad.

David,
I am on a job now with 143 iron pins found so far. The J-Tip has been awesome for me.
I was out with another local surveyor on this same job last Saturday, and he carried his classic Schoenstedt. There were signals that his detector did not really give a definite reading on, that the J-Tip did. There was also a railroad spike 6 inch deep in the road that the J-Tip missed, and his Schoenstedt did find. When I put the J-Tip over his spot, I only had a 1.8 positive reading, which did drop back to zero when I moved away. When the spike was exposed, the J-Tip reading was 11 while in contact with the spike.
I am also getting good at judging depths before we dig in the road. I am usually within an inch.

That's a lot of iron, perfect opportunity for fine tuning your depth assessment skills.

Why do you suppose it struggled with the rr spk?
User error....., and a very weak field from the railroad spike. I had my JTip setting of "No Sounds Below" set to 1.8.
I was back today, and was using a setting of "No Sounds Below" set to 0.5. I had no problem detecting it very clearly. In fact...better than the Schoenstedt.
I think I have settled on a new "No Sounds Below" value!
