Equinox digs 13 inch coin - video from UK

...and next to a nail, Just incredible!

[www.youtube.com]

impressive!

Very impressive! I had to watch it twice..

it most likely got the nail signal first which was a false one and just coincidence that there was a coin deeper down i think its impossible to get a non ferrous signal from a target that is directly under a ferrous one as this seemed to be maybe the coin was a few inches to the side though ?

I have to disagree with that... I have a 8 inch flat button with a rusted nail on top and detectors will hit it just fine one way though.. turn the other way and nail hits...

Why wasn't he digging deep nails all over the field then?

Was this a hubby measure or wifey??

Is that buried and with a gap between the button and the nail directly above ? if so Tom D disagrees he said something along the lines that even something as small as a staple above another target will mask the one below.

i found the quotes

''of the above data.,.,.,.,.,., is to say; A tiny rusty staple that is ....say: 4-inches directly above a coin............. regardless of enhanced adjacent target separation capabilities.............. to include a much tighter electromagnetic footprint emanating from a elliptical DD coil ......................... will STILL remain 'masked' by the staple. ''


''But............. In final summation............ if a 2-penny nail is at 4" deep........ and 1" below/beneath the nail is a silver dime (at a depth of 5"). . . . . . . . regardless of microprocessor clock-speed .,.,., nothing will help acquire the masked dime. The signal strength of the nail is fatally/substantially overriding.''

and K Southerns take on it ,

''Take a nail two inches long and bury it 3 inches on top of a U.S buckle that's 15inches deep...you'll never hear the buckle...put the nail a foot deep above the 15 inch nail and you'll hear the buckle..

So if the quarter is strong enough to be heard at a foot and its got a better stronger reprot than the shallower diem reading as iron it can overpower the dime but if it cant the detector still has to go through the process of thinking its dealing with ferrous and nonferrous and that would come down to separation and or how far into the iron zone the dime has dropped to be able to up average..

Now you would hope the foot deep quarter was actually a half dollar.

a staple on the surface can cancel a 4 inch dime if its in right proximity..''

Maybe he was or maybe like i said the coin was actually to the side of the nail and not directly underneath it we will never know that though and saying all this i would be impressed if i found that coin at that depth with a nail nearby with my Equinox 800.

Iron false which just happen to have a coin under it lol.

The head on that nail was massive and it was bent haha. I would say I road a unicorn to work this morning before saying that wasnt a false signal.. as for the size of the hole some piece of that iron would of been directly over target not to the side

I want to believe!

sanjuro , no the nail is directly on the button at 8 inchs. I'm very aware of the weakness of detectors once the iron gets 3 or 4 inchs above. From the video the nail looked close to the coin but we will never know..

There is a rule of physics: Stronger signal wins.

Energy from a coil drops at a rate of "inverse 6X" (sixth root). You would be shocked to see what this math looks like on a graph. It's not linear/logarithmic ..... it's not exponential.......,,,,,,,,....... rather: it is asymptotic. Approaches zero (or infinity) almost instantly!

Have you even used the EQ?

Yes i have around 30 hours on it so far but i am sure it can not see non ferrous directly under ferrous in the ground with a gap between them as that video seems to be showing but like i said the coin may have been to the side of the nail
