Internet Detector Comparison - Penny, Nickel, Dime, & Quarters

Breakdown by detector tested on common coins ("copper" is the same as clad). Again, the lower the score the more efficient the detector (essentially finding the coin at deeper depths/distance, while using a smaller coil, yields a lower score). All tests were in the air (not soil).

WoW!.... My Amigo ll scored in the top 3 in all categories, I better hang on to that little baby...LOL

What about Disc. Mode?

OK. There are enough detectors sampled to make a listing. Here is All-Metal operation in Discrimination mode and how the detectors stacked up on individual coins. Lower scores are better performance.

They must of not had any Nautilus detectors as they would kick But on the Nickels and Injuns!

Your efforts are appreciated, Johnny, but without knowing the parameters they used these graphs are pretty much worthless.

Beyond that, just looking at the first chart it's obvious something is amiss with these numbers.

Deep units like the F75 ranked near the bottom in depth while detectors like the Ace 150 near the top?

Nice work. Good chart to reference. I'm in agreement with most of what you have there.

What was the formula you used to calculate the number?

I would have thought two of the variables were 1) Distance from the coil and 2) size of the coil.

Power?
Gain?
Sensitivity?
