On average good coins where I hunt are 6 to 8 inches deep or 4 depends but I well agree with badger there in some ones pocket now we or looking for left overs sure there well be old coins at 2 inches and at 12 but detecting 51 years I still go with average depth of 6 inches where I hunt .sube

separation 0011
I see test all the time on detectors separation videos but there all at 1 to 2 inches from the target nail boards different plain and so on, how about making test that are real 7 to 10 inches from the targets that's where my good coins are at in depth not 2 to 3 inches ID is more important than separation when we go deep . sube

Pulltab king said , wouldn't it be cool to have a visual reference of the actual audio tone instead of a number?
This is why i have a CTX where the cursor is displayed is the same tone you will receive also if you build target trace in pinpoint mode it well paint a picture of all the tones at the ID number associated with the tones .sube

I have noticed that when nails are spread out say a foot and a half to a foot there is more nail falses and when you have nails 8 to 6 inches apart there will be less falsing big coil .Using the 6 inch coil in the same 6 to 8 inch nail cover produces more nail falses but if nails are 3 to 4 inches apart you will have less falsing .Tom is this because there is always a nail under the coil thereby

Trying to get some answers for over a year on why i need speed for separation i figured a tech savy group here could lead to some answers .
Simple one minute test pull-tab with dime 3 inches away on left side and a dime 3 inches to right of pull-tab same plane At 2 inches nox and ctx hit and id correct . Now raise coil to 5 inches no separation nox will only id as tab 13 or 14 ctx same however

So did anybody come up with a reason that this is happening is it that both coils are compromised by the nail and the 6 just not have enough depth to hit the dime because it is seeing the nail stronger than the dime where as the 11 sees the nail and coin because it is deeper than the 6 better signal than the 6 on the dime . sube

Tom I ask this ? on other forums why the need for speed I did this video 3 months ago go to 11.40 in the video it shows a nail down the barrel and different speeds used 1 to 4 while 1 had the best audio and 2 was coming and going 3 and 4 nothing .Even thou the signal is elongated at least you hear it 1 and 2 are close but you pick speed 2 why .Settings park 1 o iron bias all the settings factory

I think it's the detector itself when you remove some of the soil your detector is seeing a different ground balance a void in the ground would be interesting to see what a detector ground balances at on solid ground compared to one with a void would it ground balance the same ?.Does the detector ground balance fast enough from the void to solid ground ?
As for halo not on my silver or co

Calabash digger rocks love his videos
Looking back 50 years when I started there was no information on detectors at all you got what you bought and that's that you learned by digging thrash lot's of thrash and so forth now with the internet you tube there so much more information learning curve is shorter . A guy with 2 years detecting can beat a old guy like me it's all about lo

Can EMI change the way a high conductor sounds and the VDI same for low conductors .The reason I ask is some days I kill nickels and get maybe one silver other days I get silvers and Penny's with no nickels running the same noise channel .Also will EMI give high conductors better depth than low conductors and vice versa
on certain days depending on the EMI that's present .

Equinox 2 Switchable multi freqer low multi freq and high multi freq or run low multi freq find a target push button to save push another button run high mutil freq then push mix and a little minelab magic presto combine multi frequency #s and sound .They got the tec and if a low multi freqer is only $899.00 adding the another half would still be under $2000 . sube

You may loose depth when the ground is dry but you will find targets that you could not hear when wet because the iron is not as active when dry . sube

I think knowledge is what you get the most of that can't be gain in 5 years or 10 years or even 15 I started in 1969 the knowledge I gained is not the machine it's what came out of a site I have been on 100s and 100s of different sites . I know what was found there I know what sites were bad and what were good this is knowledge you will never get again unless you were there first . So n

Well, my question is if this indeed happens,,,if it is not tied to pumping the coil with more juice,,,does the recovery rate in fact decrease with these higher levels of sensitivity???
I think the only thing that is happening when you up your sense is the detector is better at getting the return signal that was put into the ground .I still think the transmit signal is the same at all settings
