Most use Deus and Nox, but there are also a lot of Deeptech users. The higher frequencies are used for the smaller en thinner silver coins.by wilci - Thomas Dankowski Metal Detecting Forum

"Ask yourselves this.....WHY would FTP send someone a pulse induction machine, with NO experience, but NOT send one to Tom (w/decades of experience) FIRST, especially with all the involvement Tom had in this project.

Re: Can we have a good in depth talk about frequency? - 4 years ago
Since a year I'm hooked to the XP elliptical running it at 28 Khz finding smal silver coins from the 7th century AD. Along the river with much basalt, cokes and iron. Already I found 8 of them. They come in on the Deus from ca. 35 - 50. One thin coin VDI was 32, almost the same as coke. Coming season I will run the coil at 68 Khz. I tested the small coins on the Monte's nailbord anby wilci - Thomas Dankowski Metal Detecting Forum

My business: in the river, hipdeep searching for smal silver coins (sceats and small hammered) weight 0,5 - 1 gram.

Re: 28kh for relics? - 4 years ago
I'l have the elliptical HF tested on the Monte's Nail Board with 68Khz. I find it better than 28Khz. I have searched this last half year along and in the river in the Netherlands with the HF elliptical. I found several very, and I mean very very small silver sceats coins from the 7th century. After the winter I definitely wil search the place again with 68Khz. The place is loaded witby wilci - Thomas Dankowski Metal Detecting Forum
Re: 28kh for relics? - 4 years ago
As I understand it a lot of mudlarks on the Thames foreshore use as basic detectors the Compass 77b 100khz TR which -does- see through a certain amount of iron.by wilci - Thomas Dankowski Metal Detecting Forum
