    The dreaded Iron Question with some pictures.

    Stock 9x11" DD: With Disc=6 (disc out small nails) I get a strong broken signal with no sound of the dime. With Disc=7 I get a little chirp of the nail and no sound of the dime. With Disc>=8 the dime is completely masked by the iron and I hear nothing. New 5" DD: With Disc=6 I get a good...

    Sorry Tinfoil, it's raining here tonight. I'll try tomorrow night in my test bed.

    Larry, I read the same thing into your story as nightman. Hmmm... ---- Not all detector comparisons are made with a biased motive behind the statements. Some of us don't own two detectors.

    The dreaded Iron Question with some pictures.

    Now with the nice picture presented, can anyone build this little test in your backyardf? It takes all of one minute and I guarantee it will be worth your time as an aid to learning your new Vision!

    The dreaded Iron Question with some pictures.

    Very nice Brett. Yes, that's exactly my scenario in my test bed! I need to practice with that Sketchup program as I'm an old AUTOCAD guy. Can someone build this scenario and test it using their Vision? Come on now... I can see the coin with my F75 and standard 9"x11" coil but I need to...

    The dreaded Iron Question with some pictures.

    Sorry for my poor description. My 2" long rusty nail is buried 1" deep. My silver dime is buried 4" deep. The targets are 6" apart measured along the surface. As to the orientation of the nail, a line extended through the axis of the nail from either end would never pass through the surface...

    The dreaded Iron Question with some pictures.

    Can someone with a yard try my test? It would be much appreciated! "In my test bed, I have a 2" long rusted nail buried 1" deep 6" from a silver dime buried 4" deep. The nail is positioned at a 45 degree angle to the dime. I cannot see the dime when passing over the dime and nail in either...

    That's easy enough to do! Can someone with a Vision try Bugalooob's test? Can someone with a yard try my test?

    $1550 on E-Bay

    Only 1 bid. Are these units selling for $1550 retail with some negotiation?

    what exactly is the 3 quarter recovery test?

    Try the nail and silver dime test I described in the "Dreaded Iron Question" thread. That's a very common situation in the real world.

    The dreaded Iron Question with some pictures.

    In my test bed, I have a 2" long rusted nail buried 1" deep 6" from a silver dime buried 4" deep. The nail is positioned at a 45 degree angle to the dime. I cannot see the dime when passing over the dime and nail in either direction swinging at my normal speed using my Fisher F75. This is not...

    My First Seated Liberty Coin

    Great finds Ron! How deep was that seated dime and in what part of the country do you live?

    The dreaded Iron Question with some pictures.

    It is easier to detect a dime with a nail laying on it vs a dime with a nail 3" above it. Can someone with a Vison bury a dime @ 4" then bury a nail directly over it @ 1" depth? Water well then test. Tell me what you find.

    The dreaded Iron Question with some pictures.

    This is very interesting! I'll try an air test with my f75 tonight and try to duplicate your results. I'd be very suprised to see a positive (silver) signal. If the nail is 1" from the coil, and the dime is 3" below the nail, the signal from the dime should be plenty good, except for the...

    The dreaded Iron Question with some pictures.

    In my test bed at home, my Fisher F75 fails the test with a small nail buried 1" with silver dime buried 3" under the nail. I'm actually going to move the nail 6" over to allow some meaningful comparison data to be taken from this target.

    Was this using a normal sweep motion?

    How much separation can you get between the nail and coin when you apply the high filter and high recovery speed?
