    Modern Detectors - UK Test Garden Results #2

    Some folks may be interested in other work done by Staffordshire Metal Detectors in the UK, which I have placed in chart format. These are test-bed results for many detectors and coil combinations on targets that include nails oriented in various ways to make identifying the non-ferrous target...

    Coins Sinking

    Coins sink .... plant debris adds layers above, both can be in operation. Coins can sink rapidly during the rainy season when the ground is more liquified. Worms do push soil to the surface and cause coins to drop into the cavities by overturning and pushing dirt above the coin. Subterranean...

    Modern Detectors - UK Test Garden Results

    I thought it may be interesting to report the detector test results in a chart format from the work done by Staffordshire Metal Detectors in the UK. He has run a great many detectors and coil combinations through his test garden, though he used UK-style coins (Cartwheel Penny, Halfpenny, 20...

    Loss of depth / Factory Reset

    Assuming the detector coil is functioning properly, a target that 'disappears' can be a poor conductor that's altered its orientation with respect to the magnetic field when being dug and now seems to disappear. Some detectors are more prone, such as the CTX which has trouble with weak...

    Simplex+ square insert at coil bolt?

    The Simplex coil mount that I received (left/right side below) has no fitting or slot for the square washer to fit into, thus the question for its inclusion. Nokta, apparently there are two coil mount designs still out there, an older and newer ones. Would rather have had the newer coil design...

    etrac readings for 1oz. gold bar

    24K is 99.95% pure gold, so the gold coins below, being closer to 22K (.916 fine) will likely have slightly lower Conductivity (Co). It might get you in the ballpark though. Here's TID for gold coins in the air with the CTX:

    Simplex+ square insert at coil bolt?

    Nokta-Makro reply is this about the square washer: "The square washer works on some coils and not on others. Some of the newer coils use it. If yours doesn't, it's just extra." That washer comes in the KR40 hardware package, which is a separate replacement coil mounting package for the Anfibio...

    Simplex+ square insert at coil bolt?

    Hi Rich. Yeah, I thought that was the idea too. But the DD coil provided doesn't seem to have any notch to lock the coil. Does anyone use the square piece?

    New CTX 3030 Program

    There are lots of choices in CTX programs (many patterns began their life as E-Trac patterns and can be used as such). You can pursue some of the common ones below and decide which ones you want to try. Many patterns are fairly similar in their attempted goal of isolating the non-ferrous good...

    aa Battery's Race To 0.8v How Much Interest Is There?

    Note - Monte, I only found Albertson's 60-pack advertises for $12.99 (Link >> Signature Select 60-PK). Here's a more complete breakdown of MarkCZ's battery ratings of most batteries tested. Cost per Hour column added. Batteries sorted by per Unit Cost (2nd column from right - from least to...

    Water hunting results on simplex

    As Monte said about the Simplex+, tones vary a bit as does the raspiness or clarity of the sound produced.
