A question about the SE, and gold jewelry responses

[Arturo de Zorro]

of a coin after you had removed about eight or more inches of dirt because it became an air test from that point on. And then came the X-1 probe that would let you know to dig deeper. This issue about the Halo of the coin makes it larger, well if the detector signal comes from the halo of a deep coin that otherwise wouldn't be heard, and there is no halo in an air test, then in the dirt it will detect deeper. And freshly buried coins or where the dirt has been disturb (bulldozer), to an Explorer is the same as an air test. I have a coin garden that is just over ten years old and another that is three years old ten feet away. At the older garden I have no problem hearing the coins at 10" but the at the new garden at 7" the signal starts to break up same as an air test.

Hey,that's interesting Arturo...

I wonder why our Explorers have this different ability in the newer/older soil matrix?

Is this a side effect of a multi-frequency FBS detector ; any of you techies know about this???

I'm thinking you are saying that a detector with a better air test performance will likely do a better job in newer, broken, or plowed land eh!

and there good in bulldoze sites, same go's for the Advantage and Xterra, It must be the single Frequency set up. But as for me I got to have a multi tone detector, its just fun using one, Explorer first and Xterra second.

I have an X-Terra70 and love it. I run it with the 10"DD.

The Lake Michigan Beaches near me are low mineral quartz sand. Near the waters edge in the saturated quartz sand depth of detection with the X-70 is phenominal. All machines go deep there but the X-70 for some reason is really able to take advantage of the high conductive low mineral conditions and go that extra few inches. Never seen anything like it before. Wish it could do that everywhere.

It compacted sand and does not cave in when digging with a small spade so I know the depths are accurate!
