Air test results, really interested in 13" Ultimate and 18 x 15 SEF

[bottle collector]

I did some air tests on the pro coil and 12 x 15 SEF today and would be really interested in seeing results from the 13" Ultimate coil and 15 x 18 SEF if anyone has them and is willing to air test them.

I ran my machine in factory coins mode, auto sensitivity plus or minus nothing and noise canceled. While my etrac was laying down I ran a wooden yardstick through the webbing in the coil at a 90 degree angle to the coil and tested with a clad quarter by waving past the coil.

The results for a repeatable hit were

Pro Coil = 9 inches

12 x 15 SEF = 10.5 inches

I know it is not actual hunting conditions but would love it if anyone with different coils would post results for any other coils you have with the test done this way. I'm really interested in the results of the Ultimate and really big SEF

The first thing I notice in your post is you ran in Auto sensitivity. To have an even playing field for another person you would need to run in manual and also both use the same channel. Depth is effected by both variables. And air tests should be done with an open screen by both people.

I will gladly test my 13" Ultimate for but we need to be setup the same to even come close an accurate test.

Jeff,

Sounds great, What do you think as for channel and manual sens.? Should be easy enough to do. I'm game.

Ok, I just repeated the tests with a wide open screen, manual sensitivity set at 25, deep on and was on channel 10. Results with clad quarter are:

Pro coil = 13 inches

12 x 15 SEF = 15.5 inches.

I will go with the same settings. I will not get to it till Thursday and while I am testing I will also test the other three coils I have.

I will get back to you so hold tight.

Sounds great Jeff. PM sent.

I tested the 6x8 SEF today with the same settings and it hit the quarter at 10.5 inches.

My testing will have to wait till tomorrow or the weekend. I had soccer practice and a Baseball game to be at with my two boys.

I will get to it then.
