F5 air test on a nickel

[Ken in NC]

Would like to ask any present owners of the F5 to do a simple air test on a nickel (using the stock 10" coil)

Not looking for the extreme depth here, so please set the ground balance in the default setting of 82, the gain at 50, threshold at 0, and have the machine in disc mode

Please use a ruler to measure for accuracy. I would just like to know at what distance the F5 produces a solid audio report on the nickel. I know it may not ID correctly, I am just interested in the audio report

Thanks in advance for your report
