or immersing the coil to search the soil under water in salt water.
I've notice that in some cases there seems to be a firm resolve by you and others on an increase in detecting depth, by certain detectors, on targets of a size,metal type and even a detection of mineral oxide that certain detectors and their users,Explorer generation include will find.
This suggested increase is mainly due to the humidity and maybe the salt, the iron or mineral oxide(salt included and part of) content within a soil on the average salt water beach(vast dry salt lakes NOT include) and the resulting increase was due to the "halo" of which may have been detected to give the impression of an increased depth that would now fly in the face of the notion that the depth does NOT depend on a proportionate coil size
Is this basically correct what is being said?
I'm curious and firstly need to make sure with you or even anybody else if this is the case.
If not, could you please give a brief run down of what you think of Explorer in such conditions.
Please, I am not expecting you to give an in depth and long reply(unless you want to. Your choice)as I've noticed in most of your posts over the years that you are very much in understanding of the way most detectors seem to work.
These are genuine questions for a discussion and not meant to provoke bad sentiment or a war.

I tried the Ex SE yesterday and by days end I will actually have purchased another glass of slightly sweeter lemonade.
What a sucker I am.
