mineralisation test

[eta-carinae]

hi randy,

in "understanding your x-terra" you wrote about the groundmineralisation test with the 9" coil to see what coil type will fit's best for the specific ground.
i would like to know if this reference point round about 30 from the 9", is transformable to the 10x5" dd 18.75kHz ?

greetings

Unfortunately not. It doesn't work that way. There is no direct translation from one to another.

Ground minerals are Conductive and/or Magnetic. Varying combinations of the two, the properties of the specific minerals and their response to different frequencies, as well as their density in the soil composition all play a part. The stock 9" MF CC is the benchmark used for a couple of reasons, but the biggest is because it is a concentric with the most uniform values across the detection range.

ahh okay... thanks for info

Somebody send me a 9" MF CC---I wanna test my ground! (kiddin) -------Hey OL, I got my "Digger" coil yesterday, sweeeet!-----Haven't had a chance to hunt with it yet but tested it in my test garden, large yard & some targets in my shop.-----It's gbing out at 17 & 18 in different areas in my yard.-----It sure hits on my buried targets (coins--dimes & quarters) MUCH better than the 5 X 10 DD 18.75 kHz.-------That coil has found a home on my 705--at least for awhile! -------------Del

Your HF DD is going to collect dust Del. That Digger coil is going to take up residence on your machine.

I think you're right my friend.

He hit the nail on the head with his answer. But if the whole truth is to be told, another reason was that the 9-inch concentric at 7.5 kHz was the only coil that you could buy with the X-TERRA, when I wrote that information. I figured if everyone got the 9-inch when they bought their detector, we'd all be testing from the same benchmark. HH Randy

Curious Randy----What does your "Digger" coil test (gb) in your ground?

Mid 30's to mid 40's, depending on the site. HH Randy
