The Outlaw...
- Thread starter Smudge
- Start date
I just have and hope to get the video on You Tube once I understand this new camera software. In the Disc mode my Outlaw is able to sense a dime to 8.5 - 9 inches. In the All Metal, Motion Mode 12 inches! One thing I really like is the amount of ground I can cover and maintain some great target separation. These are my results in my local park, normal mineralization.
Smudge, through the several decades I have been detecting, with a wide assortment of makes, models, and search coils, I noted more pronounced differences in coils size changes in the early BFO and TR era of the latter '60s and early-to-mid '70s. As our electronic circuitry progressed, so did the improvement in search coil design. I have found that many makes with smaller size search coils, from about 4Smudge said:
Yes, larger coils can lose performance on smaller-size targets. With some (many?) makes and models a misadjusted Ground Balance can also cause a loss of detection to larger and/or higher -conductive targets, such as big silver dollars, half-dollars and on occasion the US quarters. Reduced depth or total loss of response can sure be annoying.Smudge said:

Spent a few hours at my local lake yesterday. The area I detected has lots of black sand. I used the 10x12 coil to try and get some deeper targets. Results, I found one large silver ring at about 5" but as far as modern coins, deepest was a nickel between 9" and 10". I found a few dimes at more than 6" and one was probably 8"+. Good repeatable hit. I also found a soda can at over 20". This is by far the deepest target I have ever dug. Outlaw is noticeably deeper than my Conquistador umax. One thing I have noticed is that good targets tend to give good signals until maximum depth, where the other detectors I have used started to give broken signals as targets got near the limits of range. The only problem I have is that I couldn't disc out a steel bottle cap below foil. I ended up digging a lot of caps especially rusty ones. Clean ones would give a slight clipped signal but rusty ones sounded good. So far I am very satisfied with the Outlaw.
