The conventional All Metal mode is just that, an ALL METAL response mode. Only the Discrimination mode relies on the 120REVIER said:ED 120 in all modes.
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:Forgive me if this has bene asked before, but I couldn't find it.
Has anyone tested the depth of the Outlaw with the 12x10 coil on a clad dime yet?
If so, what was your result?
That's what they say Smudge but I was very surprised at how well the Outlaw w/the large coil hit on small pieces of foil.Smudge said:I had often heard that large coils lost some sensitivity to smaller targets. Thank you for that confirmation.
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:I had often heard that large coils lost some sensitivity to smaller targets. Thank you for that confirmation.
