Ogliuga Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 Made a quick depth test video some days ago. Sorry for the bad quality and for my poor english. First part is in italian and second part in english from 1:34. Soil is very low mineralized and put 50 euro cent coin on the bottom of a 14” hole. Deus 2 and 11” coil. It was the very first time I turned Deus 2 on. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tuHU4tTVSLI 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff McClendon Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 Just for US/Canadian reference, the coin being used is a 50 cent Euro coin which is roughly the size of a Canadian Looney or a US Sacagewea $1 coin and weighs similarly.....7.8 grams, or a very big coin. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, you’re right. This morning I checked online size of a nickle which is 21,21mm (diameter) and 1,95 (thickness) while 50 euro cent coin is 24,25mm in diameter and 2,38 in thickness. Material of these coins is “nordic gold”, a type of brass. I always use that coin in tests like this but it maybe would be better with a 20 cent coin because it’s much similar to a nickle, talking about dimension..

Jeff McClendon Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 Your choice of coin to test was totally fine. Not many people here in North America that metal detect would know what a .50 Euro coin is like. I just wanted to give people here a frame of reference. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ogliuga Posted January 20, 2022 Author Share Posted January 20, 2022 You did well! I always watch detector tests videos from USA on the tube and noticed that nickle is a very used coin in depth test but also in iron masking ones. I’d like to arrange a Monte’s nail board and think i’ll use a 20 cent coin. I’ll keep you updated.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found a couple 50 cent Euros in the U. S.I think it's a cool coin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
