Metal Detector Basics And Theory


Recommended Posts

While looking around on the Minelab site I came across this article by Bruce Candy.  It will certainly be a re-read for some but for me it was a first.

There is much more than just Minelab in the article.  It included ground balancing, discrimination, gold detectors, coin detectors and a host of other related issues with knowing some of the technology about target detecting.

It doesn't yet include ZED technology but does explain why it is so hard to have a gold detector that discriminates.  (When you discriminate you lose targets!)

Gold has a special ability to camouflage itself has always been my opinion even knowing the why's of it when it comes to discrimination and detection.  Thanks for the link :)  I'm pretty sure gold has a personality as well as it can be a love hate relationship tracking it down.  Hahh!
