Smaller than a nummus . Yes the weather will be warmer starting from today ( 12deg today and 15 tomorrow !.. ) . You are on holidays in the Pyrenees ?

No it is the 9 , the 11X13 is far too heavy for me .. ๐ค

The Roman is damaged then difficult to id ,4th century though . Yes I like the Louis XIV too ..๐

A few days ago I went to a field that I have been detecting since the 2000s . I wasnt expecting very much because I have already spent dozens of hours in this area. However as the famer had just cut the green manure ( ยซ engrais vert ยป in French ) , the field can now be detected and it is a good occasion for an outing before it is planted. The weather is cold , some areas of the field are frozen , I dont like cold conditions but I dont want to miss the opportunity .. Lets go and start my trusty D2 WS6 . My 1st target is a 1st WW rubbish , the second one is a medieval coin ๐. This is a very good start. May be a lucky find ? No because I find 2 other coins shortly afterwards. 2 hours later I end up with 7 coins , one Roman coin and the others from 15th to 17th century ,including a nice Louis 14 silver coin . Plus a silver spoon. ๐ It is time to stop because it is late and my fingers start to freeze .. ๐ค This is weird btw , why so many coins today ? There is an explanation I think , the field is sloping and last year strong rains have probably eroded the ground surface, releasing targets that were previously deeply buried and out of a detector range . A very good day , now I know I that sloping fields never run out of targets simply because of the ground erosion . I ll be back ... ๐ My D2 WS6 master settings : Tekkna , disc at 38 1) the sloping field : 2) The view to the south with a medieval castle ( 12th century ) 3) 2nd target = medieval coin : 4) a silver spoon 5) my WS6 master set with Tekkna 6) A Louis 14 1675 silver coin 7) a medieval coin , 15th or 16th century ๐๐ Final result , the one on the left is a Roman coin , the others date from 14 to 16th century

Max Frequency Selection And Iron Falsing
palzynski replied to Lodge Scent's topic in XP Deus II Forum
Same for me , one year ago I have tried Deep HC but I found it too unstable and noisy compared to the more "classical" modes like SENSITIVE FT for example However a few weeks ago I had a discussion with a friend who is a MD dealer and he told me that he mostly uses DHC so I decided to retry it . Now I use DHC quite often and I like it . Yes DHC audio is noisy compared to other modes , but the it goes definitely deep . It is a very good mode to boost depth on targets like medium-big coins .. For info I have slightly changed the factory DHC settings : number of tones 5 (instead of 2 ) , audio HIGH SQUARE ( instead of PWM ). I wont change the max frequency as I prefer to change a minimum of settings to keep it simple.. At the end I only use 2 modes on my D2 : - Tekkna ( based on SENSITIVE FT ) - Deep HC -
thanks a lot Vicente , yes the guys from "Maison de la Detection" are honest but it is always better to have a confirmation from an experimented and independant user .. Then it looks like the Xtrem is something serious . I am thinking of getting a second hand one to reduce the costs as it is relatively expensive ..

Thanks for your feedback Vicente . It looks like you are more experienced than the guy of the vid who is a seller and sellers are often less experienced than users , because it is difficult for them to be both at the shop and in the field .. On the other hand personnaly I would be happy even with the Xtrem detecting a jar at 65cm , knowing that my D2 would not hit it at that depth especially with iron trash in the ground Btw do you confirm the "nail" experience of the vid ? ( I mean a single nail on the surface prevents a classical VLF to detect the jar at 35cm , while the Xtrem will detect it ) thanks and Happy New Year ..

Welcome Brian . I have never found a celtic stater and this one looks beautiful ...

Some Detector Depth Test Results
palzynski replied to Az_Ed's topic in Metal Detector Advice & Comparisons
Very good tests thx . They confirm my own tests and conclusions. In summary the recent SMF detectors have more or less the same performances ; 6 - 7 inches for a silver quarter for example. And the PIs go around 40% deeper than the VLFs , which means around 9-10 inches for the PIs on the quarter , which is exactly the results of the GPX6000 in your test : 9.7 and 7000 : 10.1 ( unfortunately without iron disc ) And this explains why I am always sceptical when I read or hear about VLF detectors detecting a medium sized coin at 15inches or even more . No miracle with the laws of physics ..- 17 replies

Hi A very interesting video ( in French ) from "Maison de la detection" which is the 1st MD shop in France . The video shows how the Xtrem can detect a 2kg coin hoard at 80cms and how it ignores small ferrous at the surface It also shows that a classical detector fails to detect an hoard buried at 40cm with a single nail at the surface , while the Xtrem detects the hoard and ignores the nail .. These guys from Maison de la detection are serious and honest I know them, this video can be considered as reliable . Enjoy the vid and Happy Christmas .. ๐ https://www.maisondeladetection.com/detecteurs-grosses-masses/1281-xp-xtrem-hunter-antenne-grande-profondeur-3665994007793.htm
