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 .. 🤑

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

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 ( « engrais vert » 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 🙂. 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. 🙂 It is time to stop because it is late and my fingers start to freeze .. 🤑 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 ... 🙂 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 😎😎 Final result , the one on the left is a Roman coin , the others date from 14 to 16th century

Not in mine ... 🙂

At the condition there is(are) no ferrous ( nail(s) or others ) between the denarius and the ground surface ... In the real world this has statistically very few chances to occur because Roman sites are usually infested with irons.

Beautiful pics and video from your country ... thanks a lot Simon ... I’m moving to NZ too .. 🙂

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 ...

Sorry , fixed

For me too ... 🙂

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 ..

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 .. 😎 https://www.maisondeladetection.com/detecteurs-grosses-masses/1281-xp-xtrem-hunter-antenne-grande-profondeur-3665994007793.htm
