  1. 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.
  2. Beautiful pics and video from your country ... thanks a lot Simon ... Iā€™m moving to NZ too .. šŸ™‚
  3. 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
  4. 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 ..
  5. 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 ..
  6. Welcome Brian . I have never found a celtic stater and this one looks beautiful ...
  7. Sorry , fixed
  8. 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 ..
  9. 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 .. šŸ˜Ž https://www.maisondeladetection.com/detecteurs-grosses-masses/1281-xp-xtrem-hunter-antenne-grande-profondeur-3665994007793.htm
  10. This is the first time I hear about this , paying the farmers to search their land ... I hope that this wont cross the Channel ... šŸ™‚
  11. From my last discussion with a friend who is a MD dealer, the Minelab Xterra Elite seems to be an excellent machine for only 500Euros . It is a multifreq detector then it should pick up tiny targets . Its stock coil is a big coil ( 30X22 cm ) , then check that the detector wont be too heavy for you . There are smaller coils available though
  12. Then it looks like XP is now one of the exceptions šŸ™‚ making everything in a western country (in France ) .. With Garrett perhaps ?
  13. There are things I envy from my side of the pond šŸ™‚, for example gold prospecting that we dont have over here ... your US gold coins , šŸ™‚ your beautiful landscapes ... Grass is always greener ...šŸ™‚
