M8 I Iron Test

[Shelton]

Ok, a short test of the M8 coil in a place full of old settlement iron, mainly forged nails ranging from small ones for horse shoes to large ones for wooden structures. Also ceramics, and iron deposits - coal dust and smelts from iron production. Conditions are very, very difficult. Limiting the capabilities of most detectors. The soil itself is easy, sandy. Does not accumulate water.

Much better target separation compared to the 11 inch coil. Less susceptibility to interference and the ability to set a higher sensitivity by 2. The depth with this setting is equal to the 11-inch coil.

Great to hear. Just need to get one.

WOW! How old is that coin?

Thanks for the report Shelton. Glad to hear it's working as expected for high iron areas. Hope the 15" does as well as expected on the beach. 🙂

It is also for park hunts or tight areas M8 is a perfect solution. Yesterday find.

Imo its not as deep as the 11' no chance especially on ancient land in the uk , agree sensitivity can be raised but its very very sensative to much imo lol

But in iron is the better choice for me. Depth is good even in ancient places. It works for me very well. With 11 inches, I can't suppress the iron noise; separating objects is difficult.

I brought 2 coils to the beach, using the m8 at certain places that I think has higher possibilities for hunting fine jewelry especially necklaces and m11 for general hunting.. so far no necklaces found with m8 haha..  😏
