Valens Legacy Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 You sir just have not been to a bank that just burned down to start the recovery process. Good luck and I don't want to hear that you got in trouble setting fires to banks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

George Kinsey Posted January 3 Author Share Posted January 3 . I do not intend to offend these folks who do this. The companies they test for do not seem to mind. I have been asked back in the day to test several companies' offerings. Never once did it occur to me to try this. I live near Culpeper Virginia with some of the worst soil you can find. Virginia also has saltwater beaches and low mineral soil east of Interstate 95. I guess I was more interested in which detectors won the "Triple Crown".š Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Digalicious Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 Above ground unmasking / separation tests just make it easier for the tester, and more transparent for the viewer. In such above ground comparison tests, if a detector can't hit a coin sitting beside a nail, it isn't going to be able to hit in the ground.

I buried a few modern coins adjacent to offset rusted square nails at 4, 6 & 8 inches. Close iron will definitely pull down the TID. A good control test that gives an idea what to look & listen for in the field. Did notice on a SMF detector that while adjusting the iron filter higher a nickel signal will begin to clip. Works as an IF adjustment gauge of sorts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
