Steve Herschbach Posted January 12, 2017 Author Share Posted January 12, 2017 That claim of detecting paper money permanently turned me off of D-Tex detectors. No wonder they were one of the early casualties of the detecting world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ridge Runner Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 Tom I remember that the plug for the coil looked like a plug for a 220 outlet but it worked. Thanks for the time travel back when everything came up silver. Chuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geotech Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 9 hours ago, Hobo said: I was in Oklahoma around 196? and Bill Mahan was demostrating the paper money detecting ability of his D Tex detectors. They did produce a weak signal at very close distance, not sure if it was the paper money or the BS that was detected. I was also using a Whites BFO at that time It works, I've done it. The ink used in paper money has iron in it, any good BFO will detect it but only an inch or so away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Figured I'd make a quick vid to share results if anyone is curious. I don't have a BFO detector but I still got some results on the GB2. I can sleep well now knowing. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Des D Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 Back in 1977, the catalog for my 1st detector, a "C Scope IB100" (UK make / Newforce) stated: 16" inches on a single coin and 2 ft and greater for larger objects!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EastTexasChris Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 Why get a detector at all? With these, you can just see into the ground! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
