DetectingMO Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 So I'm not a gold prospector and don't have gold around. I do have a gram of gold of small pickers my son and I panned for fun. What kind of test do you want to see done with the HF coil? As a coin/park hunter and a few hours hunting with the new HF today I can definitely say it's not for me. The lowest frequency isn't low enough to avoid the deus' affinity for calling aluminum/canslaw coins. I typically use 8k or 12k. The lowest on the new coils is ~13.3k - 15.6k. The higher frequencies absolutely slam low conductors. Nickel ID is 66 on 15k, 80 on 30k, and 87 on 55k. zinc and higher is crammed in the 95-98 id range on the highest freq. So great for micro jewelry hunters and prospectors. I've started some vids on youtube with the same user but won't link since it could be viewed as advertising.

jasong Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 Seconded on posting the vids. Any idea what ID range square nails, rusty old tin can bits or old pieces of blasting caps (if you happen to have any of those) ring up as compared to the pickers you have at 30 and 55k? How easy is it to switch between frequencies? Can you configure it so it's like 1 button/trigger push, or does it require a lot of scrolling through menus?

DetectingMO Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 Its the same as before. Menu->freq->+/- You could still do custom programs in slots next together with identical settings besides freq like some have in the past for simple +/- button to cross check. Thanks for some low conductor testing ideas. It's definitely not my forte. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DetectingMO Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 These videos arent anything to write home about but its a start. Coil Pointer Quicky hunt 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Tnsharpshooter Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 I wonder why Xp didn't make a 6x9" coil,,,using the original frequencies?? I would have been interested in one of those,,,,if separation could have been increased over 9" round coil. At least I can get the pinpointer and be happier.

Steve Herschbach Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 Ok, if people are now getting their hands on the new HF coils, where is the V4 download for existing users? Am I missing something? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Tnsharpshooter Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 Steve, If you are referring to Craig,,I think he is using a beta version update just for testing and demo purposes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
