    You're testing shows why I enjoy using the simplex as it was the only detector there that told you through the sound that the pull tab target was not something you wanted to dig. Anything that contains iron or aluminum in it the simplex will give you a very different sound then a good Target. That makes it much easier when you're deciding if that nickel is really a pull-tab or not. Also you noticed that the nokta models gave a higher tone and vdi score with silver coins than with regular coins making it easier to identify silver, something the minelab's don't do. Great test.

      Can't argue that.... We have a good well rounded variety of detectors to choose from...sometimes it is hard to decide... none are a bad decision

    Good job, Bill and Christine!! I have a Whites MXT, and ran similar tests in my yard to get a good idea of vdi numbers. While I try to dig each target I'm always perplexed by how the similarity of nickels/pull tabs. With much testing, as you just did, I think I've got it figured out. Detecting is so much fun for me. I've been fortunate to find several old coins in the course of my detecting. Bless you guys and good hunting!!

    Good vid, as always. Christine looks great, as always.
    Maybe do a `old v new`?
    I`m thinking the kind of detector from the 70s or 80s ( the ones that looked like a rectangle box hanging off a stick, with coil)...if you could find one.
    I`ve got a Minelabs Go-find 40 I bought about 5 yrs ago, which is a model or 2 below the cheap Minelabs you reviewed a few months ago.
    I think the only real difference is mine has one less discrimination setting? I found it finds stuff, is reasonable with depth, but has no idea what it`s looking at.
    You mentioned in your cheap minelabs review it feels very `plasticy..`..thats true. If I`m too vigorous with extending the under fore arm bit,i it comes straight off.

    • @DigginSoCal

      @DigginSoCal  Před rokem

      Some targets can be affected by depth position and conditions but most are pretty solid. For example, I can pick out a quarter on the NOX regardless of depth... always around a 30. All these targets were about 2-3 inches under the plug

      @DigginSoCal  Před rokem

      Depends on the detector. For most we do. The vanquish for example does not require a ground balance. I will even ground balance when I get to a new location on the same day. I end up doing a ground balance many times in a single day. It will still find targets but I want to make sure it is right for the spot I am hunting.
