I bought a used 1236,(sort of beat up),and it only air tested most items at 7"..(I ended up selling it)

I had read previously the 1236 air tested some items like nickles/quarters at 9-11"!

What is a normal air test for a 1236???

Thanks,
Dave

I checked my old notes and this is what I show for the 1236 w/8" coil

Sensitivity set just below 9 where the audible tone starts

Dime....... 8 3/4"
Quarter.... 9 1/2"
Half......... 10 1/2"
Dollar...... 11 1/4"

With the sensitivity set at 8, I show a loss of 2" or more on each target.

Setting the sensitivity up to where you hear the "threshold" type sound is key to getting max depth and thats listening for the whisper signals. Easier done in the field than in the house because of EMI. The 1236X2's freg adjuster is one of the best around for eliminating interference.
