4 kHz vs 8 kHz vs 12 kHz on deeper silver coins

Finally got it to publish! I used only three coins for the comparison, and the only thing changed throughout the test was operating frequency. 4 kHz is also fantastic for iron rejection vs other Deus freqs

Thanks for posting that video. Really interesting. It has been my experience that the higher frequencies go deeper, but I can't say that with certainty with respect to a specific target or level of conductivity. From several of your previous posts, you've clearly experienced the same phenomenon you demonstrated in the video of 4 kHz hitting deeper/harder on silver targets in the ground, so obviously it's not just an "air testing" anomaly. Clearly it makes sense that 4 kHz hits harder on higher conductive targets, and that 18 kHz would hit hardest on lower conductive targets. But I don't have enough data/evidence to reconcile your demonstration with my experience. There's more work in order here! :) I guess one could run the same test with a nickel and/or a penny and see how that turns out.
Take care,
Rich
 
If you try this same test with a nickel and use Reactivity = 3, Silencer = 0, Sens = 90 you'll find that 18 kHz will hit a nickel the hardest whereas 4 kHz "smears" the signal and won't pick it up after 5". IN 18 kHz - according to my testing - a nickel will hit up to 7" with all other parameters being equal.

Maybe another video is in order to demonstrate!!!
 
Hey, I totally believe you! Hopefully you know I was just sharing a (puzzling, to me) observation. I love what you do, and that you share it so openly.

Guess what? I finally got silver at my "home" park. This is an old (well, old for here, from the late '30s) trashy park just a block from my house. I hunt it regularly, and have found Wheaties, and some silver & gold jewelry, but never a silver coin. I was using a 4 kHz program similar to what you've been using, with GB set on tracking, reactivity = 2, and silencer =0. It was only about 4" deep, but we had a downpour today, with about 3" of rain in 4 hours. It's in remarkably good condition. A '43 Merc. Guess I'm officially in the 4 kHz club now. ;)

HAHA! That's funny I found a 1943 D Merc today as well on a return trip to the rental house - but yours is much nicer. I DO think, however that the higher frequencies can "see" non-ferrous targets within iron trash more effectively than 4 kHz...another video or three is definitely in the works!
 
Great video--yes, keep them coming!

If you can squeeze in some time to do some bottlecap videos--that would be very useful to those of us who are having trouble with them. Good job CZ!
 
CZ you need to stop detecting for a week and do all those videos you been meaning to do!


LOL


Jim
 
He probably would if everyone would send him the silver and gold they found during the time he was making the videos. LOL! Sounds like a good deal right CZ?
