6 inch coil on mid conducters and air test

another look at the 6 inch coil.[video]https://youtu.be/1fN283bR43Q[/video]

(I know its an air test) but still amazing depth for a 6" coil.

It seems to air test the same as the ctx with the 6 inch coil . However the ctx in my ground 7 and 8 inch dimes were common when we get to 9 to 10 inches these were rare digs i do dig one every now and then with the 6 inch coil .
That said the ground is what matters same ground you can find 7 to 8 inch dimes or a 9 to 10 inch dime so it's whats under the coil at the time of detection more targets mineralization or less will decide how deep you can go this applies to the same site just different amounts of mineralization and targets . sube

I must have had bad CTX coils. I had two different CTXs and two 6" coils and never saw that kinda air test distance out of them. 5 to 6 inches tops for me on coins, and less in the ground.

Here's a video i did 4 years ago using a 6 inch coil i did it in my house and still could run manual 30 it seems some people can get more in a air test i have always had minelabs do good in air test , this video is on what happens to coins when they start to get out of reach . sube

sube what does the CTX air test a nickel at with the 6 inch coil?

Obviously I’m not sube, but I just air tested several nickels. The shield and V nickels read 12-12, the buffalo 12-13 and modern 12-14. I don’t know if it’s the wear and corrosion that causes the lower conductive numbers with the older nickels or what. My rule of thumb has always been, if the conductive number is consistent at 13 dig. If the conductive number bounces up or down some it’s my judgement, depending on site and ground conditions. Hope that helps, but sube may have other results.

You can see in the video above the nickel does not hit as hard as the dime about 10 max .This was not a video of depth test it was to show how a coin sounds as it gets out of range .I hoping to get the nox 6 inch coil i think it well open up some more ground seeing it on par with the ctx 6 inch coil and a little better on nickels .sube

Nickels are a strange beast this go's for the ctx as well as the nox if a nickel is tilted one way or the other say on a east sweep the nickel is tilted toward your sweep it will read 12.13 now coming back from the west your seeing less of the coin therefore you may get a 12.09 to a 12.12 or a nox well give 13 and then a 12 .
Now sweeping north and south the id should stay the same because where looking at the coins position which is not tilted toward the coil say we get 12.12 ctx or nox just 12 .

With the ctx we can see the coin staying on the 12 line without bouncing up and down if bouncing up and down then there's iron or more mineralization .A coin bouncing up and down on the nox more than likely is not laying flat in the ground .But if your hearing iron this should help you decide to dig or not compared to not having any iron if the target is deep you will get more bonce compared to a shallow coin the reason being the deeper you go the more mineralization is covering the coin which also causes bounce.

So if i get bounce on a 8 to 10 inch coin which is well past the pull-tab range where i hunt i well dig it.

Now as to what a nickel ids at say 11 12 13 or 12.09 to 12.14 it's how corroded mineral's or whats with it we can't see small items the detector can't id that's another reason when we get it out off
the ground and the it reads 12.13 or 13 for the nox but in the ground it may read anywhere in the nickel range. sube
