Air Testing.

Hi All Iam looking for some views on air testing.
In theory if the conditions are the same and the items being used as samples are the same,for all the detectors it should be possible to evaluate the difference between each machine for its detecting distance.?
Thanks.John.
 
The Explorer for one and some other brands I have heard, hates air. Hold the Explorer coil a little off the ground and you lose all kinds of depth. They say the Explorer goes deeper in soil than air because it analyzes the ground matrix or some crap. A lot of detectors will airtest a mile deep and can't find anything 5" in the ground. Don't know why, but they do. I would say you would get more accurate results burying something at a measured depth and trying each detector than in the air. You don't have the Halo, but I still think it would be much better test of a detectors capabilities than air for the simple fact that you are introducing mineralization into the equation. That is what puts the hurt on detectors that air test well. <IMG SRC="/forums/images/biggrin.gif" BORDER=0 ALT=":D">
 
the same air test results, let alone the same depth in the soil. I can tell you that my Explorer air tests at 10" on a dime with sensitivity at 22. This is about the depth at which many Explorer users are finding coins. But like Ric said, not all detectors do as well in the ground as in the air. However, I think more detectors are coming closer than they used to, because of the ground cancelling circuits used now. When I started detecting in 1976, some coins at 2" were weak & some at 3" in the ground could not be detected. And that was considered a GOOD detector (just bad ground). HH, George (MN)
 
In my apartment via the heating there is some sort of dust emitting and it sometimes burn my nose and on the floor when I sweep there is like green broken fragments of a leaf. All in all something is terrible wrong as sometimes the dust feels like small farena in the atmosphere.
Therefore would like to test this to see what is the qualilty of air consists of? Thanks.
 
I think you might have carbon monoxide in your air. 1st contact your local gas company ASAP. A C.O.2 detector will help. clean your filter and furnace. Make sure you have enough fresh air flow too your furnace. What I mean is, your furnace needs plenty of air to work properly or it will cause re-burn, hence carbon monoxide. If you only do one thing, contact your local gas company, it cant hurt. One more thing to remember, this is the Mine Lab Explorer Detector Classroom Forum not the C.O.2 Detector Forum. <img src="/metal/html/lol.gif" border=0 width=15 height=15 alt=":lol">
