Do they mean ANYTHING?? I was playing around with a couple of detectors, and their various coils and here are the results.
Garrett GTP 1350..................Coil..............4.5".......................7X10".................10X14".................Sensitivity at "default"
penny...........................................................4.5".......................7"..........................7.5"
nickel...........................................................6"..........................7.75".....................7.5"
dime.............................................................5".........................7.5"........................7"
quarter..........................................................5".........................8.5"....................... 7.75"
gold nugget (17gn)........................................2.75"........................4"........................1"
gold nugget (4.3gn).......................................1.75".......................2.25".....................not detected
Tesoro Tiger Shark................Coil.......................................8"........................10"..........<---"Motion Disc"......8"...........................10".........<---- "All Met Fast"
penny...................................................................................6.5"......................6"..............................................6.5".........................7.5"
nickel....................................................................................7".......................7.5"............................................8.25"........................8.75"
dime.....................................................................................5.75"...................6.5"............................................7".............................7.25"
quarter..................................................................................6.25"....................7"..............................................8".............................8.5"
gold nugget (17gn)..................................................................3.5".....................3"..............................................3.5"...........................4"
gold nugget (4.3gn)..................................................................2".....................3/4".............................................2"..............................2.5"
After collecting all of this data, does it mean anything in the real world? If all metal is "deeper" in air, will it be deeper in the ground? If a given coil is "deeper" in air, is that the one to use in the ground? If one detector is deeper in air, will it be the one to use in the ground? Just wondering, and I put the numbers up there if anybody was curious.
