Analysis Screen Shot

A while ago I posted a topic about an upside-down hump in analyze mode. I found a great screenshot of different coin alignments in the ground...on a .PDF published by Minelab!!!!
 
It was all covered in this post. http://www.findmall.com/read.php?66,994745

Asearch on the web will find the actual document which isn't very professional in my opinion.

I Totally agree!
 
Are the analysis screenshots accurate for a quarter in different orientations?
The question was never answered in the previous thread.

I don't put any trust in that screen shot. It is NOT from White's! ! !

Found coins with all those screen types and no downside there! (Inverted being the rarest and has been in heavy salt/fertilzed/iron oxide ladened soil.) Analyze is still a consistant tool and just needs to be used with this kind of knowledge as a "known" variable. All the other info would tell you it being a quarter straight up. If this is a slam....my finds couldn't care less.

In my experience in my test garden this is accurate.
 
Hi Neal WJ

I believe there is a mistake in the pictorial.....Probably correct are the coin orientations for the left and right sides, but the middle picture has the coin top angled to the right. I believe the coin should be angled to the left so that as you approach it from the left to the right, the loop sees the edge most portion of the coin and therefore would give the trace that the left side portion of it would dip to below the zero line. And when approaching from the right to the left the coil would see essentially the large face of the coin and would then give the right side portion of the curve that curves above the 0 line similar to a flat lying coin. Therefore the trace curve as shown would be correct if the coin leaned its top towards the left .......l hope this helps some to understand why some of the line curves display as they do on angled coins. ....Best of treasure hunting to you,,,,,,How.

Good point!
 
These screenshots are exactly what happens with different coin orientations, it is very easy to replicate. Place the quarter flat on the ground, stand it straight up, or angle it to the side in the dirt. Whether or not the "right-left" orientation is the same as that shown I can't say, as I don't have my machine with me. Its pretty cool to see the 45 degree flip flop when sweeping left to right or right to left. If you angle the coin just slighty you can get a "shifted" camel hump, leaning slightly left or right.
