BigFoot coil doesn't work with the Vision

[Tom Slick]

This picture is proof that a BigFoot coil doesn't work on the Vision. I've had my for less than 2 weeks and this is all I've found with it using the BigFoot.
129 Qtrs, 176 Dimes, 11 Nickels, 229 Pennys = $52.69 plus 14 mutilated coins, 7 Tokens, 14k Locket, 14k ring, and other odd items. I can't wait to try it on some old sites with some of my other coils.

PS. Send your old, worthless BigFoot coils to me so you won't have to bother storing them.

What was the reading on the ring. Some have said #s on gold targets are off.

VDI'd at 14. I've found that items that VDI between 20 and 25 read up around 65-75 using 3 frequencies with the BigFoot. Strange but items that read below 20 and above 25 are not effected. They VDI the same as they do on the DFX or on the Vision using 7.5 freq. There's something (22.5 freq) I think the effects only those 20 to 25 VDI numbers.

Thanks for the info Tom.
I sure found my share of gold rings with the DFX and the BIGFOOT. Hope Jimmy can get one going that will read correct on all #s.

How was the depth and separation with the BF as compared to the V3 stock coil?

Thanks for sharing.

I collect those old useless coils.

I wouldn't know how to act if it worked very well

I air tested all types of Jewelry on the (22.5 Freq only) with the Bigfoot and the Sensitivity was very low, scary low, it's like The BigFoot can't handle the 22.5 Freq. doing the same test with the stock coil I get extremely high high sensitivity on the 22.5 Freq only.

hopefully White's will come out with the Bigfoot coil soon that can handle the Higher 22.5 Freq

Hi,

What do you mean by sensitivity? Are you talking dpeth of detection? Or how small the item is you can detect?

Depth is related to the width of a coil, not it's length. It is expected that the Bigfoot would have poor depth compared to the stock coil. The Bigfoot depth would be closer to that of the little 4x6 Shooter coil.

In any case, my Bigfoot seems to do as well on my V as it did on my DFX.

I air test numerous Rings and run it pass the BF in the (22.5 Freq Only) (not the 3 Freq) in some cases I had to almost put the jewelry on the BF coil to get and any hit, I do the same test with my DFX and M6 I get High sensativty on the air test with the BF.

When hunting in the field on the (3 Freq) with the BF the 7.5 Freq hits high on most pull tabs?

but when I hunt with the stock coil in the field in the (3 Freq) 22.5 Hits high with the pull tabs.

don't get me wrong the Bigfoot works with the V3 as I have already recovered lots of finds with the BF and the V3 as other members have to, but it seems the BF only optimizes on the 7.5 Freq and don't' like the 22.5 Freq. as I'M a Jewerly hunter only and like the higher Freq's
