Coin under foil part 2 XP DEUS II

Calabash! You are going to have to quit! lol
You have already got everybody 'hooked'! lol
I had seen another detectorist demonstrating all metal detectors will not unmask if you have the target above notched out!
The XP Deus II certainly does!
Wow! Thanks for the video!
 
Notch out foil... place coin under edge of foil ...hits it in multi. What does this test mean in real world hunting? I dont know yet..
 
I wonder how it would do with a civil war button or bullet under the foil. I can set the t2 to get rid of foil but lead and brass are gone too. Just a question
 
In just my personal experience of hunting our Florida beaches, I don't notch out anything. I've found that if I notch out one of our biggest nemesis, the ever present pull tab, I'd risk notching out some forms of gold as their metallurgical signatures are extremely similar and register in the same range on the VDI scale. I rely on the VDI but more so the tones to tell me what MAY lie under my coil....emphasis on MAY. Does that mean I'll dig some junk....absolutely. Had I notched out pull tabs, in just one example, I would not have come home last year with a mans 10K gold ring with 5 diamonds.

Until the state of detecting technology reaches a point of sophistication that it can reliably distinguish between gold and aluminum, I'll continue to avoid the notching option available in higher end detectors. But as I always say, that's just the view from my "beachy" foxhole. Your view may very well be different. ;)
 
It may be camera angle, but it looks like the coils are hitting the coil off the front end of the coil.
I would think the center of the coil would be the strongest.
