detectors depth:ausflag:

[blowfly1967]

this is a site on another forum that i found that some of you maybe aware of . for those of you who haven't and are thinking about a new detector that finds targets deeper than the one you have.i really think you should read this,i did ,wow! the post is metal detectors reviewsby owners,head to head comparsions,read this before you compare detectors. i found this to be a real eye opener ,i wish i had read it sooner and i'm only new at this game,but i'm learning. blowfly .try this http://jb-ms.com/carlsforum/oct31-2007/1190584476.html

I can't get that link to work - sounds good though.

eduk i may have written the link down wrong according to the one who knows all or thinks she does. try this one. http://www.jb-ms.com/carlsforum it talks about the misconception that everyone seems to have on sensitivity and depth of metal detectors . it's on another site with name similar to this one blowfly.

Heres the Link

There's a lot to be examined with this synopsis. More voltage does not mean more power in reference to CMOS electronics. A good example is cell phones. The old shoe box cell phones used to use a strong big 12v battery and got coverage by increasing transmission voltage to towers causing 1-2 hr battery life. Look at the size of the newer batteries in cell phones. About the size of a pack of Tic-Tacs. Battery life is 4 hrs. This is because of the efficiency of reception on both ends, the towers and the phone itself. So it would be safe to say that the reception is more of a key than the transmission. Metal detectors transmission is a large draw on battery life and in most cases the transmitted signal is way beyond the typical 8" depth. Frequency does affect depth, but for the most part, certain frequencies just move more efficiently through earth than others. Since the reception is the key, it's the sensitivity of the reception more than the transmission of the signal that determines what a unit detects.

Those links are to the archives of Carl's equipment forum I keep on my website, but you didn't use capital letters in a couple of places that require them. Here are the correct links.

Makes good sense - thanks to all for the links.
