Let's See If This Fixes It...Video- 13" Ultimate, SEF 12x10, 10" Tornado, & Sun Ray S-5...All Head To Head On An Air Tests With Ruler In Foreground Of

[Critterhunter]

Did the testing/filming earlier today. Spent a good part of the last few hours editing the stupid thing. Had to cut out a bunch of testing with each coil, as I made numerous re-attempts on video and then watched all that to make sure the measurements were repetitive. What you see in this condensed down video is the same exact results of all the other depth tests on video I edited out. Just wanted to make sure the results were as confirmed as possible.

Yea, I know air testing Minelabs is something that is very controversial, because many say Minelabs get more depth in the soil than in the air due to the unique nature of the way they handle the ground signal and so appear to need a ground load to operate at optimum performance. I tend to agree with that, because (keep this in mind when you watch the video) I have dug a couple of coins 11" deep with the 10" Tornado, and I've also dug a silver dime with the S-5 at over 7" deep that hit so hard/IDed so easily, that I'm sure it could have probably been 9"+ and I still would have got it. But just the same, air testing can be interesting, and the results are fairly impressive...

I have done simular test in the past with a few of my coils from my 2 year old coin garden i start about 10 inches above lets say a silver dime buried at 7 inches and start decending slowly ill get a signal at 8 inches above but the meter shows foil at first below 119 to 88 i do not get a true reading until iam at least 4 inches above the dime on my meter then ill start to get close to 180 , so if i saw 88 at first there is no way i would bother digging that target and waisting time doing some kind of wiggle with my coil to see if it is a better target then 88-119 the coils i used where S-5 S-12 Tornado 10" and SEF 12x10 all on 2 different machines all the same results . You can not get a true reading air testing . Jim

Thanks for the video Critter. More 'food for thought'. I'm sorry I sold my SEF 10x12. Maybe I'll get another or the 13" Ultimate. HH. Matt

Thanks. More in the works I'll be posting sooner or later here. Got a few more ideas for the Ultimate/12x10 testing, and probably will once again throw in the 10" Tornado to see how it holds it's own too.
