[video]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gzpESe-wBi0[/video] you can see the Vaquero actually gets this fine , but the mirage ignores it , at less depth I am shire the mirage could hit it but one detector is good at small things and the other the meat & potatoes of gold rings
I have the exact same 5'' Mono coil on my Pulse machine albeit mine is not a Mirage as yet anyway,but the sole reason for me having one of these small coils was for a roman trading villa site which is on the worst case scenario ground conditions going,it is nearly like black sand but 70 odd miles inland.
So a normal VLF machine has great difficulty in finding coins or infact anything its that bad,so this is why a Pulse machine is required and also another twist to this iste is the fact that usually we only have access when the crops have just come off,so this is why a Pulse to punch through the highly mineralized sand is required and also the small 5'' coil to get in between the stubble.So that is why Gunnar put the video up on YouTube.
As most of the finds will be bronze,large silver and the possibility of gold coins as well and the finds being much larger than the small silver hammered coin in the video then it will pick decent signals up at much greater depth than in the video,its a classic case of having the right tool for the job,a normal VLF machine with a selection of coils will do most detecting requirements but then again a special detector/coil combination is required sometimes to take advantage of a highly productive roman site.
So thank Gunnar for producing the video as it certainly did help me.

Kansas the advantage is in mineralized ground , and what the Mirage can ignore as you can see in this video [video]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sAC9Dm66UJ0[/video]
