These test were at the limits of I would have decided to dig. Your mileage and determination

to recover may very. A dirt test in my part of the world would only give meaningless information as we have soil that's almost invisible

to a detector to rock so hot you can pick them up with a magnet.

I hope this helps someone. Over all this is proving to be a very good detector.

How about disc mode, maxed out sens, no notches notched out and without the pp all metal activated.

Whoooa that didn't come anything like I printed it.

No notches set, max sense, absolute limits where target becomes iffy and I would still dig.
All targets exceeded 10" depth. This is not so in the dirt ,but depth is very good.
I have dug some coins + 10 inches. Also some were iffy at 8". Variable dirt variable results.

Question, how does the sensitivity setting affect air test results? Do the results fall off rapidly with lower settings, or will it hit the coins at a decent distance even with the sensitivity set to minimum?
ie: on a silver dime what distance do you get with sens at minimum, 50% and 75%?

Thanks in advance

Tom

Check back later today, I'll do a dime and quarter. Also this was with headphones on.
I also expect someone to say theirs doesn't go that deep. I'm being dogged on this forum by a couple of people
who have not used one and even with photos for proof still feel a need say how wrong I am. So keep in mind this is at the edge of failure, and I dig on very flimsy evidence. I'm new this forum but I've been detecting for about 45 years.

i would also like to see that jackpine Savage, thanks for the info Longwalker

What # does a bottle cap or a pull tab indicate? Is it the same as a nickel? I am interested in a 6T but I am waiting for the more experienced to check them out .

[jackintexas]

I played with a 6T at my dealers. I was impressed.....Jacj

Throw a nickel on the ground, notch out the pulltab, and see if you get a good signal swinging both ways.

 

[Longwalker]

I know what you mean you didn't get ?

 

[woodworm41]

[BarberBill]

The 6t is a great detector. I've been telling people for months. It gets no respect because of the name Prizm. I have the three coils (stock, 8 inch, and shooter coil). I really don't need any other coils although I might be tempted by a 6 inch concentric. Simple & powerful & light. What else do you need? Notching pull tabs makes mine a little iffy on nickels, but if you know your VDI numbers it can be rectified. I have dug my share of nickels. I have yet to try it on the beach. I would love to read a beach report by someone.
