John,With a Sovereign XS2 coil BBS1000,I placed a clad dime next to a steel washer the same size touching.I still got a good target tone and 180 on the meter with a little wiggle.Norfolk Wolf on You Tube does a nice job showing the recovering speed with the Sovereign and Explorer.I think a smaller coil helps.Because of this null factor and no matter what size coil used, its important to search a grid area going in a North or South direction and then scan the same entire area from a East to West direction.My hypothesis is you will get good targets in the other direction because of a target being null ed out.

I took a 1" fender washer with a 3/16" hole out to the front yard and checked with a GT with 12.5 detech coil. Clad quarter 1" from washer.
Sounded like iron and a non-ferrous interfering with each other from all angles. No clean and distinct coin hit or ID.
Clearly not just a trash hit.....it indicates multiple target.

I took my GT out with the 8" Sunray coil on and tried it.The washer might have been closer than an inch .It would hit it in all directions.I didn't have go super slow.Sometimes the tone wasn't real high but high enough to cause me to slow down and recheck the signal.Then it hit it good.Bill

Will I found out what was going on. I put the 10" coil and tried it and it hit the coin , so I thought that it may be the x5 coil was bad( the x5 will hit a dime at 8" here) . So I called sun ray and he said that with the large coils is call a rap a round effect. Then he told me with x5 coil put the se in iron mask at 32 amd try it. And it did hit the iron & quarter. Sometimes to much disc. and all so to fast of a swing can do it. But thanks for the help.
