Silver Umax ,nail board test with sharpshooter & beefy cut nails
- Thread starter kaolinwasher
- Start date
Thew Nail Board test does give you a very good indication on how the detector will react in those type of situations,but i must admit although we have nails as well over here in the UK the ones we have are much smaller,the most commen i would have said was say hob nails that romans used on footwear to gain additional life from them,of course on a Roman active site you could stand the chance of finding possibly 1000s on a site that has been going for a few hundred years as we do on one of our sites.
So the hob nails that we find are of course very old and rusty but much smaller than the ones used in the Nail Board test,the test of course will give you a very good indication on how a detector will work on one of these trashy sites but the result could and would be slightly different,on these type of sites a smaller coil is the best way forward for better target seperation.
Gunner,its a very good video and shows how good the Silver Umax is,some of the older Tesoro machines with a smaller coil on really are one of the best detectors to use on such sites,as the discrimination from these detector/coil combinations are some of the best going and most modern machines still can struggle on such a site.

Test with stock coil on the way I also used some small er nails and it did much better , the field of power on those big nails is just going to dominate no matter what detector used , but a small er coil is probably best

Now with the Concentric [video]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e_A5L_WdRVw&list=UUfFZXjVZpEw1JYpyToWP_fQ[/video]
I enjoyed the video and it reinforces how important it is to hit sites at different angles....low and slow and as stated above with smaller coils when the detector starts to sound like a machine gun. While watching the video I was imagining a "hockey puck" coil on there and what it might sound like at the different angles of swing while at the same time taking note of the Sharpshooter. Good job and thanks for the video Gunnar!
