Why the GND Reading Doesn't Tell You "How Bad the Ground Is"

[Anonymous]

I thought it was mainly iron in the soil which caused most problems for vlf detectors? Would not high iron content in the ground then indicate "bad ground" or high mineralization in detector terms? Other than salt and iron, what other minerals interfere with vlf performance?And in such case, would not a smaller or dd coil be the better choice, when the mxt reports high ground numbers- after all such coils do see less ground volume?
