Hi guys,there is a lot of talk and heated debate around the forums regarding which is the best VLF detector for searching larger nuggets and relics so I am interested in starting a bit of a competition based on a standard drink can (flattened) test.Everyone has come across them lying on the ground in goldfields,usually flattened. If you come across one do a simple test and post your results here with the make and model of your detector.A MXT/Impact/ Racer 2/F75 type comparison is what I was thinking of and running at 14 to 20 Khz. and gain set at default setting. However the drink can has to be flattened and not standing up on its end, and the test done in air and not buried.
I am getting the ball rolling by including my results- Nokta Impact, all metal mode 12 to 15 inches,loud to good signal. DEEP mode 24 to 27 inches,loud to good signal,not faint. Gain setting 70 percent. Ground mineralisation- high. Using earphones and a 11x7 inch coil.
The LF machines like Gold Bug 2 and Racer Gold will probably not match these depths and mineralisation levels but you can include them in the LF division if you wish and based on a smaller one dollar coin.
Regards,Rob.
