[QUOTE="Goldtarget, post: 362677, member: 2152"] Why would you want the gain set at default? Wouldn't the aim be to get the maximum test depth? I'll humour the strange request with results but I'm not sure what it will prove. I've dug some deep holes when I had alot less time on the machine as a flattened drink can ring up similar to gold coins. Simply pinpointing the surface area of the target will determine if it's a coin or can. Air tests don't really mean much, ignoring ground conditions means a very +/- depth indication. When it's wet in mild clay I can get a signal that will go a lot deeper than an air test, equally detecting hot dry ground that is highly mineralised will take depth away, The variation is pretty extradinary being many fold different on a coin size object. I'll get the tests done before I go for a swing today, I can almost certainly assure you whatever the air test is on a dollar coin with standard gain it won't be the maximum depth I've detected them, but I'll put some oxygen in a shriveled baloon.
