[QUOTE="Reg Wilson, post: 507786, member: 10941"] ironrock, the only point I may question is whether using the deepest setting on each machine would be the most practical method of testing. The deepest setting may be totally impractical for ordinary use. I would rather see each machine balanced, tuned and set to operate in a usable manner in the general area of the test before being passed over the target. I have witnessed impressive target responses on a test bed, only to find the same machine false signalling all over the place when moved off the test pad. I have even seen situations where a hole bored vertically into the ground still gave off a signal after the target (on a string) was removed from the hole due to the fact that the detector was totally over tuned and was reacting to the hole itself.
