[QUOTE="Nugget, post: 1827, member: 3"] Great tip Dave. I believe air testing still has its place but as previously pointed out its not a true depth measurement. The issue with both the bucket method and the air test method is that different soil and ground conditions can have an adverse effect of depth penetration, so even though the bucket method does use soil between the coil and target, it still cant be regarded as a true depth measurement but rather a rough indication. Generally people air test to compare depth performance of one machine against another and not so much to determine true depth, and for comparison sake I believe its a simple and effective method.
