[QUOTE="claudius, post: 230280, member: 6959"] You did me a very big favor with those tests, and your precision. I don't even know, what to say. It is awesome! They gave me a lot of information: 1. First, all metal mode was not better than fast disc mode (Fors Gold). And that is so strange to me, since so many people made it very clear, that I must use only all metal mode to detect a needle. 2. Second, angle matters. I now know for sure, I need to move the things I check around, and from different angles. 3. Third, coil size does not matter (5" vs. 11x7"). Many people suggested I must buy and extra coil (a small one), if I want to have a better distance. 4. Frequency does not matter (?). I see that Fors CoRe (14kHz) did better than dedicated to gold hunting Fors Gold (19 kHz) and XT18000 (you did not give the frequency, but I suppose you used a higher one). Fors Core gave best results, but I see your needle was big - mine are 3,3cm, which makes a great difference. I would be satisfied by 8cm, so it is possible that Fors Core would get the results with a smaller needle, and across coil. I will go through those unit's specifications more carefully, and try to get more information out of what you wrote. [/QUOTE]
