More data.
Note this pic.
This ring the small ring used in tests earler here.
This testing conducted on fresh water sanded beach.
All detect modes tested except for gold 2 mode.
I buried this ring at different depths many times and the same depth many times in order to get what I thought was good solid data.
Ring was biroed moreso with opening upwards.
This ring is small and is 10k.
Best performing detect modes for depth.
Park 2 and Gold 1 detect modes.
At 10” deep both ofnthese modes give good solid signal and great ID of ring.
Good runnners up were park 1 and field 1.
Next best beach 1
Then field 2
Beach 2 lousy.
Speeds of 4 and 5 yielded voth good tone and good ID at 10”depth using park 2 and gold 1 modes.
I could almost get as good a signal using park 1 and field 1 if I keep speed slower but ID dodgy.
With ring at 7.5”deep park 2 speed 6, sound like target practically on top of sand/ground. Strong.
Beach 2, poor performer at depth, I would never use likely on freshwater beach period.
Using gold 1 and comparing to park 2, signal stronger at 10” slightly vs park 2, by running down sens level and comparing.
ID though when comparing gold 1 and park 2 ID on deep ring similar qualitty wise even though gold 1 signal stronger.
I could hear 10”deep ring using gold 1and park 2, no ID present speed 7, speed 6 ID more hit and miss, level 5 ID gets solid.
I did experiment with depths deeper than 10”.
It seemed there was a small window like estimated 1/2” where Nox would yield nonferrous tone although weak, but ID in error or nonexistant.
No detection at 12” with any mode.
Some detection sporadic at 11” though.
10.5” detection was there but ID hit and miss, but was there, would read lower than rings actual airtest reading though.
And chasing things that read 2,3 and 4, anhone whomhas used a. Ox on saltwater beach or even land,,,,expect real small whatever made of aluminum or other low conductor.
