Air test on 5 different detectors today

[trezurhunter]

The weather is terrible outside. We just got about ten inches of snow and I'm going crazy. So I air tested 5 of my detectors today. I have a White's XLT, a 6000 di pro sl, a Fisher 1236 X2, a Tesoro Silver Sabre umax, and a Troy Shadow X5. Here are my results.

1. White's XLT using the stock 9in coil, relic mode.
I had a nickel air test at 8 1/2 inches.
I had a dime air test at 8 inches.

2. White's 6000 di pro sl using the 8 inch coil, all settings at preset, signal bal. max.
I had a nickel air test at 10 inches.
I had a dime air test at 10 inches.

3. Fisher 1236-X2 using the stock 8 in coil, sens @ 8, disc @ 2, silencer off.
I had a nickel air test at 7 inches.
I had a dime air test at 7 inches.

4. Tesoro Silver Sabre umax using the stock 8 in coil, disc @ 2, sens set to max.
I had a nickel air test at 8 inches.
I had a dime air test at 7 inches.

5. Troy Shadow X5 using the 7 in coil, disc @ 3, sens @ 8.
I had a nickel air test at 12 inches.
I had a dime air test at 11 inches.

I don't know if these tests will help anybody but I just did them because I am snowed in, and I was curious as to see what my detectors would do.

Interesting comparison. My Silver Sabre umax test pretty much the same as yours and I have a DeLeon that will beat those figures by an inch or so with the 7" concentric coil.
