Great info, thank you, would there be any negative results just leaving it in 31 all the time? I see you list a Deus in your detector list . So why the ORX ??? Your thoughts??

31 khz does not penetrate into the ground as deep as 13/14 khz and does not hit as hard on deeper high conductors, so you could lose some detection depth on high conductors (e.g., silver coins). If you mainly relic hunt, 25 31 khz is a great frequency because it hits hard on mid-conductive targets like brass, lead, and gold (but also aluminum). For coin shooting, a lower frequency is preferred unless those pesky bottlecaps are driving you crazy.

Wonder if the X35 coil would eliminate the bottlecap in its highest frequency????

It will make the steel bottle cap have a clipped response. Similar to how it does when I switch it to 31 khz in coin deep in the video.
