PRISM IV OPERATING FREQUENCY & DEPTH ANYBODY KNOW ?
I am considering buy one.Since I have two other detector,this is the deciding factor is it:
# Type I VLF: Type I instruments operate near the 5-6 KHz range. These detectors have an affinity for iron artifacts and exhibit exceptional sensitivity to metal items on the high end of the conductivity spectrum i.e. brass, copper and silver.
or is it
# Type II VLF: The Type II detectors generally have an operating frequency near 10-15 kHz. These instruments are intrinsically sensitive to metal targets of mid range conductivity such as aluminum, lead, nickel; gold and small irregularly shaped artifacts. The Type II is typically less sensitive to small iron artifacts making this a better choice for working in and around concentrations of ferrous debris.
thanks
