Hi All !

Attached are a two graphic images showing sinewaves of two different coil signal frequencies. These sinewaves are representative of the coil signals produced by single frequency metal detectors like my White's Classic II 6.5 kHz frequency (wide peak-to-peak distance) and my Tesoro Compadre's 12 kHz (more narrow-compressed peak-to-peak distance).

As you see from the graphic illustrations, when the Frequency increases, for example from 6.5 kHz to 12 kHz, the peaks become more compressed, resulting in more sinewave peaks per inch.

This information should help metal detecting newbies understand some of the effects of higher coil signal Frequencies and add to their knowledge base.

Have a great day !
