Kingswood: Wish you well but not very fair for the VALLON I think. We will see though. Both coils alone weigh more than the VALLON.
3+ pounds and 4+ pounds respectively. I have swung the 14 x 13 super D and it's a beast. Good luck and fingers crossed for you.

Carolina...useful learning exercise!

I also bought a vmh3cs yesterday, hopefully it will be here next week.
Is the someone around here who have experience with the stick probe for this detector? It is made for bomb finding so maybe its very interesting for the WW2 guys (like me) here.
Or someone here does have experience tips how to make a probe buy yourself for this detector?

There is also the vxc1 also with probe looks pretty much the same to me as the vmh3cs

Go back to post 216. Starting there, and the following posts, are to do with making a probe for the VMH3CS.

Originally posted by Teleno View PostThe late damping not only allows for early sampling, it also provides for a half-cosine I(t) at the Tx coil, which has a higher dI/dt at lower levels than the usual exponential damping. dI/dt enhances the short-time constant response.!!!
Can someone explain it in simple terms for the simple man???

Nice that you are shearing all the information.
Did you tested it on large metal objects? The depth for large objects is the interesting part for ww2 guys like me.

For small objects with short eddy current decay times you need a fast switch-off, even when the current is approaching zero. The dI/dt, or rate of switch-off with time must always be faster than the time constant of the object, otherwise signal is lost. With a half cosine TX pulse cut-off shape, the rate of switch-off speeds up as the current approaches zero which gives the signal from a small target a last microsecond boost.

Do you mean the depth of large objects using the probe, or the depth of large objects using the standard coil?
30cm and 60cm diameter coils are available from Vallon at huge cost and for use as a UXO detector. I have made a 38cm round coil which works fine and would be great for WW2 relics. However, if it is the probe performance you want, I can do some tests.
By the way, the Vallon stick probe looks out sideways rather than downward. Maybe it is just a small rectangular coil held lengthways in a tube. My probe is a ferrite cored solenoid type coil.
