Anyone with a 2-box?

Those long-haired metric *******s... probably a vegan too.

OK, so today I got my first cache down... 3 pounds (220 count) of US silver quarters. I hit sandrock at 30 inches and that was it for depth. Put the silver in a small plastic container, so the very top is right at 24 inches deep.

Tomorrow I will pull out a few detectors and see what happens.

Great job

Have anyone seen this 2-box? http://www.ceia.net/demining/detail.asp?a=002
It seems used in military

Hum…freshly buried target in a plastic container, eh? Are you sure the “halo” effect, ions and the like will seep through the container? Just kidding.

Well if your Minelab and 2 box detectors won't detect it, it will be time to pull out the "BIG GUN" the RT Examiner.

I'm surprised it could only detect 220 quarters down 24 inches with a 18" Minelab SD. How deep can it detect just one quarter? Hmm, maybe the field tests I saw were in cm, lol. Paul

Round one is complete...

DFX 9.5" coil disc mode -- NO
DFX 9.5" coil all-metal mode -- NO
XL-Pro 9.5" coil disc mode -- NO
XL-Pro 9.5" coil all-metal mode -- NO
GTI2500 12.5" coil disc mode -- NO
GTI2500 12.5" coil all-metal mode -- not sure, very erratic
HeadHunter PI 11" coil all-metal mode -- NO
Discovery TF900 -- not sure, very erratic

The one I thought would work for sure...

XL-Pro 25" coil disc mode -- NO
XL-Pro 25" coil all-metal mode -- NO

Yes, that's a 25-inch Magnum coil on the XL... not even a whisper.

The TF900 and GTI2500 were misbehaving... I need to figure out what's going on with them. In AM mode, the GTI seemed to hit the cache every third or fourth pass.

I have misplace the battery for the SD2200, so I will try to test it in round 2. Also, a Fisher Gemini 3, CZ70, Garrett BFO w/ 24-inch coil, Infinium, Hammerhead w/ 1-meter coil, and Cortes w/ 12x10.

Great sparse quantities of coins no mean you'll detect it easily. Now, an only body with the same weight, is another history. 3 pounds of 200 sparse coins is not equal as 3 pounds (near 1.5 kilos, a pound = 454 g = 0.45 kilo) of an only solid material, this is, a body.

Ok, if you weld the coins, yes you can detect with two boxes at 1 m depth or more.

Metric system:

1 m = 100 cm

1 m = 3 feet = 99 cm (0.99 m)

1 foot = 33 cm

1 m = 0.91 yards, this is the most approximative (91% of 1 meter).

m = meter
cm = centimeter

Hi All
Esteban
can you detect your coins with your three antenna ZAHORİ.
you say your detectors can not find them.what about zahori.can you try for us onces again with zahori.
"
I has buried (since 12 years) a copper ashtray (12 X 12 cm) and in this 51 coins (no nickels, only copper and bronze) of different sizes, include some big perforates from China justly! at 80 cm depth and can't detect with my machines and of mine friends. Today over the objects there are floor and construction.

In other part (free of construction) there are 53 bronze coins medium size at 85 cm and also can't detect.

OF COURSE, in metalic jar is possible to detect at this depth, maybe 1 meter or more...

Crank up the ion sensitivity on those units!

I completely agree... a large, unbroken surface area supports larger eddy current paths, which will present a stronger signal than the sum of all the smaller coin signals.

Oh yeah, tried the CZ7 w/ 8" coil, nothing.

No, only very old items.

My brother-in-law has a site in wich the landlord suspect the existence of a treasure. My brother-in-law and his wife runs in the property and the Zahori was quiet all the time. But in the site supossed is the treasure, they found a hole and the Zahori start the alarms near the hole, no in the excavation. After this continuoslly detection, the Zahori stop in the alarms. Later I make a revision: the first 3130 "burns" by excessive voltage produced by the buried object: that confirm me, one more time, the existence of a kind of electricity produced by metal buried for long time, don't know ionic, by yes electric phenomenom.

At 2 feet

2 feet = 66 cm

Test with 1 kg coins:

Hi Carl.
Very good test but i wait the Hammerhead with 1m coil. I believe that it will pass the test.

Someone passed on the following air test data that came from Minelab. Using only an 11" monoloop coil a Minelab GP3500 can detect a U.S. quarter 35 cm away.
