I agree with you that's why i entitled the video an AIR DEPTH TEST....

@@WeirdGuyInPark The problem isn't that it is an "air depth test". Such tests can be informative. It's the WAY the test is being done. And you can see the results of such tests right here in your comments. Several people are taking your results as being indicative of how the detector actually performs and are walking away with the feeling that this is some ridiculously deep machine. It is, and then again, it isn't. If you want to do a GOOD test for yourself to see what I mean, try the following test. 1. Get a friend to help you. 2. Close your eyes. 3. Have your friend start AWAY from the coil, not next to it. 4. Have your friend RANDOMLY pass a coin across the coil ONE TIME. After passing the coin across the coil, wait a randomized amount of time, move 1 inch closer to the coil, and repeat. 5. When you think you hear a sound that would make you stop and dig, open your eyes and check the actual depth. 6. Remember, your friend needs to be completely random. If they use a consistent rhythmic swing then your ears will pick up on the rhythmic nulling sound and it will ruin the test. Your friend's goal should be to fool you and try to hide the fact that the coin is passing over the coil. You can do this test without a friend if you are honest with yourself. I guarantee you that you will not be seeing a quarter at 15 inches. It will be more like 8-10 inches. Which is still great, but not anywhere near the levels you are getting. If you posted online that the Simplex could pick up a quarter at 8" most people would yawn. The thing that makes the Simplex excel in your type of test is that by having it constantly chirping like a rabid squirrel, it acts a bit like the typical "all metal mode" of most detectors that emit a constant hum. When you pass the coin across the coil, it "nulls out" the chirping for a split second. So passing the coin across the coil ONE time like in normal detecting will not produce much of an nulling effect. It will not be distinguishable from the normal chatter. But waving a coin across the coil like a mad man a dozen times produces a consistent nulling that can be detected by your ears and makes you think the detector is actually giving you a valid detection at that depth. Technically, it IS giving you a valid detection at that depth. The problem is, this repeated "nulling" type of detection is not something you can utilize in every day detecting because you can't reproduce the test out in the field. No one detects by swinging their coil back and forth a dozen times in one spot. Again, I hope you are not taking this as a personal attack. I have seen your type of test done at least a dozen times out here on KZfaq. So my comments are general comments about the machine and how people are testing and not specifically about your test. Thanks for posting. I enjoy the channel!

@@mtslyh I just dug a wheat penny at 10inch with the Simplex yesterday and the VDI gave a readout..That's about where the vdi cuts out on the air test.. It's all up to the user if the're gonna chase those faint signals...

Yes, correct what you said

@@WeirdGuyInPark of course depth in the ground depends on the level of the ground mineral. Etc.

This is not an accurate test. See my comment above. I like my Simplex but I do not find it to be that much deeper than my other detectors. It excels in this test only because this is not a "real world" test.

When in doubt dig it out lol i sing myself that little thing every time I go detecting lol

Thanks...

It it's gonna take me some time as wel to get use to the Simplex ..Feel way more comfortable with my old GTA.

Do you recommend Simplex or Ecuinox800??

@@anast1495 Depends your budget and what kind of hunting your doing both have good warranties the simplex can take a better beating vs the minelab but the minelab has more advanced options, both are water proof, if your doing beach hunting I would go for the minelab, if you are just metal detecting like once in a while and not to serious about it go for the simplex it's a great machine that folds down to a small size, super easy to transport. good luck on your choice both are good machines but I have seen more problems with the minelab then the simplex.

Cool looking foraward to it..

Maybe the dime fell on edge when he burried it...A 8 inch dime on edge would give any detector a hard time..

That's about right..

did you buy one?

I overlaid the vdi video with Sony Vegas Pro Crop and Pan effect..Look it up on youtube there are tutorials on how to do it..

Depends on how large the item is..

Even if it's not important it only takes 3 seconds to ground balance..Do it anyways..

👍👍@@WeirdGuyInPark

Get a Simplex and keep the other detectors is what i'd do..I think you can now get a 13inch coil for the simplex also..

@@WeirdGuyInPark I also feel like a weird guy in the park at times, especially when there are soccer games going on lol i always feel like the soccer moms are looking at me as if i was doing something wrong lol

@@patprop74 Ya same here...Where i detect iv'e only seen 2 people with a detector in 40 years...So ya people look at us weird..lol

@@WeirdGuyInPark i have been detecting for 4 years now and I have yet to see someone else detecting lol I really wouldn't mind having another 36 years without running into someone else lol Judging by the amount of stull i pull out of the ground in local parts and woodlands around me, it's safe to say no ones has detected this area.

I started off using field mode...2 tone...But the park mode tones are nice...

Weird Guy In Park Thanks for your feedback✌🏽

ground balance is important or not ??

Inches..

inches

I could hear it..

Ya the vdi stops showing but it's up to the user if they want to chase the deep faint targets..
