Metal Detector Shoot-Out
Continued Page Two

Here the Whites GM-3 has the Gold Max coil on it, it could see the target
coin at 10 inches, barely. Just for fun I fired up the Minelab and as expected
it SCREAMED at me.

This is the Minelab GP Extreme with stock 11 inch DD coil. The target is at
12 inches and the detector sees it no problem. The Garrett, Tesoro, and Whites
have been left in the dust now, they make no indication at this depth. I moved
the target to 14 inches and this is where the stock Minelab started to lose it.

Still at 14 inches and I changed the coil to a 17 inch Mini UFO by Coiltek. Now the
thing growls like a junk yard dog at me. Gotta move it deeper for this coil / combo.

Finaly at 18-19 inches I lose the signal, I still had a solid growl at 16-17 so thats
the limit with this Mini UFO in this ground. Also note that the Minelab works in
highly mineralized areas where the others would be sounding off with false signals
everywhere. This is a huge plus with the Minelabs to be able to work those areas.
So thats it, I hope you found this test as interesting as I did.
