that is interesting findings there those TR's do well in iron too ? maybe we have gone backwards :biggrin:
it has been a learner for me to keep an eye out for those 01 type numbers never know what's hiding there :unsure:
thanks everyone for joining in and please post up any other findings all helps us all find more goodies !!

AJ,
You are most welcome. :)
TR's do indeed do extremely well in iron. Most TR's will embarrass modern machines in a nail-board test.
The heck with putting the nail close to a zinc penny...you can put the nail directly on top of the penny...sometimes two nails...no problem at all.
As Jason pointer out however, once you add even a little mineralization to the ground, detection depth quickly suffers.
And that did indeed kill off the T/R units overnight.
It's one of the reasons I find the CTX so awesome...I've hunted with about every detector made, starting with a BFO in 1973...and I've seen their limits first-hand.
I fully understand how amazing the tech behind the CTX is, and can really appreciate how it will allow us to go deep in almost any soil condition, and still give us so much (mostly) accurate information.
(And even adjust compensation for the trash and/or mineralization to make it even easier.)
I certainly don't think it's perfect in every way, but compared to the older machines the CTX is a space shuttle compared to a Spad. :)
