Therefore I am curious with what size mono coil and settings on the QED would be required to produce a similar result with the 50c coin?
Goldman if possible could you do the same test with your QED.
I’m going out to the Maryborough test site this week so will try it out and let you know Cheers Goldman I appreciate that Goldman. Maybe you could also share the results of your planned test at the Marybourgh test site. Also in regards to that 5oz lead test target at that site there seems to be some confusion at what depth it was buried at as I had read it is actually at 26”. One thing that is annoying with testing & results is when there is very little mention of the major settings on the detector that were used such as Search Mode, Soil Timing, Coil/Rx, Gain, Stabilizer, Audio Type for the GPXs. Then you have on the GPZ Gold Mode, Ground Type, Sensitivity, Volume, Audio Smoothing. However if Factory Default settings were mentioned then all of the above is known which had been mentioned for the results in my previous post with the GPX4500 although no mention of which Search mode although I believe it was set in Deep. At least with the QED there appears to be 4 major settings that need to be of mention THS-B,THS-A, Gain & Mode which makes it less complicated. Therefore I look forward to your air test results with the QED & 50c coin and with what coils used.

Of greater interest to potential buyers are the video links below. Consider this, The QED is less than half the price of the SDC. The QED is lighter than the SDC. The QED has 5 year warranty vs 3 years for the SDC.
The QED has vastly superior EMI rejection. The QED can use a much larger range of aftermarket coils. Notice the Sickening Deafening Cacophony of EMI from the SDC.

Gary. that i couldnt tell ya gazz sorry
Thanks D777. It has been a long time since Mick "Mechanic" had posted here on this site. I see "AuMan" signs off with Mick as well over on P'inOz forum. Anyway I have deviated away from the subject of this thread, sorry Goldman. As far as I am concerned when detecting with my QED PL2 out on the goldfield with my Commander 8" mono it would nothing behind for an SDC with its 8" coil. Gary.

Also interesting is the distance difference with the 1oz nugget! Could we see a difference in ground and with a different coil as some detectors prefer some coils over others?
Al.
Yes and as I said a gold nugget is different by its nature, be its Shape and Dimensions, Solid or Prickly surface, other metal content & etc. As far as coils preferring one detector over another then I would have to say No due to the parameters they are built too to operate although I expect if one was to build their own coils a certain leeway is possible. The pic I had attached is the nugget I used for the tests in between two other test targets that I have used. Actually all three produce a similar depth response on my GPX5000 in Normal timing however when switched to Fine Gold timing the Copper test piece drops in depth compared to the Gold and Lead. And for the record the Copper penny produces extra depth than a 50c coin. Gary.
