After reading many posts from different people on various websites regarding which detector is better than the other, I've come to the conclusion that one really cannot put a lot of weight on these testimonials.. I have searched some properties near my home in southern France and found coins. After I have done a 'thorough' search, I have decided to do a 'once more' search and found additional coins... How could this be?? I did a 'thorough search'. The only thing different is that I either did a slower search or perhaps it could have been that I did some minor tweaking with the MD?! Perhaps the ground/air condition was a little different or that there is more or less moisture in the soil? After having done a 'once more' search, I waited a week or so. Getting a little bored and seeing the property (again) right across the street, I decided to 'tweak' my unit a little more (different adjustments). I then do a "last time" search. What happened? Yep, I found some more coins!!
When people give testimonials that they searched the same ground that another person searched and got better results and then come to the conclusion that it is because they have a better detector, then I seriously question their conclusion. Perhaps it is because they, on that given day, had their MD adjusted more appropriately for the conditions present or they were doing a better sweep, or ......
Yes, there can be some detectors better than others. However, I would caution many that it may not always be the detector but rather the detectorist. That is where I focus primarily as I have a lot to learn..
Is there yet more coins in that ole field? Should I search it just once more?!.... We'll see.
