Thats what i was posting about in another thread about PI's. I would dig targets out deep with a PI and could barely find them on the surface. It was driving me nuts.Wonder why the pi wasn't hitting under an inch.

It took almost 30 minutes to untangle the mess but I finally got it. The total length is 19.25". The big loops are a micro fine gauge but almost 1/8" wide while the majority of the chain is 1/16" wide loops. With the help of a bud, we laid the necklace in a straight line on top of a 30" tall box and swung the coils over the box / chain. Keep in mind, I removed the clasp for the test.
With a coil sweep speed of about 1.5 sec / ft, and some major attention to *settings, the following depths were achieved:
- NOX - it can ID the necklace from 0 - 3-1/2"
- CTX - it can ID the necklace from 0 - 4-1/4"
- Excal - it can ID the necklace from 0 - 4"
- PI - it can ID the necklace from 1 - 7". BUT it doesn't see the necklace at 0-1"
While cleaning up, I dropped my phone and shattered the screen. I'm taking it to the shop tomorrow and will see if they can copy my mem card.
Anyhow, in a controlled test and with the right settings, the CTX, Excal, and PI can find the chain and find the chain at greater depths than the NOX.
**Revised to remove settings from public post. If you want the settings info, please PM me.

Itsa...... what size of a coil is she using on her Xcal? I think thats why a lot of targets are missed...... people moving to fast with bad coil control and just not realizing that beep was a target.
