Technical / Re: Detech Coils

I finally decided to buy a Detech 15 x 12 DD coil, after 2 days of detecting and fiddling with the new frequency mod fitted by Woody.
I can say that this coil works about 50% better than the wallaby 17 x 11 DD that I used to have and another freaky thing I discovered, is that I am getting the coil to discriminate in Mono mode, definitely only on one side of the coil, that means I am also getting 15 x 7 mono coil that will discriminate.
I contacted Stinky Pete and he confirmed that he has experienced the same effect, but can't say if all the DD coils will do this and also he can't say why they do it.
working Pink lead at Inglewood using discriminate mode I have found 3 .22 slugs and a 10gram piece of lead at depth and definitely not dug up before, so I am finding targets missed by others, just need gold now.
