ok gregg i have done the tests on the phone with regtons airtest on a pre decimal penny is expected by regtons admission to sound off at 14 to 15 inches these are not my figures these are their figures, ok coil lost the sound at 11 inches i am waiting until tomorrow to talk to a knowlegeable deus owner before i travel dowm to regtons with my machine. no one wants to make waves no one wants to run before they can walk honest using the regular out of the box programes six out of the nine programes will not sound off at a roman coin 6 inches down measured with a ruler at the side of it if you have any explanations for this i will be only to pleased to listen all i am doing is protecting my investment and at this early stage of ownership making sure that the detector is working correctly.

I wouldnt want to dig down 11in on pasture ...let alone 15in ...and Im a fit bloke whos used to shovelling (ex-railway worker).......at that rate if you did have to dig down that far I think your patience of digging them would wain after the first 10 or so.......I hope the other deus user sorts you out tomorrow.....good luck GREG

Yes I will be interested to hear what happens. i still have my concerns but i am just going to carry on until something gives, maybe a Hammy ? then i can dance like Greg

GREG GREG GREG it isnt a matter of digging down 15 inches no one in their right mind would expect that depth this is what they call a bench test where regtons can see if they have a problem they use a pre decimal coin as they know the content they know the distance the coil should be sounding off in THE AIR you are right you wouldnt want to dig that deep but it just wouldnt happen do you understand please say you do as it is hard enough sorting the problem out with the detector without coming on here and seeing inaccurate statements that are nothing to do with the reality of the situation

it is not my test who am i to argue with regtons if that is the way they sort out if they have a problem or not. if nigel says send the control and coil back as he is not happy then that is what i am prepared to do sorry if that upsets people i will stay off here and then you can happily talk about how great your machines are i am very sad you have taken this stance as i have only posted information to help the newbies SO SAD

From the Link you posted Greg

Q: I have been told metal detectors work deeper in the soil than in air is this true ?
A: No if a machine performs badly in air it will not exceed in the soil.

And that has been my experience since starting detecting 20 years ago.

Thankyou for your post this is probably the reason regtons do the air test how you have explainied it makes it so simple for people to understand cos i am just trying to see why i am losing so much depth thank you again

i have done the air test with them on the phone and a pre decimal penny faded at 11 inches when he expected 14 to 15 inches

Ask Nigel to put a video up on youtube of his penny at 15" airtest. 11-12" sounds about right to me Sugar.

thanks for that info nice to know where you think it should be i will do this test with the deus that is coming on site tonight , i will be very happy to prove my deus is ok so i am working on it to gain confidence thanks again as i respect your thoughts

[Tombs]

im not adding to a problem its a debating forum and anyone can join in hun ...from what ive read airtests are useless anyway and thats from people who on a regular basis show finds on here and good finds at that....and maybe the reality of this situation is ...you dont understand the machine

kind regards

greg wind you neck in mate, do you even have a deus?

Please don't unjustifiably say 'airtests are useless'. You could just as easily say ground tests are 'equally useless', as no patch of ground is the same as another.
In this context, Regtons and Sugar are comparing identical machines in an inert 'ground', namely air, which is the same everywhere. This is a valid use of an airtest.
