Nexus Silver Scout Range Of Coils + 9' Inch Coil Test
NOTE - There is a limited to the size of the iron you can discriminate out for unmasking to be successful.
In the first two videos below I've demonstrated the ability of the Nexus standard MP V2 metal detector and the 9' silver scout coil to separate and unmask a silver six pence in close proximity to iron. I could've tuned the iron out even more but you'll get a good idea on how both the detector and coil performs. The third video demonstrates the ability of both the 9' inch silver scout coil and Standard MP V2 detector on Monte Berry's nail board test, very few, if any detector can pass this. The Nexus silver scout range comes in two sizes, 9' inch and 11.5' inch, they run at 24khz, designed as super fast recovery coils. They pick up all targets but silver is their speciality.
Each coil is made individually by hand and checked before being shipped out so you're getting the highest of quality. Nothing that Nexus makes is mass-produced, everything is built to order. The first 'short' demonstration below shows both the separation and unmasking abilities of the 9' inch silver scout on an old silver 6 pence and a large iron peg.
This Is The First & Last Video I Made Performing A Demo On Concrete
The second video demonstrates the same separation and unmasking test swapping the large iron peg for a couple of small iron nails. When I analyse both these short videos and compare them to more recent tests and findings, a slower swing speed actually allows the machine to punch harder on the penny. Using the the 9' inch silver scout out in the field is a very pleasurable experience, it's light and super sensitive. Even with the sensitivity on zero I was detecting small non-ferrous targets 'buttons' up to 9 inches down from a field I just couldn't seem to pick up anymore signals from when using Equinox 800.
I'll write more of a comprehensive review on both the 9' inch and the 11.5' inch silver scout coils once I've put a serious amount of hours in the field with them. The 11.5' inch is currently being made for me so it's going to be interesting to see the differences between that and the 9' inch, so far, the short time I've been using the 9' inch coil, the results are looking very promising.
UPDATED SEPTEMBER 2022
Now having put a serious amount of hours in using the 9' inch silver I can confirm, just like it's bigger brother, it's a highly superior coil to anything I've used in regards to separation and unmasking. It hit's on the smallest of targets and is especially good at detecting coins on edge at depth. The deepest target I've dug with the 9' inch SS was a wafer thin thimble that was full of mud, it wasn't far off 13' inch down. The signal was strong and at one point I almost gave up digging because I thought that it might've been a false signal. The point I'm trying to make here, don't underestimate the 9' inch SS, it might only be small and running at a high frequency but it's perfectly capable of punching deep. Due to the ability of the Nexus MP machines to detect in ground deeper than in air, you can find the machine does pull off some pretty crazy feats in regards to just how deep and can go.
