Am I Given Free Metal Detectors?

Am I Given Free Metal Detectors? There's a very quick and simple answer to the question above - NO! I'm not given any free machines to shamelessly promote through my small and almost pointless YouTube channel. Unlike a lot of people out there I can't be purchased for any amount of money or free products. A little while back I made a video showing all the payments "I could find" that I'd made to Nexus metal detectors because I'd been accused by some very sad and pathetic individuals of being a Nexus shill. The above point can be demonstrated with all the machines that I use, it's really very simple, if I see a handmade analog detector that looks interesting I will purchase it, use it, make videos with it and write about it. Unfortunately due to social media we now live in a very pathetic universe where people will literally do and say anything if it means they can get free products, views and subscribers. These three elements mean absolutely fuck all to...

Inverted Phase Signals On Some Small Lead 'Micro Blog'

I've explained about inverted phase signals in the past, these can mainly occur on mineralised rocks both large and small. But they can also occur on some types of lead depending on the size and how close it is to the coil, once you know what to look and listen for they're really easy to spot. To explain it in the most simplistic way possible, as you swing over the target it won't lock on in the centre of the coil, you'll get an audio and meter response off each side of the coil so basically at the end of each swing. 

Inverted Phase Signals Can Occur On Some Lead Targets 

The size and strength of both the audio and meter response varies in relation to the size of the target you're swinging over. Large hot rocks will make the audio "CLANG" really hard, small targets like lead will give a softer indication. On these softer inverted phase indications all you have to do is lift the coil up a few inches and swing again. If the target now locks on in the centre of the coil with a sweet non-ferrous response, dig it. One thing that I also like to do is suss out the target size, once I've lifted the coil and got the desired response I will X over the signal and draw my coil forwards and backwards. I use this method when I'm identifying large iron as well.
