At the same time, a small non-ferrous target (for exam- ple, a small medieval coin) lying at the same level or slightly higher than iron, the device at maximum sensitivity may simply not distinguish in the general signal received by the coil from these objects.
  • Page 17: Ground Balance

    Departement of international trade: https://aka-md.com | +74957991510 | akadetector@yandex.ru GROUND BALANCE Balancing the device to the ground is the single most important part of the device settings for accurate search results. Improper ground balanc- ing can result in decreased responses to targets and may result in insta- bility as well as an increase in false ground signals.

For example, if you are air testing a large copper coin that would normally give a VDI of +82 to +84 but is now air testing with a VDI of -86.

This can be due to the uneven or lumpy nature of the soil.

Due to a sharp decrease in the influence of soil on the signal, the hodograph looping on large iron targets, such as pieces of roofing, agri- cultural implements, crumpled buckets, partially broken cast irons, etc., has much greater visibility, which provides an additional identification information for an experienced operator.
