In general, small search coils offer great detection depths on small metal objects while large search coils offer the highest possible detec- tion depths on big objects.

INTERFERENCE The LORENZ DEEPMAX Z2 was developed to ignore Near transmitters or when other metal detectors most electromagnetic interference EMI received are working close to the DEEPMAX Z2 interferences by the search coil. In some cases however there could also be expected. In general interference will are very strong interferences produced by power increase with the size of the search coil.
