VIKING VK 20
Comments Not as good as the cheaper Viking 5 depth wise , but better performing among iron Pros Has a readout Nicely built Cons Not great, but OK for a cheap detector |
||||
|
DEPTH TESTS The depth tests are set up to gauge the power of the detector, all iron is removed from the hole. Various size items are buried at good depths |
||||
|
COIL SIZE |
||||
|
Standard 8’’ coil |
||||
|
CAN A CARTWHEEL PENNY BURIED AT 16’’ GIVE A SIGNAL |
NO |
|||
|
GEORGE 111 HALFPENNY MAXIMUM DEPTH |
7’’ |
|||
|
5 PENCE MAXIMUM DEPTH |
6’’ |
|||
|
CUT ¼ OF HAMMERED PENNY MAXIMUM DEPTH |
N/A |
|||
|
CAN A HOARD OF 100 MIXED COINS BURIED AT 18’’ GIVE A SIGNAL |
NO |
|||
|
DISCRIM TESTS The tests below are to see if the detector is capable of giving a signal on a non ferrous target while iron is placed on top of it and around it at different depths |
||||
|
CAN I GET A SIGNAL FROM A 20 PENCE BURIED AT 8’’ 2 NAILS BURIED AT 2’’ DIRECTLY ABOVE IT |
NO |
|||
|
CAN I GET A SIGNAL FROM A 20 PENCE BURIED AT 8’’ 2 NAILS BURIED AT 5’’ DIRECTLY ABOVE IT |
NO |
|||
|
CAN A GET A SIGNAL FROM A 20 PENCE BURIED AT 8’’ 2 NAILS SITTING ON TOP OF COIN |
NO |
|||
|
CAN I GET A SIGNAL FROM A HAMMERED PENNY 20 NAILS ALL AROUND IT BURIED AT 2’’ |
YES |
|||
|
CAN I GET A SIGNAL FROM A HAMMERED COIN BURIED AT 2’’ A LARGE/RUSTY IRON HOOK IS BURIED 3’’ BELOW IT |
YES |
|||
|
CAN I GET A SIGNAL FROM A HAMMERED PENNY NEXT TO 4’’ BOLT BURIED AT 2’’ |
YES |
|||
|
CAN I GET A SIGNAL FROM A 20 PENCE BURIED AT 2’’ 2 NAILS ALSO BURIED AT 2’’-NAILS 4’’ APART COIN BETWEEN THEM |
YES |
|||
|
CAN I GET A SIGNAL FROM A 20 PENCE BURIED AT 5’’ 2 NAILS BURIED AT 2’’ DIRECTLY ABOVE IT-4’’ APART |
YES |
|||
|
CAN I GET A SIGNAL FROM A 20 PENCE BURIED AT 8’’ WITH 2 NAILS BURIED AT 2’’ DIRECTLY ABOVE IT 4’’ APART |
NO |
|||
|
CAN I GET A SIGNAL FROM A 20 PENCE BURIED AT 6’’ WITH 4 NAILS BURIED AT 5’’ DIRECTLY ABOVE IT 4 NAILS AT 7’’ DIRECTLY BELOW IT AND 4 NAILS ON THE SAME LEVEL |
NO |
|||
|
COKE/SENSITIVITY A few low conductive targets will give the same signal as Coke , so if you are rejecting Coke you may miss them |
||||
|
CAN IT FIND A GOLD CHAIN WHEN COKE IS REJECTED |
NO |
|||
|
CAN IT FIND A LOW CONDUCTIVE CUT ¼ WHEN COKE IS REJECTED |
NO |
|||
|
CAN A GOLD CHAIN BE FOUND WHEN COKE IS NOT REJECTED |
NO |
|||
|
CAN A LOW COND CUT ¼ BE FOUND WHEN COKE IS NOT REJECTED |
NO |
|||
|
CAN IT FIND A LOW CONDUCTIVE VERY THIN SILVER EARRING BURIED AT 2’’ |
NO |
