Thanks again Reg, and for your detailed test results, including the 25" and 38" monos. My 30 test result on my alum drink can was inside my house using the factory pre-settings on my QED with external speaker and my 18 mono. So after reading your results I thought how much further I could raise...

Reg, using a 375ml Nelsen Country Kentucky Blended Bourbon aluminium can swung side-on in an air test above my early series 4 spoke NF 18" mono on my QED (settings B-50 A-30 G-1 M-3) I got a clear signal response at 30".

Thanks Reg and yes the depth results I look forward too also. The reason for using the aluminium drink can is it can represent a large test target and it is a constant test object easily attainable for such a comparison.

Reg I am currently looking at a 25" mono for my QED although I am wondering how much extra depth the 25" coil would have over my 18" mono on larger targets to make the purchase of the 25" mono a worthwhile investment for my QED. Therefore could you perform an air test using an aluminium soft...

If you are referring to my results then it seems to me you are saying that my results are either true or not true?

I have found so far with my Commander 8" mono coil on both my QED set for max response on small targets and on my GPX 5000 in its Fine Gold setting the QED matched the 5000 on nuggets from sub gram up to 2 grams. Also matched the 5000 on 1 gram and 4 gram specimens. Although on a larger 3/4 oz...

PhaseTech in regards to the Cancel position, apart from transmitting using the left winding then receiving using both left and right windings does the out of phase mean it then produces an inverted signal response?

Cando I am really enjoying reading about your experiences out in the field with your QED along with your settings and pics as well. I own a GPX5000 as well as a QED and I feel both can complement one another with each having an advantage that the other hasn't. Also I take both detectors with me...

Yes I absolutely agree PhaseTech as my traditional wound Advantage Nuggetfinders work better in hotter ground than my flat wound Evo. Also another nuisance thing with the flat winding type coils is trying to pinpoint the exact position of nugget in the ground before you dig. Even trying to...

Can't help you out Cando in regards to those Detech coils on the QED, wish I could. Weight wise the 15" x 10" is slightly lighter at around 20grams and near on the same price wise as the 11" Ultra price, well brand new price that is. And the 18" x 12" weight wise is around 210grams lighter as...

Thanks mbasko for your reasoning regarding the air test chart that I have eluded too. Also the info regarding headphones, those settings for your coils and test report. Since I have a 12 Evo have you compared it to the 11 Ultra on your QED and any settings that you found to best suit the 12 Evo...

Maybe the Gain at 1 does not suit the 11" Detech as much as it does for my 12" Evo?

Yes I take your point Cando so why the chart of air tests was published in the first place by the developer of the QED is the question I ask. But hey keep your reports flowing in as it all helps to understand how this detector works.

The Koss UR- 30 headphones have an Impedance of 100 ohms however the headphones I have used on the QED have an Impedance of 32 ohms. The Sennheiser RS160 headphones also have an Impendance of 32 ohms so whether the Impendance has anything to do on how well a headphone works on the QED?

Cando it will be of interest on how you feel that 14" elite compares to the 11" Ultra on your QED. Btw in regards to me questioning those air depth results of 15" on a $2 coin and 17" on a $1 coin that I was unable to attain with a 12" Evo then as AEGF says the QED will be demonstrated at the...

Thanks Cando for your report. When you mentioned you have the QED2 version from Detech I take it to look the same as the one in the latest pictures that "grubstake" posted in the the "QED info thread" which is different to my version. Sounds like the Detech 11" ultra coil is the go to coil...

Thanks Cando and as petere says a nice post. As I have an advantage I would also be interested on Cando's choice in regards to the Detech 11" Ultra coil? Especially now having used both on his QED during his trip.

Yes thanks again as I do need to refer to the QED manual more so being a newbie, good advice. AEGPF from the amount of knowledge that you are prepared to share with us newbies do you have a preferred coil for use on your QED? And from your experience when out in the field what settings have...

I asked as I did recall reading somewhere about using a formula after raising and lowering the Bias then taking note of the numbers to ascertain a neutral Bias?

Cando it is good to read how you are going with your QED while out on the field. I was surprise that the Advantage coil did not run a nice as the Detech as I would have thought the Detech Ultra being a flat wound /spiral type to be more sensitive to the ground especially with the Gain up as high...
