Hi !
I would like to have some discussion on why particular metal items are chosen to calibrate our metal detectors.
Why do so many people prefer to use a Nickel in particular, instead of a Dime, Cent, Nail, etc. ? What properties make the Nickel so popular ?
Digger27 says Nickels are weird and don't respond with consistent signals in his experience which is quite extensive !
For starters I'm guessing the choice is made based on the conductivity of different metal items and I'm sure there are many other reasons that can be added to the list.
for contributing to this conversation !
