[QUOTE="Candigger, post: 487054, member: 14328"] Yesterday there was a massive rain fall. So today I got some new testing done and got some rather disturbing conclusions. The GPX4500 with 18" mono appears to lose about 25% depth in dry soil vs wet soil. This seems a harsh reality to me, but I wonder if the soil is super dry, like no rain for couple of months what will be the depth loss then. The other thing that I noticed was more EMI or possibly soil interference in dry soil and much less in wet soil. The detector was far more quiet and stable in the mud today than its ever been in dry soil. Any thoughts? [/QUOTE]
