[QUOTE="grubstake, post: 255804, member: 4012"] I don't think that electrical resistance is relevant to metal detectors, which work by inducing and detecting eddy currents on the surface of metals, NOT by passing a current through them. Minelab's multi-frequency VLF detectors determine both the conductivity and inductance of targets (this last is the so-called 'ferrous' component), but I'm not aware of any detector claiming to measure target resistivity.
