[QUOTE="grubstake, post: 552114, member: 4012"] Unfortunately, your basic assumption is incorrect, regardless of the detector used, as multiple smaller targets DO NOT equal a single, larger target. Detectors respond to target surface area, so a buried vertical stack of coins doesn't register as much larger than the upper surface of the topmost coin in the stack. If the coins are in a random pile rather than stacked, that's somewhat of an improvement as more surface area is exposed and if they're lying flat and adjacent, that's better still. Life wasn't meant to be easy! ;) [/QUOTE]
