GPZ Coil detection Pattern????

I have a query on the detection pattern that was shown in the video by minelab!!!
"seeing how they have put it out there where the sensitive area's are maybe we could get a basic answer"?

In the video it showed to lines to the left & right of the centre line of the coil & described how different targets would be picked up, my question is would this require the coil swing over a target to be from side to side???

The reason I ask is, with a Mono coil you can push it forward under a small bush or hard to get to spot or in a narrow gutter/ creek you can just push it forward & still be able to get a signal response.

What are your thoughts???

JP & Steve H, not sure if you guy's can answer this? but I thought with the info supplied in the video, that there aren't too many secrets left in this regard, I understand if its a, "no comment"

Interesting question.

I'd say this coil will follow double D operation. Therefore no pushing under stuff or between trees, rocks etc...

I wonder if a mono will ever work/be offerred for sale on the Zed.

Interesting question!..I will hazard a guess and say that chip inside the coil switches between rx coils eliminating the need to swing under bushes

G'day Lee,

In the Vid clip, Bruce Candy explains it as, close to the coil there is two spots of response like a dd, out from the coil acts like a normal mono, so in theory it should still work like a mono if the target is deeply buried, but needs side sweeping if it's shallow, (if there's any shallow stuff left).

You will definitely have to swing it the same as a dd to get the best out of this coil.
I'm very exited about using new different technology and can already see the benefits and how I will apply them from the little info we have available at present.

Mate that is what I have presumed from the info so far, thanks

Thanks for every-ones thoughts, I guess in 2 days we will have a better understanding, hey.

Lee,just because current DD coils are configured with a back to back DD type winding,they perform in a similar manner as that of the monos,only give out less of a coil field strength.You can push them straight in under tussock,but,you just have to be a whole lot closer to the target to get a response. The main coil field strength of a dd,is basically directly under the coil,within the first 2/3 inches of either coil end. Motion detectors must be swung from side to side,up or down so as to be able to pick up,isolate and identify a positive target,as compared to the pinpoint mode on a VLF,in which the coil can remain stationary,whilst producing a constant signal over a positive target.

Cheers Kon.

Just remember all those that do not have a GPZ, you can still get gold where ever the 14" round GPZ coil doesn't fit.
