The following beach metal
detector tests were
conducted on a clay sand
tidal beach near Herne
Bay, United Kingdom.
The tests were done by
drilling a hole in the clay
with an angle of 45
degrees to the surface.
The hole had to be with
sufficient depth to allow
maximum depth
measurement to be taken,
when the coin is placed
later.
The tests target (Silver Six
Pence, Bronze Penny) was
attached with a tape on one
end of a fibre glass bar
(test bar), which end was
first cut with an angle of 45
degrees.

set both at 45 degrees
angle is a design allowing
the tested coin to be
placed in parallel position
to the ground surface.
Also, having the test hole
at 45 degrees angle
eliminates the presence
of ground disturbance in
front of the search coil.
In this way the test
measurement is almost
accurate as it would be
during real search.
The images below
illustrate the test set up in
full detail.
All measurements were
taken in centimeters and
later converted to inches.
