    Metal detectors don 't actually transmit a signal into the ground and wait for a response reflected from a metal target. That's how radar works, and metal detectors are not like radar. The search coil on a metal detector radiates or 'emits' an electromagnetic field all around itself. When a metal object enters that electromagnetic field it creates an anomaly in the field, and the detectors processor senses that anomaly. Similar to the technology that is used to detect submarines by anti-submarine aircraft flying overhead. Theirs is called MAD gear.....Magnetic Anomaly Detector.

      MAD doesn’t produce magnetic field

      Like passive sonar. Any object that disrupts the magnetic field is detected

    Hi! The electromagnetic field is more like an invisible globe around the coil, rather than one, down directional wave. If a metallic object is swung above the coil it will pick it up as well. I found that this is something that metal detecting beginners are failing to understand and this video does not help with that due to the way the electromagnetic field is graphically represented [e.g. 1:49].

    • @MagusDetectorismo
      @MagusDetectorismo 5 місяців тому +1

      It is not a globe because as the item passes through the sides the field is non-existent. The graphic in the video is correct, but it repeats itself above the coil as well as below... It's more like an hourglass shape.

      This was a very poor - and fundamentally inaccurate - representation of how a metal detector works. Do you like to listen to "story", fairy tales,.. or is it important to be reliable?

      Well, ironically, the invention of fire was the best invention, and if you make a torch with this fire, you literally have a handheld electromagnetic field! All light, visible and invisible, are really manifested by electromagnetic waves, which is literally just oscillating electromagnetic fields.

    You should consider editing your videos before posting them. It's not necessary to including stuff like the typo in the opening card, sniffing, misreads, etc - are you aware of recording in multiple takes?
