I am joining a team of folks who have set a dosimeter in a pvc pipe under a pile of stones to test for light luminosity exposure and they need help locating it.
As I understand it has a flat copper piece about the size of two pennies with a bit of solder on it, hanging vertically in a pvc pipe under a pile of stones. The copper could be up to 18” deep.
I am using an equinox 800. I was planning on using the large coil in park 1 or field 2 with highest sensitivity and try different angles of approach. I have the 3 sizes of coils and, of course, using headphones. I wondered if there was an advanced setting that would intensify the copper sensing? I am open to other suggestions.
Quite honestly, I have been pretty good at random detecting finds and not as good at finding specific lost objects, so I am feeling a bit of pressure here and hoping we are successful!….Although sometimes the details of the losses have been pretty sketchy…
Thanks for your input!
