Hi John,
Your graph test figures pretty well matches what I get from my Infinium. the only difference is that I used an Aussie 5 cent & 10 cent coin and both could be heard at the same distances even thought the 5 cent is slightly smaller than the 10.

Correction.
The 5 cent detects out to 35 cm (13.7 inches)and the 10 cent goes to 40 + cm (15.7 inches)at threshold 5 and disc at zero
The 5 cent is 20mm diam x 1.5mm thick copper/nickel weight 2.9gm average
10 cent is 24mm diam x 1.9mm thick copper/nickel and weighs 5.66 gm average .

PS.

I have 6000DI PRO SL that will air test (max sens & 950 Blue max coil) on the 5 cent at 45cm (17.7 inches) and the 10 cent at 55cm (21.6 inches). I have only ever been able to use the max sens setting in very quiet fresh water river sand

Would it be the same for a seahunter?

Some say the Sea Hunter is easier to use than the Infinium but is very slightly less sensitive than the Infinium at the beach. I agree with the Sea Hunter being easier to use but am unsure about the sensitivity. It is a close contest for beach detecting. The Infinium wins hands down in high iron mineralisation.
