ArizonaRockHound 8 Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 Does anyone know if you have two of the exact same detectors or detectors of the same frequency will that cause problems when out nuggetshooting ? and how far do you need to be away to avoid any interference if there is any ?

homefire 2,581 Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 (edited) Yes it can happen. It's called Cross Talking. They don't even have to be the same make or model for it to happen. Distance between machines can vary. 10 or 20 ft is good most times. Edited July 31, 2017 by homefire 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nugget108 1,783 Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 My son can work about 5 feet from me when i use the 5000 and hes using the GB2. But when we both use the GoldBugs we can barely get within 20 yards of each other. Its bad. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

GeoJack 838 Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 Garrett ATX can work close by the GB2's. As stated, two GB2's need some distance to work together. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Minelab GP-GPX have auto tune and a manual tuning dial that will tune out the other detector. If Im hearing another nearby detector or radar from overhead aircraft I turn the manual tuning knob 1/2 to one full turn and it usually clears up the emi issue. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GOLDFEVER125 0 Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 (edited) hi New Member to this greatforum if you are using any Minelab MD & A Detech {Metal Detector} which have the exact same coils as most of the the Minelab Units , BOTH COMPANYS COILS ARE interchangeable with Any Detech Metal Detector from Austrailian or the European {Hungerian models}As they will cross talk without a doubt.Peroid!!! Especially with the "6 inch" Coil the noise will Definitely be a very noticeable interference buzzing and the problem starts at around the {28htz for the VLF Units & Above) nice gold & photos!!!!
