The 9-inch LD22 excels at detecting small shallow targets masked by nearby junk, such as a silver dime sitting close to a crushed aluminum can, or a thin gold chain in wet sand surrounded by bottle caps. Larger coils blend overlapping signals into a single broad tone, often causing the detector to reject the good target along with the trash. The LD22's compact footprint isolates the good signal by reducing the detection field's width, letting the Legend 2's processor separate individual targets. This advantage matters most in modern parks, tot lots, and crowded beaches where decades of aluminum trash concentrate in small areas.
