Only three frequencies

May 2011 issue of the Western & Eastern Treasures, page 15, states that the maxium amount of frequencies any detector is using is three. Now that can't be right, what about the Minelabs?

the minelab use a lot of Freq but not at the same time..

If you don’t dig it, then how are you going to know what you’re missing!
How can you have your pudding if you don’t eat your meat!

I think I read they use three "sets" of frequencies and the 4th frequency monitors the ground. In each "set" of frequencies you have 9 separately spaced frequencies being sent out (pulse train? Maybe??). That is how you get 28 frequencies (3 x 9 +1 ground freq). Not sure this is technically correct in it's language, lol, but a rough idea of how I understood it.

Ive heard minelabs only receive in 3 frequencies as well but was not sure I started a post here called ML Fbs Machines question. I posted a link there that is from the minelab site stating they receive in low med and high frequencies ranges. But they do not say weather its just or three groups. Its a very interesting question and if this is the case I am swayed to the V3I as I can control the machine much more. However I'm not seeing the same amount of finds coming from the Vs. So far I think they are doing better with the small gold though.
Be Well

Can or will anyone expand on this thought?

What are the actual facts?

Tom, will you enlighten me on this subject?

((( I think ))) this starts to infringe upon corporate trade-secrets. I know I am allowed to say: 'harmonics' are utilized by some Mfr's.

I know you would understand, knowledge is power and understanding.
