Minelab Manticore Adjusting Sensitivity / Recovery and More on 2D Screen

A couple finds from last Sundays hunt with Manticore. The more and more I pay attention to the 2D screen the more I'm learning about what's in the ground.

When you find square-nails "interesting"......... you are right-up-my-alley!
(They really date the era of the area)!

Well TOM its just another piece of history. I show my finds and it's surprising how many people didn't realize they hand made every nail back then!!!!!

Informative video, Thanks for posting it.

Super informative video! Interesting how increasing the recovery speed helped “knock out” the nails and helped the manticore to focus more on the non-ferrous (IH cent)

TOM: Well I know this site is from my perspective is a learning tool and trading ideas and looking for suggestions. So I put these together to help others shorten the learning curve. I will most probably do videos covering in depth Sensitivity settings, Recovery Speeds, Different Modes, & Discrimination Values. As I'm learning at the same time as none of us have had this machine long enough to be called any kind of expert with it. Except maybe TOM TOM I know we have talked about Recovery speeds, and if I'm remembering right you said the higher you have your recovery speed the shorter the audio response of any target will be. So hunting a site like I'm at with very little to no modern trash except some great looking square nails. Are there any benefits of a faster recovery speed? This is a virgin site and most of the finds have been in the 4-6" range which most detectors will hit for sure. I know and am comfortable running a Recovery speed at 2 but was just curious if there was any advantage of a higher recovery speed with mostly square nails?

Mike......... there are 'cut' square-nails.........and there are 'hammered' square-nails. Big difference...... including age/era!

Higher Recovery Speeds. In bad dirt (up to a certain point........dependent upon mineralization: TYPE and INTENSITY).......can enhance ID performance.
Lower Recovery Speeds. In low/no mineralization ....... will give greater depth & ID performance.
In carpets of nails...... I like lower Recovery Speeds in concert with half-speed coil sweep-speed. Maybe even less-than half-speed. Better/longer-audio/resolve on non-ferrous targets....... to a certain point.

Yes......... I could write a book on this; yet, I'm trying to program your brain in bulletized 'nutshell' (easy-to-remember) FEW words!

All this data holds true with Deus-2 & EQX.
