Manticore depth audio request Attn Tom - 4 months ago
Hello I was wondering if it would be possible to include in the update the ability to adjust the depth audio minimum to go as high as the maximum. Therefore you can adjust and make the deep targets to get the higher pitch and shallow targets get the lower pitch. Thanks for reading.by Beyonder-Pa - Thomas Dankowski Metal Detecting Forum

Re: Manticore Iron False ..Tom - 5 months ago
In the part two video, I didn't see either one turn 90 degrees and sweep over the target. I did not see anyone pin point the target. Just like Tom said, "falsing is usually the tips/heels of nails". If you are sweeping the coil in ONLY one direction, you are going to be chasing falsing all day long especially if you are catching the nail tip on the side of the coil.

Possibly, the TID and the 2d screen use different filters and/or work independent of each other. An averaging filter for the TID and the 2d screen shows a range of TIDs perhaps down averaged.

Big announcement from ML today! Minelab will be making an announcement today and the internet is a-buzz on what it could be! Here are just some of the wild speculations that are permeating social media: -A new pin-pointer. Makes sense because at the time of the Nox announcement, they also introduced two pin pointers.

No doubt in my mind that Paystreak is strange. He claims to be an engineer. I have been watching his stuff lately and some of his vids have value. He really is a beep and dig kind of guy for sure. But is he a shill for Nokta like certain ppl claim? No.by Beyonder-Pa - Thomas Dankowski Metal Detecting Forum

Re: QUESTION FOR LEGEND USERS - 1 year ago
Hello Dilek! I have used the legend four about 8 hours and here are some of the things I feel need to be addressed: Take a closer look at the VDI. The VDI has a tendency to down average targets to the point that in certain conditions, silver dime can ID as iron(Around a 7) when close to an iron target(See IFFYs video). I am sure that is not the only scenario where this can occur(I havenby Beyonder-Pa - Thomas Dankowski Metal Detecting Forum

NM Legend observations on this video - 1 year ago
Hello. This video is about the Legend with an air test on various objects. I understand, the machines out now are just prototypes including the software used. I also understand there are somethings that can and cannot be released in the contexts of machines operation. From what I read in the manual, the depth meter is really just a proximity sensor, meaning it is used strictly to determby Beyonder-Pa - Thomas Dankowski Metal Detecting Forum

Re: The Legend: single frequency vs smf? - 1 year ago
In short, certain freqs respond better to certain materials. For example, high freqs respond well to gold, low freqs respond better to silver. While using SMF, you are getting the positives of each freq, and the negatives as well. Example, 4KHZ is great for deep silver, but small foil tends to read like silver at that freq. Now, SMF sort of corrects that by the other freqs providing a more stableby Beyonder-Pa - Thomas Dankowski Metal Detecting Forum
