About a year ago they were asking what they should call it, since then Garrett have the Apex ready to go, will there be any customers left for another multi detector?

Tnss, with salt mode on the audio sounds like it's being restricted,retarded, delayed or clipped, in a bad way, it sounds more alive and instantly reactive without salt mode.
I'd be curious, if that shell was a couple of inches deep, would the MDT alert you to the target first sweep vs another detector?

Spotted this while browsing.
"During an interview I had with them, it was revealed exclusively that "they range from 5khz to significantly higher than 20khz as used in the single frequency modes"
Thats all we currently know"

TNSS, I'm not sure if its possible, but could you come up with a cross reference guide for the F75 fe bar vs Deus. I think it would be very handy for comparisons on here.
Eg F75 4 bars = 5 bars Deus etc etc

Keith, I can't talk for those in England, I'm in Northern Ireland and it can vary greatly.
My front field will fill the mineral scale on a Deus, some other areas will only register a couple of bars.
The bigger issue is animal slurry, it's full of salt and minerals from concentrated winter feeds, then they pump it out over the pastures, it kills some detectors performance.

Tom, sure the Nox sees through 90% of coke in field 1 without notching it out, it also gives a much more accurate audio/ID number. In Aarons cut 1/4 with the coke above it, the Tarsacci was upscaling it into the 20's, when i tried the same test the Nox shifted 1 ID point.
I suppose you have to balance up what you prefer, more accurate multi tone audio from the Nox, or beep and dig from the

Neither of those detectors would be my first choice for that type of detecting (plough, stubble, rolled etc), but the Nox and MDT are quite similar in results in this test in my eyes.

Tnss, my old pastures are covered in animal slurry 2 or 3 times a year, it's full of minerals that they feed to pigs and cattle over the winter.
I'm not sure if it's a thing in the US, but it defo effects how a detector runs.

I thought there was already Tarsacci's in the UK?
I'm near sure I saw someone here in the UK selling headphones for them, so is there a UK dealer?

To Quote Aaron from some weeks back.
The MDT 8000, as mentioned earlier was developed by Dimatar, SPECIFICALLY for relic hunting Roman coins amid ancient decomposing (highly conductive) iron in Bulgaria.
Their are TARSACCI users i

It would have been nice to hear the nail being swept in ground on it's own, it looks like it's the one he dug on his first outing. I can only guess when it was in ground that it gave off enough high tone to make him dig it.
Has manipulating the GB just taken the nail out of the iron zone and gave it a positive ID, i see it reads about +7 and would you not be doing the same to other iro

It's defo a nice feature to see through coke, and allows us folks in the UK to compare it with our current detectors to see the difference.
Can i ask about the salt balance, i guess it's a one time use. If you set it to see through coke you'll pick up foil, or if you need it to see through salty ground (ground slurred with animal waste) it will pick up both coke and foil?

Now we're smoking! that's defo better than i thought it was going to be on the nail above coin.
It so sounds like the AKA Signum, especially the mixed mode, but the Signum would really struggle with iron above coin settings.
Where do the cut half and quarter read on the MDT Keith, the quarters are a hard target at any more than an inch or two deep, the Nox loves them though.
Thanks

Yes it's a great feeling, there not found in abundance in my area, so you've got to enjoy it when you dig them.

No Aaron, I'm not discriminating it out in Field 1, i run it wide open, the detector is ignoring it, this vid will help.

No, not discriminating out any numbers in field 1, and you still can hit targets in that range.
In field 2 you have to disc 1-2 or assign them a tone as it hits coke.

"From the Nox user manual
Field 1 Multi-IQ, even with Target IDs 1 and
2 accepted, will reject more coke more than
Field 2 using Multi-IQ."

In field 1 it all but ignores the largest of coke, and it doesn't give an ID, So you can can choose to dig ID 1 or 2 and be pretty confident it's not coke.
Perhaps I'm looking at it from the wrong angle?

Where abouts on the MDT scale does coke read, and is it the same reading on the surface as in ground?
Lots of detectors can ID it on the surface but when it's 6+ inch deep it starts to sound like a good target, the Nox is very good at keeping it in the 1-2 ID numbers and to be fair, in field 1 it all but ignores it even with ID 1 and 2 accepted, so you can still dig targets in that ID range
