Re: "UNDER THE IRON CARPET"

Todd and JCR... I think you have a really good idea how to test/detect under an iron carpet to work properly... Your information is really informative.. It is not only the result of the test itself that is important...but we also get important information about what settings the detector can optimal...

Re: XP Deus II - soft 4.0 Dual Axis - Rutus Versa 5.51

I believe that Jack will do a similar test of these two Dual mode detectors with targets between iron.

Re: Manticore M9 coil compared to Deus 2 9” coil Small Spanish bit on edge

Good video David,, Deus2 can be a bit shallower at reactivity 3..at 2.5..it is more optimal when you are looking for deeper targets..especially when you are using audio pitch...which weakens strongly with the depth of the target...it all depends on the size of the target and its depth...it is often ...

Re: Minelab CTX3030 behavior - videos

David, your tests from the CTX 3030 will be interesting...,, also because it has different settings than the Etrac... Clearly, the CTX is very good at eliminating surface iron.... On deep, some deep iron, the signal can already be variable.

Re: MINELAB MANTICORE: DATA & PERFORMANCE

Yes, everything is based on physics..because a small coil can receive a 10..x stronger signal to a nearby target...like say an 11" coil.. A years ago I saw a very nice graph of different sized coils..on Geotech1..which pointed out this fact..That also means a small coil it10x stronger signal fr...
