Re: MINELAB MANTICORE: DATA & PERFORMANCE

It would be TOO much...... to do // to incorporate..... into simply a 'update'. As of right now....... merely a simple conceptual notion. I'm not sure folks see the differences/attributes between each of the Modes. In some folks eyes....... the difference is 'subtle'. In other folks opinions/experie...

Beach - Low Conductor: is 'there' ..... on the wet sand. , . , . , . , . , . and 'almost' (not quite) there ....for IN the water! If it wasn't for having to reduce Sens a couple/few points.... for a bit more stable operation IN the water......... we would be there! I speculate Minelab, Dimitar (Tars...

Re: MINELAB MANTICORE: DATA & PERFORMANCE

All Terrain - Low Conductors......... has some major attributes. All Terrain - High Conductors........ has some major attributes. Wouldn't it be nice if we could combine the attributes of both! Going yet; another step further: Wouldn't it be nice if we could combine the attributes of All Terrain.......

Re: All Terrain Low Conductor at the beach

Yes....... it would be absolutely awesome if we could use a Prospecting Mode...... or even a dirt Mode (like: All Terrain - Low Conductors Mode) ...... in a wet-salt/conductive environment........ to hunt gold jewelry! BUT .......... due to the high conductance of the wet salt..... you MUST employ a...

Re: "UNDER THE IRON CARPET"

That VERSA is presenting some interesting results....... and........ you can fairly easily tell that...... the two coins are REAL detection......and not 'falsing'.

Also....... through/because of the video......... I (now) have a better 'visual' understanding of the size, ...
