Re: MINELAB MANTICORE: DATA & PERFORMANCE

EL NINO......... that's good information to know! Yes....... at higher recovery speeds...... the detector is taking faster/shorter snapshots of the dirt. This reduces depth. It also reduces the amount of mineralization 'seen/viewed'.......which reduces mineralization blowback/flyback/feedback. This ...

Re: MINELAB MANTICORE: DATA & PERFORMANCE

As you move further away from any structure........ Recovery Speed 2: REALLY starts to shine. As you move closer to any structure............ Recovery Speed 4: REALLY starts to shine. The closer you get to a structure...... the greater the amount of targets in the ground. , . , . , . , . good target...

Re: MINELAB MANTICORE: DATA & PERFORMANCE

I know that I have discussed/posted "similar topic" before; yet, the following is worth reiteration: Manticore (EQX & XP Deus/II) 1901 church. 90' X 75' front lawn. Education/Quest = Recovery Speed ...............Real-World performance: Proof. With Recovery Speed on '4'......... hunt t...

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...

Re: All Terrain Low Conductor at the beach

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...
