Thomas Dankowski's Metal Detecting Forum

The reasons I believe a woman looses a earing is for 2 reasons..,big waves catching the hair,.an the hair pulls it out.
Secondly a sharp drop off at the entrance to the water, causing a dive in..
This beach 95% of the time has no waves..an it's shallow
For first 30m..so the ladies tend to walk in an swim
Without getting the hair to wet..
Also this is an area where people are having silver due to costs..but at the same time not buying junk..only 5% of rings from here are junk metal...
I just checked my pictures 36 silver earings in last 3 months..

Wow! Interesting statistics...... AND conditions!

Bottom line is: You're doing spectacular!

Thanks Tom an to everyone on this forum that has shared info on the MANTICORE, without it we would spend many 1000s of hours in the dark,if it was not for info about the M8 coil,I would have sold the manticore, I spent 6 months very frustrated, because the 11 just does not work on my beaches..the high sensitivity capabilities of the manticore combined with a large coil does not work on moderate black sand along with salinity reaching 35%
The summer months I will be working large areas of
yellow Atlantic sand..
but I will keep the M8 on......maybe I can push the sensitivity
Up to 27/28
Statistics are my favourite part,I do hours of testing and research,every week,especially helpful is google earth, whete you can see photos of previous months/years, to see
Sand level over sea grass beds an rocks exposed or covered
Along with resent drone footage,
But the strangest conditions this spring were a riptide/current 20m from shore,that cut big holes in the sand,
Some holes being 20m x 5n x 2m...an others being
50m x 20m x 1m...I do not understand how or why this has
Happened..all I know is it has nothing to do with waves,an it's
Never happened before in the 3 years I have hunted here.

Water (just like air) can have/create vortices (like a tornado)........ which will create craters in the sand!

Very interesting, in that case have you thought of a design
To build a machine that would create an artificial vortex
To remove sand from desired locations...
I already had the idea to use the outboard motor
an ducting ,like they do on florida wreck sites..

That could/would be a expensive endeavor...........both with time & money; yet, could pay off.
Yes........ the twin mailbox ducting... is probably the best method.......... thus far.

I will have to consult VICTOR SCHAUBERGER the
Master observer of water an vortex.

Al you need is Waydoo Subnado. I use it to hunt on water, and it's a game changer

Can Manticore be updated to offer multiple custom disc settings. Like it does currently with multiple custom ferrous settings ? Hmm

Not sure what you mean. You already CAN program the most wildest program(s) into Manticore....... if you so choose.
AND........ "Custom" programs are for "Custom" people. In other words......... a custom program is very 'personal'......whereby........others may not be as interested in a specific program.
Am I understanding you correctly?
