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...

Re: MINELAB MANTICORE: DATA & PERFORMANCE
David........ even though this is a Manticore thread....... the Deus-2 w/9" coil test...... is absolutely 'valid' for educational comparison. It is not the Deus-2's fault....... nor is it the Manticore's fault.......but/rather...... the principality of the physics imposed. Your video///this da...

Re: Models currently Offered per Manufacturer - Video - All Detector Manufacturer Reps should Watch
The test field is 2.5-3 years old... so the holes are already well sealed... here I wouldn't have to worry that a disturbed ground could strongly affect the target signal...a 4-5cm small piece of plastic pipe is only for marking the target... 2 lines of modern coins of medium conductivity are a good...
