Daniel Tn Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 Didn't Tom also say that they had worked on the Beast's ability to handle EMI more since he had it on an inland site where he was running it at 28? I may be remembering wrong but I thought he said his most recent testing and input had been salt beach hunting and tackling that. Which hints at further development of EMI handling to me. I know they have said the machine in the videos is not the final product, that they are buttoning up some loose ends. I hope so because what I see and hear in the videos, is a very sparky/chatty machine. I'm not a fan of running them that hot when they chatter at everything, just holding it still. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JCR Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 Daniel, you are remembering right. NASA Tom stated he had last run the Manticore on an Inland site 2 years ago. It has been all Beach since then. EMI mitigation is suppose to be one of the big advancements the new machine brings. If you notice in the various videos, the detector may be somewhat sparky held stationary but quiets right down when being swept over the ground, as it should.

vive equinox Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 I remember in the thread "on my mind " he spoke lot of EMI but sometimes about density🤔 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcjtom Posted September 2, 2022 Share Posted September 2, 2022 With '2D Identification Map', x-axis seems to be related to the 'conductivity' (time constant) of the targets. What's y-axis and why would it go both up and down from the middle? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sumrtym Posted September 2, 2022 Share Posted September 2, 2022 The further away from the middle horizontal line, the more ferrous the target. Above the line is nails and large iron, below are things like bottle caps. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even cheaper... Seriously??? I don't think you ever tried a PI detector. Unless you are digging test pits layer by layer and scanning with that cheap detector each layer at a time, then you are missing a lot of artifacts. I have worked with Archaeologists for 10 years doing metal detector survey for them. There is a huge difference between detectors once you factor in depth, EMI, soil mineralization, etc.... I regularly scan over areas that other machines have done and find more targets. I even find targets in the spoil heaps 😄 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why do I get a feeling that North America is not being courted as buyers? Can we get this machine in the U.S. somewhere? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
