Folks.. you can't blame Minelab for the fact that on its 35th anniversary.. it reduced the price of Manticore for a certain period of time... Here in Europe, Minelab is giving away a free big coil for the Manticore for its 35th anniversary... I think it's a fair offer... I'm personally saving money this year,,, so I'm not buying another detector...but it might be useful for someone... But it's up to everyone how they approach it...

Andrew, I'm very glad that you're increasing your score again in found gold coins...and congratulations... Another thing that pleased me is... that you take really seriously... the detection of targets by ID... when you are in a place that is worth it... I wish you another successful search for other nice signals...👍...

After further testing on the iron carpet, I optimized the Vista Gold Gain 30 khz detector setting... for this 2D separation situation in detecting the target under the iron carpet... the results are really better... Vista X will have a slightly different setting...but it is good to spend some time to optimize the setting, to detect in dense iron occupation ...

Don't get me wrong...I think Minelab already showed in the case of the Vanquish 340 how cheap a multi-frequency detector can be...practically, it's still the cheapest multi-frequency detector on the market. What does electronics mean at the highest level... Fighting detectors in the lowest weight / price category / does not have to be a priority for Minelab... What does electronics mean at the highest level... Fighting detectors in the lowest weight / price category / does not have to be a priority for minelab The price offer of Minelab Manticore, which is now 400 euros less.. than mine, is fine... and does not indicate a problem with Minelab at all. Here in *Europe.. Manticore with a large coil is now available for free.. for many it is a really tempting offer... On the contrary.. By producing many new detectors, Nokta can show that it is going somewhat in the direction that the Fisher company went until recently... where small changes meant a new detector model... simply too many new detector models in a short time. it reminds me of the times when Nokta created detectors under the two brands Nokta and Makro..

If I were to compare the Rutus VERSA with other detectors... it has a really good performance on highly conductive targets...,, on medium conductive targets as well,,, and on low conductive targets it has a performance .. which can really exceed the best detectors on the market...... regardless of the price class...

I will also do a test... but minelab FBS works at two frequencies... 3.4khz and 24khz...

When comparing the Vanquish 340 programs separately, you have to take into account one more thing... that the coin program and the jewelry program and the all metal program have a different level of discrimination... the sperky program has a fixed discrimination set to 0, while the coin program has a fixed discrimination set to 10.... the program "all metal" does not have any discrimination set, but it has a setting with the setting "tone break" /tone discrimination at 0/... so such a setting can have an effect on the separation of good targets in iron... the Vanquis 440 and 540 models already have an independent discrimination setting in all programs, "and in this way, in my opinion, they can achieve somewhat better separation results in some of their programs..

One of the test videos from Iffy Signal /Mike/... shows the deep possibilities of Rutus VERSA on the new 3.7 NC software...

It must be recognized that Jasong does not lack enthusiasm,, about how technical progress in detectors can subsequently influence the development of detectors with better detection possibilities,,, which current gold detectors have.... To assume that each new generation of gold detectors can achieve a better depth of detection for a certain target size.. say by 10% on a standard large coil,, Is it a little deep or is it deep enough...? But I also understand Steve well...who has been a tester of many excellent gold detectors...and who may know more about...how difficult it is to achieve even that 10% more depth of detection... Is it realistic that every 7-10 years we get a new detector that gives us a 10% better depth of detection...?

Steve ....this bronze ax shape is really a very old pattern for axes that were made 3500 years ago... https://www.lovecpokladu.cz/home/pri-klubove-detektorove-akci-objevil-nejstarsi-medenou-sekeru-v-polsku-9741

Andrew...you made a good move with the nuggets....but I also have another one well Ace...And it's a meteorite.

For me, it's probably quite similar to Rick's,,, I found staters from the period 100-200 years before our era.. the last one from Rutus Atrex on 4.75" on a concentric coil..

People... keep respect for Fisher... the company produced very good models of detectors, which brought wonderful discoveries to many detectorists... I myself feel that Fisher can surprise when it comes with a new detector model...
