An interesting video. I had to listen to his comment a couple of times to make sure that I heard correctly. That's a pretty insane depth. I just went out and looked at my tape measure and digging that deep for targets almost seems unimaginable. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick N. MI Posted October 13, 2022 Share Posted October 13, 2022 Can you imagine digging that deep in the water. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick N. MI Posted October 13, 2022 Share Posted October 13, 2022 If it goes that deep on gold ring it's going to be hard to pass up on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phrunt Posted October 13, 2022 Share Posted October 13, 2022 I think that's a comment he will regret, i would say it was an exaggeration as a PI isn't even doing that. He was having a bit of a joke about some guy. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So hoping he litterally makes the plunge early, as well, since that will be telling. That'll be a huge IF Chase.. I won't be taking the plunge early with this one.. I'm quite happy to see what field testers have to say first about how it performs on beaches, silver coins and small gold.. Once bitten, twice shy as far as I'm concerned with being an early adapter.. I'm merrily following the bandwagon along to see where it leads me.. I reckon it'll be good, but then that's what I said about the D2.. ? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regarding the polyphonic audio - i saw your post over on Tom D's site - I'm thinking it will be more like this: . . . the DTMF (touchtone used by the phone company) system as an example. Overlapping tones - a group of ascending tones for the conductive value and another set of ascending tones, distinct from the first, for the ferrous value. Every X-Y coordinate / point would have a distinctive pair of tones for its' audio value. The ear is very good at differentiating tones. In the case of multiple targets under the coil at once, two sets of tones would be quite distinctive from each other, in the case of a rusty nail AND a silver dime. An M-core user would hear and see the two different 'targets' and proceed as they see fit. Rich - Rich, very interesting, on the tones. I hadn't ever thought of "touchtone" as being "overlapping tones," but in thinking about it, I kind of know what you mean. It will be very interesting to see how Minelab accomplishes the FE and CO tones "together," if that's indeed what will be happening. Meanwhile, as far as the "histogram" thing, maybe we are defining "histogram" differently. But as I am defining it, the screen as I am imagining it, will not be a "histogram" based on the mathematical definition of a histogram. That being, something that looks a "bar chart," i.e. a series of adjacent rectangles, where the height of the rectangle is proportional to the frequency of a variable, while the width of the rectangle is proportional to a "range" of values for that variable (for instance, 1 to 10, 11 to 20, 21 to 30, etc.) Again ASSUMING that the Manticore 2-D screen will be similar to the CTX screen, and I strongly think it will, then the proper way to think of it is an x,y coordinate system, where, each time the machine "calculates" an x,y pair for a target, a point is plotted on the screen in the proper x,y location...with the plotted point's x,y location corresponding to the FE and CO ID pair of the target, as calculated by the machine's ID algorithm. The screen will be set to "keep" a plotted point visible for some set length of time (before it begins to fade away), with additional, simultaneous points plotted continually as the machine continues to calculate additional ID values for the target, with these ID (x,y) points "accumulating" over time on the screen, in their respective, proper x,y locations.

vive equinox Posted October 14, 2022 Share Posted October 14, 2022 Did the Fe co on CTx give ferrous trace or number on burried coin on the edge ? As the manticore did .. someone ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
