    This is proper youtube expert stuff right here.
    What type of detectorist spends fours days detecting very little without checking the machine set up "sensitivity" ?
    You need to be noise cancelling this machine regularly with a 20 second long press, ground balance and a sensitivity adjustment to make sure you're running it at its peak.

      It was a different machine that my story was referring to. It was my Minelab CTX-3030 and yes it happened, I pass this story on to others in hope that they will have the common sense to realize what is wrong without wasting 4 trips. But you make a good point! Thank you for the view and comment!

    I'm old school from the 1266X Fisher school of Iffy tones or signals but this is how you learn any machine by digging the iffy signals. I'm learning the Manticore now and it's a beast once you learn its language and how to fine groom it to your areas. Great Video ! Thanks !

      I really enjoyed my Fisher 1265x, 1266X and my 1270x back in those days. Remember that dual discrimination switch? But yes, you bring up a good point, the key on any machine is critical listening and learning the tones. Thank you for the view and comment!

    By no means a detecting expert, but your videos are helping me decide if I want to take the plunge into a Manticore. The thing I am really liking about it (at least from videos) is the interface, and I dont have to remember what each menu entry is, it literally tells you on the screen. Plus I really like the visualization of the 2D part of the screen, as it seems to make targets more tangible to me, rather than just a number. Personal preference there, though, I suppose. Thank you for all your vids on the Manticore and everything else!

  • @billem3085
    @billem3085 Рік тому +3

    With iron falsing, what you are describing is the audio wave form. The coin sound is an audio wave form that is like a saw tooth or wave peak. An audio wave form on a iron false is an inverted saw tooth or wave. Unfortunately, the belt buckle has a similar response do to its size. So instead of getting an "Overload" (which is when a large item's wave form wraps around the VDI scale and begins to repeat and the detector is programed to recognize that as a large target and gives an overload), we are hearing on the MC the similar sound that an iron false gives. This is not so much as a flaw as it is a "comes with the territory" type problem. Sure you can mitigate this issue, but then you may have crippling flaws in the machines response. Just my take on it

    • @BrassMedic
      @BrassMedic  Рік тому +1

      Yes Bill I understand there are trade-offs and let me just start by saying that I don't mind digging square nails more than I usually do on my CTX 3030, while getting the benefits of more depth and separation..... not to mention it's a much lighter machine and more comfortable to swing all day. More bells and whistles. So the observation I am calling a delay is simply that the circuit is delaying the audio signal to my ears after I pass over a target. I would have to see these exact waves forms on a oscilloscope to understand what your saying. Because simply inverting (phase shift) the same wave is not going to cause the delay. It would have to be a completely different wave and regardless of the wave form, the peak of any part of that "inverted sawtooth wave" would be the impulse I am hearing. So when I swing left to right... The object is not being reported right at the moment when the coil has detected the eddy current, instead it is a delayed audio (albeit in milliseconds) and by the time the audio is being reported, the center of the coil is way past the target that was just detected. When I start my swing back from right to left the same thing happens, it does not re-report starting on the outside right, instead it's silent until you have swing past the target being detected and as you pass over to the left of the target its once again reporting late. This makes it so you can't even do the "Minelab wiggle" like you can on a coin (lying flat), etc. So what you are proposing here is that the circuit is giving you the same frequency tone (let's say it's the TDI of 83 in all tones 83/100) but the propagated sound wave of the iron weighted target (we have to keep in mind that square nails have lots of conductive properties besides the ferrous) is causing the circuit to generate a completely different sound wave topology (form) and therefore it's causing that "inverted sawtooth wave" to give a late report to the headphones? Solely based on the alternate inverted sawtooth wave? I so want to understand this. I have been talking to Minelab Engineers about this and they are definitely interested in it and are trying to digest it and understand it. I will definitely try to take a look at the sound waves (tones) on both an oscilloscope and a spectrum analyzer to see if I can understand what you are saying here. In the mean time, like I said, I don't mind digging square nails for now! Sounds like Minelab is currently not interested in adding an overload feature to the MC so we are no longer discussing that. Would be really nice to have though 🤔 Thank you for the view and terrific comment!! 🤠

    • @billem3085
      @billem3085 Рік тому +2

      @@BrassMedic Depending on their filtering, the wave form may be out of phase meaning the tone is delayed but at the level of seconds(nano or milli) just like you are saying. If you can hear that delay your hearing is quite good. I am hear the wave form inverted sounding quite different than a good target. Could be both are going on.

    Regarding this delayed "Halo" signal of iron, I am SO looking forward to seeing how the Manticore performs with the 8"x5.5" coil. I've had signals bang loud on the side stems of the DDs, as loud as the center post. And if there are multiple signals doing that, it becomes frustrating to pinpoint. With the skinny 5.5" wide coil I feel like there's going to be a lot tighter, more precision signal processing along with it.

    • @BrassMedic
      @BrassMedic  Рік тому +1

      It absolutely will be different with the lower width coil, the phenomenon may still be there it may just be harder to perceive it on a smaller coil. I say that because I use a 6" round on my CTX-3030 99% of the time and I "hear" this delay on iron with the CTX, using that 6" coil. Thank you for your view and comment!

I'm just not sure that others used it enough to justify them still having that feature on future machines. We'll see what happens with the predecessor to the CTX 3030 that they're working on right now.

    Out of all the people who have tutorials videos I respect you the most.. I am also a long time ctx user and can always tell if I have a square nail. This manticore squeal in both directions. Having a lot of trouble with it. Does having the new update on make it also loose depth? And what number do you usually have it on

    • @BrassMedic
      @BrassMedic  4 місяці тому

      Thank you so much for the compliment!! The update and the M8 coil are what tranformed the Manticore into the real beast that it could be. And now with the brand new M9 coil it's even better! Seriously from one full-time CTX user to another with untold 1000's of hours on my CTX, I love that machine, I swear I could hear targets in 3D, like I could hear shape, density and depth accurately. With all other detectors I'm in 2D period and it's hard to get used to coming off of those incredible tones with so much information in the CTX. That is because it is an analog circuit compared to these new digital circuits the audio engine in the Manticore is an incredibly powerful music synthesizer that is polyphonic and can play any tone but it's still not analog and that does detract from a lot of the Sonic information that we had on the old CTX platform. The update as you know I was a major part of that update and did all the testing on it and I have the official update video on the Minelab website. It really did improve the machine in so many ways but it's especially noticeable with the M8 or M9 coil. At this point when I walk out the door for relics I'm grabbing my Manticore every time and leaving the CTX behind period the reason for this is it just unmasks so much better in the heavy iron. The CTX was good at cherry picking a site and getting all the good stuff quick but in the heavy iron it was a crap shoot trying to pull things out that were co-located high conductors in with or under square nails. To answer your question about losing depth technically yes it does because they reworked the range of sensitivity. So if you are running a sensitivity of 20 before the update and you're used to that, that 20 is now equivalent to like 16 so I now run my sensitivity at about 24 in the tough, mineralized California soil that I deal with. I took some of the engineers from Australia out to my detecting Fields here in California were they tested the soil and they found it to be some of the harshest they had ever encountered. So in some areas I'm sure you could run your sensitivity higher than 24. Thank you again for watching the video and for your very kind comment!

      Sensitivity is a setting that you want to run as high as you can while making sure the machine is running stable and quiet and not falsing. As soon as the machine starts making too much noise you need to first try noise cancel and ground balance to make sure those are ideal. Then run the sensitivity up as high as you can while keeping it stable. Hope this makes sense. Thank you for the view and comment!

    Mark, it’s a year later but I just got my Manticore, still have my 800. I’m assuming that since you talked about the iron falsing being something you were used to with the CTX and it was never completely fixed by Minelab, do you think we can expect the same result with the Manticore too? Also, what are your thoughts on using all metal mode for beach hunters? I live in San Diego and on my first hunt with the Manticore I ended up using all metal mode for the second half of the hunt, something I never did with my 800. Thanks for your videos.

I actually run my Manticore in all-metal in most all hunts on sand and turf. (ironically I have a video coming out tomorrow talking about all metal mode and how I use it).

      The 2D graph on the Manticore is similar to the graph on the CTX-3030 and that they are both X-Y plots representing conductivity on the X-line and Ferrous on the Y-line. However the CTX 3030 used a weighted equation to factor items that were desirable up into what Minelab called the "12 line". With the Manticore this is not being done it is more of an actual representation of conductivity and ferrous and a true 2D graph plot. Thank you for watching the video and for your great question!

    Great video. Regarding the iron falsing issue, does All-Metal mode help at all with that? For instance, is there any chance that the red ferrous line would appear under the VDI with every other indicator (sound, VDI, 2D display) showing non-ferrous? If so, that would be a tell that it’s iron.

    • @BrassMedic
      @BrassMedic  Рік тому +1

      In a way it does, but only if you have ferrous audio on at turned up so you can hear it because there is the extra clue that you will get when you hear that Iron grunt in there with the horseshoe open. Also helps if you switch to a single frequency like 15 to check it as well. May help you make a dig - no-dig decision. It's just kind of trade off that if you want separation you're going to have to dig some of these square nails we have to keep in mind that square nails are giving the machine a lot of conductivity besides the ferris and it can confuses the circuit. I for one don't mind digging these square nails as I am fully aware of that trade-off. I also want to make it clear that I haven't had an issue with iron falsing with any iron other than square nails. Especially the really pesky little bits of thin food cans and things like that. This is not been an issue with the Manticore only the square nails. So getting back to your question I think it would be good practice to open the horseshoe and change frequencies for a while on suspicious signals until we can learn the machine and figure out what it's telling us.

    • @BrassMedic
      @BrassMedic  Рік тому

      That's exactly what I think it is. More power to the coil gets buried targets a little more excited at depth and those eddy currents are just reporting back stronger. Also has a lot to do with the design of the coil and the processor in the way that it handles EMI. The engineers at Minelab swung for the fences on this machine! 🤠

    • @BrassMedic
      @BrassMedic  7 місяців тому +1

      There is also the issue of "averaging" whereas the item you are detecting is being influenced by a co-located target that is causing the VDI to give a number that is not representative of either Target but rather an average number between the two different VDI's. For example if you have one item that has a vdi of 50 and it's right next to an item that has a vdi of 70 you won't see the number 50 or the 70 but rather a average number of for example 60 that seems to bounce back and forth between the two items this is the case with all modern metal detector circuits. Also your comment about air testing not always being accurate as compared to the vdi as you see with items in the soil. This is true because the soil can be highly mineralized and that can average as well. I think it's a good policy to just dig every signal that gives a pretty stable number in both directions that is after you check it on a 90° angle as well if it still sounds good dig it regardless of vdi's. Thank you for your taking the time to watch the video and for leaving a good comment / question!

    But your vdi may skew some and change slightly in different soil and/or if it has a ferrous target near it pulling the signal. Not enough room in your upper/lower ferrous limits. But I do like this

    • @BrassMedic
      @BrassMedic  10 місяців тому +1

      Absolutely, this is always the case when a machine has two or more targets that are not being discriminated. You get averaging on tones and VDI. Best to dig everything. Thank you for the view and comment!!

    • @BrassMedic
      @BrassMedic  Рік тому

      Hello!... and this is a great question. I think my opinion may change in time but for now I will be taking my CTX 3030 to all new sites on my first time in. And then after I've had a chance to detect it with the CTX 3030, I will come in behind it with the Manticore. That could change though!! I have no doubt that the Manticore is superior to the CTX in depth and Target separation. It is also superior in comfort and lightweight build. Thank you for your view and comment / question!

    Good video but I have a question. This air test you’re doing can be a bit different than what the coin exposes underground. What I mean is you’re testing these coins, flashing them flat across the coil, but how about if that same coin is, for instance, 7 inches under ground and presents at an angle, it’s not going to showthe same VDI, or am I wrong?

    Rare to find a silver nickel? I dug 10 of them this year believe it or not. Also 20 v nickels 25 Buffalo nickels 240 wheat pennies 20 Indian head pennies. 80 silver coins. And $176.00 in clad. Had a fabulous year with the XP deus ii.
    Using your program what happens if there is a silver dime and a pull tab or foil comingled. I can bet that you'll miss the coin. Try it out and show us.

      Thanks for the vid👍, to be honest I sold the D2 because I wasn't happy about the masking problems. Therefore, I hoped the flagship Manticore would do better but it doesn't obviously:-/ so for me the Equinox 900 could be the one to choose, or back to the D2. It seems that none of them are free from problems. Or what's you're uppinion? Gr. M

    • @MD-NWWI
      @MD-NWWI Рік тому +2

      @kenny D the trick with silver nickels is they are not all going to come up at same vdi. I've had them ring up anywhere from nickel range to zinc penny range.
      They didn't have a consistent alloy composition. I've experimented with the ones I have found. If you want a silver nickel go after the nickel tones, pull tabs, ring pulls, and zinc pennies. Then you'll get some. I dug lots of junk this year hoping for gold and silver nickels. I got both!

    • @BrassMedic
      @BrassMedic  Рік тому +2

      Totally believe that. But that means you must have dug hundreds on nickels because they only made them for 4 years. The math on that just shows me that you have dug literally hundreds of nickels to get 10 silver nickels. Maybe less if your only digging deep coins. Anyways for most, yes they are pretty rare to dig. V Nickels are way more common than war nickels, just look at the total mintage of all V Nickels compared to the total mintage of all of the Jefferson nickels compared the 4 years of war nickel issues. Thanks for the view and comment!

    • @MD-NWWI
      @MD-NWWI Рік тому

      @Brass Medic yep that is correct. 226 clad nickels. That makes sense to me. But the vdi numbers do vary quite a bit with the war nickels.

    I turned my sensitivitie down to 8 checking something out on my explore and forgot to turn it back up. This machine kills on 8. Places i have been going all my life hunting for years are like brand new places running on 8 auto, it is unbelievable. My only guess is the machine is not reaching out to the sides as much picking up all the trash.

    The video shows the VDI (visual discrimination indication or reference number); however, it does not show the icon?
    Summary: Nothing but the VDI on the Manticore?
    No icon? No frequency? That really leaves a lot to be desired. Does the Minelab 900 provide the icon, and freq. Just the VDI (Visual discrimination indicator) I always liked the Minelab I thought the machine had 'aggressive response'. Thanks for the video!

    I've dug many silver coins with that same delay you speak of with the EQ 800. Just sounds like this machine will be very inefficient to use. If I wanted a super deep dig it all machine I'd just go back to one of the old analogs. Then, with the depth people will be suckered into digging time consuming holes. I don't know. I'm on a list for one but might just hold off until they get this thing figured out.

      @@finders-keepers1518 I love the machine although I am digging way more junk. It’s definitely faster than the CTX and NOX. Honestly it depends on how much you need your $1700. I am addicted to this hobby and have been detecting for 40 years so I always love a new toy. Knowing what I know about the manticore, I think you can do just as good with the NOX 900 which has almost every feature.
