Looking forward to seeing in field usage, I had heard they started shipping manticores. Dependant on a few things, I may buy a new toy next year. This equinox is getting old
I can see that happening for one of the nails, but he tested 4 nails, and they all ID'd as a high conductor.
What we can't see from the video is whether or not the VDI number has the red line under it which indicates a ferrous target. There are 99 ferrous numbers as well as 99 non ferrous. Ferrous targets will give a VDI, but the number will have a solid red line underneath. I'm sure someone will do a close up shot of the screen showing this.
Thank you for that Dan. Now it makes sense.
After reading your explanation, I went to watch the video again, but it's now private
He made the video private shortly after he posted it .... maybe he realized he said "all day long" one to many times
Although I'm glad I was able to view it, because it confirmed my long held suspicion that the "2D ID Map", is really just a ferrous / nonferrous visual indicator that all target ID detectors already have. For example, the target ID numbers in of themselves, the target ID scale, the D2's X/Y screen, the Legend's Ferrous/nonferrous ratio meter.
I'm sure the manicore is a good machine, but so is the equinox. I'm not seeing the end game in the manicoy,I've watched the videos and to me it looks and seems to be a repackaged equinox, with a few tweaks and new eye candy on the screen. . I'll be watching for sure,and hoping im wrong for the sake of the hobbie
I hope the guys that buy this machine don't get let down thinking they're gonna walk into they're beat up wore out spots and start pulling good stuff. Especially if they already own a equinox and wore those spots out with the equinox.

ML figured out some D2 technology putting more juice to the coil , instead of the D2 with the battery in the coil style
Most detectors put out about the same transmit power at any given time, and they are limited to that power by government regulations.
The D2 doesn't have a powered coil because of "more juice to the coil". The D2's coil battery is to power the coil's wireless transmitter.

Kind of what I was thinking. Seems to me FCC put a limit (5w?) on metal detector output and we hit that years ago. Now technically, if that is 5w per primary transmitted frequency, then IF they had 50% more primary frequencies, they could claim 50% more power to the coil.
