Yes, it makes sense. Thank you for taking the time to explain.
You're welcome. I think it's a powerful machine, but no machine is perfect. I'd love the chance to test it against other machines.

Alright folks,
Received Rutus Alter 71 detector this morning.
Donsell has said he doesn't mine my posting what I have to say about Rutus in his thread here.
In the long run,,I think this will make it easier for folks who are seeking info about this detector on this forum.
My unit is a unit that doesn't have version software update.
Assembly of unit,,,probably the easiest I've seen so far,,simple.
Just look at the pick on front of manual and do.
This video I think is a good one talking about the menu system.(not my video)
More to come later today on this unit.

TNSS,
'Depth is dependent on mask setting,,meaning for fringe depth the lower the better'
I think you meant reactivity rather than masking.
Once you get going with the cc you'll find it's a decent coil for certain situations, kinda Mojave style lol
I must check that out.
The masking will hide a target more at depth if it falls near any area that has been disced or notched, i run zero notch and disc at small nails so maybe i'm not noticing it's effect as much.
Great info, thank you ghound and tnss. I haven't had the chance to try the concentric coil yet. I was happy with the performance of the 11".
I did notice the hodograph flipping based on swing direction. I thought that's how it was supposed to work.
Tnss..that detector is very clean, for used. Air tests I've seen looked impressive, are you seeing that?
This detector I think was the one George Kinsey had original from new.
He was trying to get it back,,but I got instead.
He tests a lot of detectors,,,if he wanted another go with the Rutus,,,might tell us all some thing.
Speaking of which,,,Rutus seems in my ground to be more forgiving GB wise than even the mighty Deus.
I can get my 10" nickle using GB preset on Rutus,,,doing actual GB very little improvement on signal. I like that a lot.
Deus signal will improve moreso comparing a 90 GB to actual ground balance of approx 78 when doing pumping GB.
I still rate Deus as forgiving though in GB dept.
This aka Signum,,,no dice,,you have to be spot on,,or extremely little error to detect this nickel. It is wickedly GB sensitive for deeper targets,,,and with a improper GB even if you can hit the target,,,ID can be in error.
How did the Impact do on that nickel?
I didn't check it today with Impact.
Had the smallest coil on it,,and had my hands full jostling Deus and Rutus.
Will post some comparison info including Impact though.
From an audio quality sound,,if I had to rack and stack using the 3 detectors.
Pole position Deus
Then Impact
Then Rutus
Ease of use between the three= Impact
