Several weeks in with the MFD, and i'm having a ball hunting my old pastures with this machine, it's fantastic at alerting to targets, it can be as easy as you like to setup and run, and i'm back to digging the coins at depth that i wasn't getting with my last few machines.
But i've also been trying to understand more about the modes and audio, and this machine has lots more to offer other than just depth, for my type of detecting it has the best mix ratio of depth and separation.
Within the modes available, you can set it as a snap shot deep coin hunter on solo targets, you can also set it where it reports everything under the coil at once, and it can blend from target to target.
Here's a few vids of the 'hated by some lol' nail tests we've seen here this year, the down the barrel test, i don't think i've ever seen a machine do it so well with a coil this size 12.5x9.5?
The audio can be delayed, but shortening the audio report helps tremendously.
The way it performs these tests has been a pleasant surprise for myself as i've not heard the MFD being touted anywhere before as being so capable in these scenarios.
From memory the Deus can't pass the barrel test with 9" or 11" coils, you'd probably need the HF coil on to hit it, not sure on how others or the latests AT Max or the Impact with stock coils fitted would fair????? so there's a challenge for Calabash and Tnss lol.
The coin below nails, it just passes with considerable ease.
It's early days with the MFD and i'm probably fumbling through it compared to those who have more experience with it, but I'll post more as i learn it further and get more proficient with it.
Nails are 3" long, and the coin is a silver dime.
