Once again Nautilus beats out all the competition (Minelabs, Whites, Tesoros, etc.).
How do they keep doing this?

I did not think they were that good of a machine.
I wonder what model they were using.
Tom_in_CA said:A friend of mine was the 2nd highest placing individual hunter. He was using an Explorer, and scored 6 period coins (colonial copper, half cents, etc...), and dozens of period items. The way he explained it was that the overall brand score was sort of meaningless, for several reasons:
1) there are so many applicants to get on the teams, that the organizers have to use a lottery, to see who actually gets on the teams for the brands. So often time, you have a newbie rookie using, let's say, a Minelab for instance, who might find practically nothing. That brings down, in this example, the Minelab score.
2) The Nautlius is a niche machine, almost exclusively used by hardcore CW/colonial hunters. Ie.:, it's not the type machine newbies/rookies gravitate towards. So basically, the guys that get on that team, are by their very nature, hardcore experienced users, who will of course outscore the more cross-sectioned other-brand teams. That's not to say that Nautilus isn't a good machine/brand, but just that that team is more likely to be aces to begin with.

You swing over the right piece of Ground & Dig, you get the

as said earlier Nautilus Users are Not Newbies.
They know where to look, & Know their Signals.
stoney56 said:I don't know how they figure the point scores. Whether each item is 1 point or certain items rate extra points. But to me there would be a difference whether you're just walking along scanning the ground but some prefer to run all metal looking for fire pits and huts then excavate down a couple feet and find items including things that won't sound off, like bottles and small items that won't register from the surface. Newbies would probably use the method they're familiar with which is scanning the ground hoping to find items either dropped or tossed aside which would be farther between than areas where soldiers sat around the fire or slept in the tent over longer periods of time. Just my scattered thoughts.

You hear All Metal in one Ear & Discriminate in the other ear
at the same time. and Interperate that way.
If this is Correct then you are Actually Getting the Best of Both Worlds
simultaneously.
