These tests mean very little. You want a certain outcome it's produced through the program selection.
Real world detecting comparisons in the dirt.
Not a test garden either.
Sure they give an idea, but not a true sense of reality-based.

Yeah.
Done seen it work in the wild.
Works on buried setups too.
Quit watching if you don’t think this is worthy info.
Yeah 1” deep gold ring a no go beside nail sweeping down the barrel. Hmmm
Manticore lights it up. Hmmm

Yeah, when manticore user walks behind you and boom. Then what. Hmm
Yeah. Could happen. For sure.

Seriously? Anybody with any detector could "walk behind you and boom". If it weren't so, then every "hunted out yard" would really be hunted out and nobody would ever find anything again. People miss things. Sweeps aren't perfect. Overlaps aren't perfect. Angles aren't perfect. Detectors aren't perfect. And perhaps most importantly, people's experience isn't perfect. Just because I walk over a find and the guy behind me nails it doesn't mean his machine is better, it just means I missed it and he didn't and today wasn't my day. Yeah, it happens. For sure.

You made my point for me.
A coin or gold ring laying beside a nail.
Which gives more angular approach to detect? Deus 2 running say fast program or 40 kHz mono program vs a single freq detector model say running 14 kHz? Assuming same coil size…. Hmm
And if we throw the Manticore in the equation then what? Hmmm
This is the reason I showed folks this with Manticore. It can expose a nonferrous target near a nail. Approaching from what we call most difficult approach angle.
