So I sold off my two Tesoro machines, mortgaged the house, and was ready to buy the Manticore today which I hear so much about. Then I randomly ran into this video with quite frankly is a bit scary if you are spending $1600 for a detector.
*Has this issue of not registering gold jewelry been fixed by Minelab yet?
The video is 12 minutes.
Thanks for your input,
MM

Looks like it isn't an issue if you view the video until the end where it shows you need to use the correct mode depending on where you're hunting. You can also change the discrimination notches in most if not all modes to suit your hunting style. I don't see a problem here at all.....but, of course, I hunt in all metal anyway! :laughing7:

On most discriminator detectors, you will notch out (some) gold if you notch out aluminum. Some modes of some machines do so by default.
