I have posted this as some may find it interesting and it raises a few points.I have always and will always maintain that nailboard tests and anything done in air are an absolute waste of time and that tests on real targets are the only way to judge a detectors performance.What you can see from this is any good detector will find most of the targets regardless of how much they cost.......it doesn't matter if its a simple machine or one with an infinate number of adjustments or programs.This test could easily be repeated against the manticore im betting.Most targets in the ground are found like these.......there aren't a massive percentage that are hiding under nails and if there were,if any of you have done a proper test in ground conditions,you will know that most detectors will not perform against targets masked by iron in the ground like they will on a ridiculous nailboard test.Sometimes i think its a case of people thinking if they own the latest best machine they will find more but in reality and as videos like this show,this isn't really the case.I've watched a lot of videos on nox's,manticores and the deus and i cant see how any of these are game changers either........the used market tells its own story.Just my own observations and why i wont be buying any of the latest offerings.......im still waiting for the machine that will make a big difference.
Disclaimer.......if anyone has recieved a manticore,deus etc for Christmas,that aint my problem.
