Fisher Manta to the beach

[fred]

Many thanks for the info Le Jag.

Think I need to buy one hopefully the price will not be to high.

Some interesting things in the works will look forward to see what the inland model can do.

How about the depth on rings around 8g can it reach 60 cm and beyond.

not what, 50 cm is possible on a big ring
which is already really deep
with the 12 inches but it is expected later larger coils

18 inches on large rings and coins in sand can already be achieved with other high end detectors if you know what you are doing. Admitedly the signals aren't very loud.

yes, but they are few
and none sound as smooth as manta ...

I do not use the 15-inch, 12 is already exhausting to Beach
when I say 50 cm it's a value on
will probably be more, I already dig targets more than 50cm
but I did not do a great depth test for two reasons

the first, when we move the sand we never get the sound
of a target naturally in place for years

and second: too lazy to dig 80 cm just to do a test

Depth sounds very good for 12" coil down to 50cm on small targets as well.

Have dug rings deeper than 50cm with the 15" coil on my Deepster you are right it is not always easy to gauge the depth on targets moving after digging but sometimes when clay is in range it is nice to dig a chunk of it of the bottom to find the ring sitting in its resting place.

That is a great haul you have there, well done.

Looks like a promising machine, I will be needing another pulse machine soon as my Crossbow is on it's last legs now.

whats up with the crossbow Ray?

Hi Brian, it's getting on for 6yrs old now and the effects of salt and sand are starting to show on the control box. As the box is not waterproof you can not rinse it off after a session so the screws are rusty and suspect the same is happening inside.

For a machine that cost me about £200 new it has rewarded me handsomely so getting time to retire it and move on.
