Nexus 'unmasking was an after thought'

What do I mean by "Unmasking Was An After Thought"?

Going all the way back to the inception of Nexus as a metal detecting brand there were two main focal points, the first was depth, this was the main focus and continues to be, the second was reliable discrimination at extreme depths, this is something that has alluded a lot of detector manufacturers for decades. It's safe to say that both of these aspects have been achieved and will continued to be focused on and improved upon when developing future Nexus machines. 

Nexus detectors are inherently slow recovery units, it's this that contributes to their ability to punch deep, they were never really designed to be 'fast'. To a degree this changed with the introduction of the high frequency coil known as the silver scout, this is a fast recovery coil that has the ability to unmask and separate very well. There's one point here that might come as a surprise to some out there, unmasking wasn't a focal point at all in the design of any Nexus detector, it was more of an "after thought". 

I've had many discussions with Nexus about this and they genuinely didn't want to be thinking about high frequency coils because they can be a pain to tune in certain conditions, meaning that they're not as user friendly as the low frequency double D configuration coils. Also having a machine that can pick up tiny targets wasn't really a priority either, a lot of professional treasure hunters that use Nexus have zero interest in the really tiny items.

Due to the demand of their customer base and the fact that both separation and unmasking started to evolve and become more of a focus for both manufacturers and users, it made sense to 'touch base' on both these subjects. It was from this point research and development went into a higher frequency coil that was rather vicious at separating and unmasking. Those that have watched my videos will know how well both my SS coils separate and unmask, they really do a fantastic job on iron, bottle caps, ring pulls etc.

So what's the point of this blog? if Nexus can unmask so well using the high frequency coils when the whole concept wasn't really considered a priority, then how well will future machines and coils perform both these tasks when it's focused on properly. I've been told by Nexus in regards to recovery speed and unmasking that "We Haven't Seen Anything Yet" meaning that the current performance in these two areas are currently the worst it's going to be. I'm looking forward to seeing what materialises in the future.
