Am I Given Free Metal Detectors?

Am I Given Free Metal Detectors? There's a very quick and simple answer to the question above - NO! I'm not given any free machines to shamelessly promote through my small and almost pointless YouTube channel. Unlike a lot of people out there I can't be purchased for any amount of money or free products. A little while back I made a video showing all the payments "I could find" that I'd made to Nexus metal detectors because I'd been accused by some very sad and pathetic individuals of being a Nexus shill. The above point can be demonstrated with all the machines that I use, it's really very simple, if I see a handmade analog detector that looks interesting I will purchase it, use it, make videos with it and write about it. Unfortunately due to social media we now live in a very pathetic universe where people will literally do and say anything if it means they can get free products, views and subscribers.

Nexus 'Engaging Mineral Control When Hunting In Iron'

Quite a few years ago now I recall having a conversation with Georgi from Nexus about the benefits of engaging mineral control when hunting in iron. I remember adopting this approach with a few of my Thames videos when I was using the Nexus MP V2. As time passed I actually forgot about this point until I made my latest video demonstrating the new Nexus 4' concentric coil unmasking silver coins on the Nexus cube test. 

Both power and high sensitivity isn't your friend when it comes to hunting in iron, switching on the mineral control reduces the overall sensitivity of the machine. Of course this can affect depth but as we all know, you can't punch super deep in iron anyway. If like me you run your discrimination as low as possible, engaging the mineral control when hunting in iron removes and mutes a lot of the small chirps that can occur.

Below is my latest unmasking demo using the MP V3+ paired with the new 4' concentric coil, I'm going to get out hunting with it for now but I will rerun this same demonstration with the mineral control engaged so we can see the overall difference it makes when it comes to handling iron.

    Thank you, Paul. I look forward to then. Experience is key to success. Knowledge, gained through vast experience makes Master. Little wonder then, the dumb ignorance of your main detractors.; the neuveau "experts". Ex-spurts, more like.

    Excellent! I look forward to seeing your mineral control demonstration and I will start experimenting with that myself since I just received my 4 inch coil. Thanks for your posts and videos.
