[@socalmetaldetecting]

Great tutorial that explains single/multifrequency and the benefits/limitations that come along with each frequency. Easy for anyone to understand!

[@calabashdiggeradventures]

Thanks!

[@darrelwilson5564]

This is perfect just what I envisioned a way to get all involved.. brilliant starting points for everyone.. this will prove that there is no perfect machine and get to know your machine what suits your searching.. Well done 👌💪

[@calabashdiggeradventures]

Thanks!

[@MidwestPicker]

Thanks for sharing!

[@calabashdiggeradventures]

You bet!

[@GENOBURRITO1]

Now these kind of videos are what I’m looking for. Much better than the same old , same old. Probably one of your best instructional videos I’ve seen. Good to see the big boys can all play together nicely too. Hope you continue this trend Calabash. I would like to also see the differences in park , field , beach and gold modes as well. This video on frequency was well explained and on point. Look forward to more.

[@calabashdiggeradventures]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@FRANKCOPE]

Good video brother....I don't understand why other channels don't talk about this subject much.

[@Aswaguespack]

By virtue of the Great State of Detecting & Relic Discoveries, we hereby appoint thee Dr. Calabash Digger, PhD (Physician of Digging) 😂

[@calabashdiggeradventures]

Thanks!

[@garybarbatelli1972]

Good job on this one Digger. I learned something that will help me run my Nox 900 to it's full potential.

[@calabashdiggeradventures]

Thanks!

[@timbenham516]

Thanks for the video. According to Andy sabisch the Legend on M1 is weighted as follows 4 kHz being the highest then 10 then 15 20 and 40 at the lowest end of the weight. It's the exact opposite on M2 it starts at 40 being the highest.I'm not sure about M3.

[@calabashdiggeradventures]

Yeah I think M3 is probably low too ...To help deal with foil..

[@ohiofredl]

Great vid great denestration.Hope some class wil cover what is transmitted out of controll box of machine when you start hunting ,also how the coil come into play on transmission and reciveing a target .Why some coils consider hotter than other coils.Thanks again for vid and your time.

[@calabashdiggeradventures]

That might be above my pay grade..

[@UABFWSS]

Observations from a youtuber’s video, testing frequencies with an oscilloscope: Equinox 800 & 900 frequencies (appear to be these on the oscilloscope, approximate): Park and Field modes run 7.75kHz & 38kHz, Beach modes run 7.75 & 38 (& possibly a 3rd of 17.95), Gold modes run 7.75 & 38kHz. Manticore: All Terrain General 7.75 28-29 50kHz, ATF same, ATLC same, ATHC 13kHz 48.5kHz, ATTR 7.75 28-29 50kHz, Beach modes (possibly 4 freq) 7.75 13 28 50, Gold modes 7.75 28 48. The big unknowns, are how much of each frequency response is actually being sampled or used in each mode, other than their "lower/higher weighted" mentioning (all controlled in circuitry/processing/algorithms/etc). Deus 2 is the only one that displayed 4kHz into the mix, in dive mode and in deep hc. The guy notes in his comments, the lack of an observed lower frequency with manticore mode ATHC, he tried to see it, but didn’t. Not sure if maybe his oscilloscope is maybe only two channel model, thus why it charts perfectly on D2 and the two frequency modes on the minelabs, not sure.

[@Aswaguespack]

Good info. Thanks for your analysis

[@calabashdiggeradventures]

Thanks!

[@captnse]

I’m not sure if I completely believe these values, especially for AT HC on the manticore….The ‘core manual even states (on p.38) that the AT HC mode can achieve an operating frequency below 4 KHz…. Did you leave out the lowest freq for AT HC in your above reply? 🤔

[@Aswaguespack]

For RF frequencies thé measuring device usually recommended is a Spectrum Analyzer which according to technicians is more accurate for measuring radiation at RF frequencies (than an oscilloscope). I think that maybe there might be a Detectorist out there who has access to a Spectrum Analyzer or possibly knows a FCC Licensed Radio Technician who has a Spectrum Analyzer or has access to one in a Lab to test the frequency output of some of the devices currently being discussed.

[@UABFWSS]

@@captnse yeah, it would be nifty if someone else out there would post oscilloscope findings from it. Just posting what I saw, which appeared to be spot on for 900 and D2 (and 800 in the past). They don’t emit RF from the coils, only from the bluetooth radio.

[@davidfrazier1186]

Good stuff right there. Excellent video, very informative. Very appreciative.👍🍺

[@calabashdiggeradventures]

Much appreciated!

[@davidross43]

This is the kind of tutorials that I learn stuff from. Very well done Calabash. I'm still trying to figure out which program and why, using a notching system, would be the best program to use on a coin shooting program on the D2. I have one I believe set up in general now and it works great but always looking to tweek things better and still learning what causes clad to come in at a closer VDI reading in some settings over others.

[@calabashdiggeradventures]

DEEP HC...Smoking on coins..ignores foil like other..

[@billybarker-mp3mt]

Good video. For legend users a dime mixed with foil will average around nickle signal 25 or 26 in multi 2

[@na3kh461]

Nice education in metal detecting the useful variation in frequency, I found lots silver coins using intro level metal detector ( Platinum ) made by teknetics uses 7 khz was hot on silver up 11 inch. CD you are right lower the frequency better for silver

[@calabashdiggeradventures]

Thanks for the info!

[@america2revolt]

Learning more!!👍👍

[@calabashdiggeradventures]

Great!

[@jesselucero8503]

Well done! Very helpful and appreciate the lesson. What particular setting on the Deus 2 will eliminate iron grunt? Seems like no matter how high I discriminate, it still acts like an all metal mode.

[@calabashdiggeradventures]

Cut the iron volume to 0

[@jesselucero8503]

Thank you! Have asked this question on several different channels and only you would respond. Appreciate it!

[@calabashdiggeradventures]

You are welcome!

[@emptyvessal]

Great Stuff from Professor Calabash and his magic Whiteboard. Just for information purposes, the abbreviation for Hertz is Hz and Kilohertz is KHz or kHz. 😀

[@captnse]

Darn…I thought this was an instruction on carbonate hardness (KH) in an aquarium tank…sorry for the off humor Calabash 😁

[@Aswaguespack]

@@captnse 😂 good one Captn Dan

[@calabashdiggeradventures]

Thanks for the info! I am not the sharpest tool in the shed...

[@franksflytraps]

nice presentation. Whats the ideal single freq for copper 1700-1800's coins?

[@calabashdiggeradventures]

8 to 14...should high Conductors really well

Need that high here in Japan...Bronze Coins / Foil are the same. Thanks for review

[@calabashdiggeradventures]

[@jethrocarpenter3106]

Calabash would you try doing a land hunt in the Dive program. Salt sens 1 recovery speed 2 as this is the optimal setting for running this program. Also its better in full tones.

[@calabashdiggeradventures]

TNSHARPSHOOTER has videos on this...

[@speits84]

Simplex win!!!!

[@calabashdiggeradventures]

OK...

[@goldsmith001]

Is there a frequency that falses less on nails and such? Any differences in hard to detect places like the ones that you have taken us to in the past? Excellent video, well done sir!

[@calabashdiggeradventures]

I like higher Freqs in iron...

[@RelicHunter001]

That’s a good one

[@calabashdiggeradventures]

THANKS..

[@m1anm]

Hey Calabash, how about doing a head to head comparison on newer pin pointers? I have the one that came with the Anfibio Multi. Works ok I guess. Would like to know how they compare, or which ones are good, better or best. Anyways, thanks for the great videos you produce.

[@kody3377]

I’m in agreement with that. Would love for you to show 5 of best models on the market and do I comparison test. I use the Garrett At & does very well & I like the easy On/Off button. Did not Like the Nokta Pulse dive at all. Hated the buttons. Had the Minelab Pro Find 35 for a short period & also didn’t like the buttons or the sound. I’m interested in the XP MI series or the Tek Point/fisher F Pulse. I’ve heard the Tek Point is deeper? Idk 🤷‍♂️

[@calabashdiggeradventures]

I have tons of experience with the Garrett Carrot and The XP Pinpointer...Need to think about doing head to heads with pinpointers

[@andysboxinggym4972]

If I want to just search for silver coins is there anything wrong with detecting in strictly the lowest frequency only? With the 900.

[@captnse]

You’ll dig more trash in single freq operation….bottle caps will tend to sound like a high conductor in single freq operation….also, you may not be able to unmask a deep silver coin next to iron in single freq as well as you can in multi-freq. I have hunted in multi-freq for the last 15 years, and I hunt trashy turf/parks for deep silver.

[@calabashdiggeradventures]

You can but what Capt Dan said..

[@jomon723]

Hey Big Cal Do you think it's better to stay in Multi or move to say a 40 for looking for objects that come in the foil to nickel range (Bronze) I will check it out when my MD gets here, Been working in the single frequency for the last 40 years, except for my CZ-21 I'm getting so old, I go back to the push button retune days, but not the BFO days thank God. Thanks, Have a nice thanksgiving 🦃

[@calabashdiggeradventures]

You too!

[@robertwolfe2971]

How come they don't have selectable frequency pinpointers.

[@calabashdiggeradventures]

HMMM

[@kody3377]

When in hunting in heavier iron sights with Legend would you notch anything out? I always leave it wide open. I like hearing all tones & iron. Also if you hear a nice high conductor and you also hear a iron object next to it. Then if the VDI is jumpy you know it could be a good target. Correct me if I’m wrong. Awesome video man!

[@calabashdiggeradventures]

Very interesting topic will be good for a Live Stream this week..

This has been one of your best video congrats buddy you are in the right path , hope more people sees this and join to help your channel , just stay neutral and it will all work out

[@calabashdiggeradventures]

Much appreciated

[@Mizo476]

Excellent video calabash thank you for being unbiased towards the metal detecting vendors. I've read some terrible comments that people have written about you and your videos. I guess these people are jealous or maybe they just like drama I don't understand them. Regardless everyone probably has their primary detector that best suits their ears soil ect. Like you said there is no perfect detector. I love my Deus 2 but for the price I feel XP could have given us a better lower shaft than that wobbly thing that comes stock. I love Minelab but there tonal nuances not so much and I feel the ergonomics could e better.Respectable Debates is a good thing.

[@mpmccann869]

Awesome video, Calabash! Thanks again for all you're doing for this great hobby. 👍

[@calabashdiggeradventures]

More to come!

[@ekimn2695]

Great job CD. Really well done and informative. A couple thoughts: If you touch on this subject again compare signals on your gold coin to the silver coin - using the different programs. New detectorists might be surprised at what a difference the program choice can make. I find it helpful to go online and read the owner's manual for machines I'm possibly interested in buying, long prior to buying the machine. It helps me better understand that machine, and (hopefully) helps me make a more informed buying decision as to which machine is best suited for my soil conditions and the targets I most want to find. You might want to put a link to the owner's manuals for the machine(s) you are discussing.

[@calabashdiggeradventures]

Thanks good idea..

[@lukeboydetectingtresure1235]

I can give you precise frequencies them all detectors works on
