Minelab Manticore and Carbon fibre shafts problem!

Did you know your Manticore picks up its own carbon fibre shaft as if it were a good target, this happens in a range of modes and frequencies, have you ever wondered why putting your detector down does it go off randomly, we often put it down to the coil cable, but the rod is far more reactive to the coil than its cable. This will have to be detrimental to the performance of the detector, especially for prospectors poking and prodding into rocky areas with the detector sounding off on it's shaft.
Here I'm using a carbon shaft from a different detector to show the problem, it does it with it's own shaft too.
You can also test just how conductive your shaft is with a pinpointer to it, even at their low frequencies they scream on the Carbon shaft.
This isn't exclusive to the Manticore either, all decent VLF's will pick up a carbon shaft just the same, and PI's do too, the Algoforce and GPX 6000 being ones that you can go try it on, both come from factory with a carbon shaft. The Legend from Nokta also comes with a carbon shaft and has the exact same problem.
This is a must watch video on the problem from a First Texas (Fisher metal detectors) engineer, Carl Moreland demonstrating why I care so much about this problem.
