DP mode
The DP (Deep Program) mode of the Minelab Manticore metal detector is specifically designed to increase detection depth in terrains where surface interference and mineralization are minimal. This mode is ideal for searching for larger targets at greater depths and is particularly suitable for large, low contamination sites such as fields or meadows.
Key features of DP mode:
-
Increased Depth: DP mode optimizes the detector settings for maximum range, allowing detection of larger metal objects at greater depths.
-
Lower sensitivity to small objects.
-
Optimised for less mineralised soils: DP mode is most effective in areas with low levels of soil mineralisation where there is not as much interference from minerals in the soil.
-
User settings: users can adjust certain parameters such as sensitivity, discrimination and threshold to achieve optimal results depending on the specific search conditions.
-
Volume and Tone Control: In DP mode, the audio signal and volume settings can also be adjusted, helping users to better differentiate between different types of metals based on the audio response.
Usage Recommendations:
DP mode is the best choice for prospectors who want to explore areas where there is little surface interference and where larger and deeper objects are expected. It is important to note that in areas with high levels of mineralization or disturbance, this mode may be less effective and may require further adjustment of settings.
DP mode is one of many that Minelab Manticore offers, and its ability to target deeper targets makes it a valuable tool for advanced metal detecting.
