content: Nothing wrong with horse, tastes a lot better than goat.checked the supermarket today, shelves full of Marmite and Bovril. No problems with supply, though to post some to NZ or Daveland will result in it being nicked by customs.

With bit (lot?) more technology there seems to be way to detect the reaction difference of ferrous and nonferrous metals and apparently mapping that info alongside signal response strength can do a lot for rejecting nails, bottlecaps and ground efect.A lot of wankwords and pictures of the neat features can be found at.http://www.minelab.com/emea/consumer/knowledge-base/minelab-technologiesI tend to belive that some of those ideas definitely do increase the sensitivity and selectivity of the system. Multi-channel measurements, with variances of frequecy, pulse stength etc may well be the trick.
