3 or -3

[daddyflea]

On a Forum a Member recommended Ferrous limits at 7 upper and 3 lower. I do not seem to have a positive 3 looks to be only a -3. Is this correct or am I missing something?

Good question

Lower ferrous # are only 0 to 9 there are no negative numbers . The nox does use negative numbers unlike the manticore there are no negative numbers in the settings for the Minelab Manticore’s Ferrous Limits.Unlike older detectors (such as the Minelab Equinox or various Whites machines) that used negative numbers like -1 to -9 to represent iron, Minelab completely redesigned the interface for the Manticore.How the Manticore Handles Iron Instead of Negative Numbers0 to 99 Scale: The Target ID (TDI) numbers on the Manticore are strictly positive, ranging from 0 to 99.The 2D ID Map: Instead of relying on a negative sign to show iron, the Manticore uses a vertical Y-axis on its 2D screen map. Ferrous targets are indicated visually by how far they deviate up or down from the clean, white center line.The Ferrous Settings: When adjusting the upper or lower limits themselves, you modify them using positive integers (0 to 9 for the lower limits, and 0 to 14 or 25 for the upper limits, depending on the software version).If you see a target flash on your screen, you will know it is iron if the visual dot drops into the lower gray shadow area or climbs into the upper gray shadow area, regardless of the positive number showing on the screen. sube

Not true my Manticore shows a Negative Number. I know you are not a Liar and this is why I made the post. Picture below. Also you said 0-9 and mine is on -14 in the picture. Maybe can you explain?

I see your point . Minelabs own website says
e MANTICORE metal detector does not display negative ferrous numbers in its target identification system. Instead, the Target ID scale for conductivity ranges from 0 to 99. In Single Frequency mode, conductive targets show a Target ID from 0 to 99, while ferrous targets appear with an ID from 1 to 19 and are marked with a red ferrous indication—there are no negative numbers. The ID Map helps distinguish between ferrous and non-ferrous targets using this scale, but negative values are not used in the MANTICORE's display .

Very interesting . ? would be do nails or iron come up with negative numbers ? sube
