and the rest of what Bruce Lee said, "It is like ice dissolving in water. When one has no form, one can be all forms; when one has no style, he can fit in with any style."
His concept of blending all styles as an individual one struck me as I read this article about the Nautilus Detectors. It is a very long read BUT I clipped several paragraphs from it that intrigued me. Especially the concept of the coil being an extension of your arm, connected to your brain,etc. I have never seen anyone on here make a conceptual comparison like this and yet it is very insightful. I am a newbie here so I am still learning audio and I am sure those who have mastered it think of this automatically without verbally acknowledging it. I have been involved in computer chess for well over 15 years and could tell when a programmer made a change to the style of his program for the better or for the worst. What program someone was using when they said they were using something else. Each had their own style. What I am getting at is what have most of you seasoned detectors learned in a conceptual way that can be of benefit for someone starting out or things that you have learned in a practical way. The words Concept, Intuition ring in my thoughts ...

2nd part of the thread:
COIN & JEWELRY HUNTING WITH THE NAUTILUS DMC IIB and DMC IIBa
Think of your coils electromagnetic field as an extension of your forefinger and visualize yourself
as poking your finger into the ground and feeling around. The dual mode system of the Nautilus can
connect you to whats in the ground like no other machine if you, the operator, do your part. Think
about the targets size, shape, depth and conductance as compared to the sounds you hear. With
time and experience, its kind of like osmosis, the knowledge and proper techniques will just "seep"
into you and become automatic but that requires some effort up front by you. Soon, you wont have to
think about what to do, it will just become automatic.
With experience you will be able to make a good guess at a targets depth as you also determine its
size, shape and conductivity by maintaining good coil discipline and techniques. Some people just
think of the coil as something you swing back and forth and it will do magical things for you. That
may be true to some extent but it is much more enjoyable to learn to use it as an extension of your
brain, arm and hand.
AND
It is hard to accurately talk about the sounds targets make on the Nautilus with the written word but
the Nautilus has an outstanding language of its own that you will learn to speak. With the right
operator technique you can coax it to tell you some secrets. What does a good target sound like? As
one old timer said, "You will know it when you hear it."
