TEST WHITE'S MATRIX M6
The Matrix M6, like all latest models of metal detectors, is presented with black and gold lettering on the sides of the controls and the cable plate gray. The support rod is telescopic type and is broken down into three parts. The first two are aluminum while the third is resistant plastic. And all three black. The plate search measure 9.5 "(22.8 cm), unlike those assembled in the previous models is tall and strong. It is defined as a star embossed on the top and there are four ribs that may represent a four-pointed star. The handle is black and spongy non-slip so you can ensure a good grip to the operator. The arm is black and aluminum. The arm is equipped with a nylon strap, which, once attached to the arm allows a better balance of the weight of the metal detector. The digital display is located above the handle and under it there, screen, drawings and values \u200b\u200bof the explanatory material that can be detected. One thing is immediately evident is that the display has no lighting so it will be hard to read the values \u200b\u200bin the dark. Behind the handle is placed a toggle switch that serves to make the PINPOINT (center of object) and to reset the machine and eventually switch to multi tone. Under the arm made of metal, we find the black box of checks. Unlike the old White's, the Matrix M6 has been greatly simplified and the controls are very limited. We find
In fact, only two potentiometers. One that adjusts the ignition and one for sensitivity and discrimination of metals. There is also a toggle switch to be used depending on the type of terrain on which you are researching. At the top of the control box you will find the headphone jack, as the majority of the detector, is a quarter of an inch and the cover that 'access to the battery compartment. Power is supplied by eight 1.5 V AA batteries housed in a special container inside the control box. Like the vast majority of White's metal detector, even for the new house is not the Matrix M6 supplied rechargeable batteries. We must consider the fact that, in general, rechargeable batteries have a lower voltage (1.2 V) compared to normal batteries (1.5 V) then there is no guarantee the correct operation of metal detectors or at least not guarantee the full autonomy. This could be considered a defect, especially for the most demanding hunters.
TESTS:
dry sand shoreline.
The first site examined, is the beach. Ground usually very difficult for the vast majority of metal detectors. Usually problems are highlighted on the shoreline because the noise due to salt, very often not possible to use full potential of their metal detectors, often forcing the seeker to lower significantly the sensitivity or even worse, to move to the dry sand. But this is not the case with the Matrix M6. The new detector in fact, thanks to the command set to AUTO TRACK BEACH allows a stable research in sea water near the results are quite satisfactory considering the fact that it is not a diving instrument. Before beginning the search we set the multi-tone (lever under the handle facing down) and the pot of discrimination moved to number 1. With the parameters set in this way all three of our samples were collected at discrete starting from 15cm depth of the sample from 20 cents up to 22 cm for the 1 euro coin. Moving on dry sand, as you can imagine, performance is improved. All three samples are collected at greater depths. Switching to a survey of 20 cm for the 20 cent coin, 23 cm for 50 cents and about 28 cm for the 1 euro coin. VDI on the digital display the value varies between approximately +57 and +62 and the sound of a tone detection has high enough to indicate the goodness of their detection.
mountain terrain.
The second ground on which we perform the test engineer, is a land of mountains. Also on this type of Matrix M6 reaches the ground satisfactory performance. As known to all hunters, land of mountains appear to be quite tricky especially when you try detections in the presence of shrubs, bushes and roots that are often an obstacle especially if you work with instruments such motion. These problems are solvable (even if not in an easy and convenient), thanks to pinpoint the trigger that lets you turn the detector from a NON-MOTION MOTION allowing an easier and more accurate object detection. After burying proceed with care the various samples in the survey. First, however, we set the auto track lever to the ON position. The ON position is used on normal soils and automatically identifies the type of terrain adapting to it. We set the potentiometer sensitivity as possible to the right as possible to a point not to have more noise and interference. All three of our coins are recognized without problems and without any interference. The first test is performed on the sample is detected from 20 cents to about 17 cm deep, the 50 cent coin to about 20 cm and 1 euro to 25 cm.
Land average mineralized.
perform the third test in an average mineralized soil. A very common type. Also to meet this test you must set the switch to the On position and audio track again samples are collected at depths similar to previous ones. Or the 20 cent coin is heard about 17 cm, the coin 50 to 20 cm and the 1 euro to 25 cm.
highly mineralized ground.
conduct the ultimate test on one of the most treacherous terrain. That high mineralization. This is a very common type in Italy, especially in areas of central and southern Italy. To make matters worse, in the vicinity of the camp where we conduct the test, there is also the presence of a high voltage power line. To overcome this' last problem you need to set the lever on the audio track LOCK OFF. The LOCK OFF position, blocks automatic recognition of the land and must be used when there is interference. The search turns out to be quite difficult and does not provide satisfactory results.
The mineralization of the land due to the high presence of debris in fact makes it impossible to detect the 1 euro coin to more than 15 cm and the other two samples are even lower depths.
