Test run part 2

[laplander]

I am not even going into the adjustments/ programs etc.. the little time I had it would not do it justice but there will be plenty of options for customizing.
Just like the Equinox it performed well with factory settings.
The only real disappointment was the lack of a wireless module which may not be much of an issue as the wireless headphones provided are a substantial upgrade over the Equinox's
Looks like sometime before the first of the year for the first shipment with the usual chip supply demand in the conversation.

Thanks for posting Jeff....I was disappointed to find out no module available, I'd rather use earbuds. But, the new Bluetooth LE being used sounds great , hopefully wireless earbuds using this technology became available soon.

The technology is constantly evolving and always out running production LOL

Would have liked to have swung it out in the fields for a day, soon!

Id love to hear your thoughts on the 2D screen, and the data it provides...
Do you feel like it was useful in determining weather you made a dig/no dig decision?
Do you feel it would be useful in differentiating a pull tab, from a gold ring?
Could you get a good feel on the shape of a buried object, before you dig?
Thanks in advance.

I would say yes to all except the pull tab gold ring. but they weren't in the test area.
I was nice to see multiple targets identified according to their ferrous/conductive makeup.
Those of us that cut our teeth on the older minelabs will understand how useful a feature this is and I for one am glad to see it back.
The 100 scale on the TID should be very useful for detectorist wanting to notch or cherry pick targets.

Thank you for your feedback!
Looking forward to trying one out myself!

I think alot has to do about beach replenish and how many drunk people are losing things. One time was great and the next nothing . It is still wonderful to get out.
