I think it has the same 7 tones as the M6, time will tell as more people get a chance to use it more.
Here is more further on down yet http://www.findmall.com/read.php?31,1882098

I didn't see the video, just going by what others have said.

Hello Ivan,
Just picked up an SST this morning, took the long drive but had a chance to detect for an hour before starting work.
Don't have an M6 to compare the SST with but did have an MXT with same 6"x10" DD which I recorded on paper test results on various coins and a gold nugget before selling the MXT.
Using full sense with both the MXT & SST and these are air test not actual buried targets, The SST fared better across the board on all targets both low and high conductive.
1" to 2" inches more on the SST with the exception a penny air tested 2.5" inches further than the MXT, a noticeable increase on all conductive both low and high.
However, The iron audio is so close to the lowest conductive audio on the weaker foil pieces that it's going to take a while to train my ears on the weaker lower conductive signals. Gold nuggets will sound so close to iron audio will take a while to train the ears, the audio difference is noticeable but will take a bit to get the weaker signals down.
I counted four tones, if that's all it has that's enough for me. I'm a two tone hunter lowest for iron the second audio for non ferrous, but I can already see liking the SST once I train my ears to master the audio break between iron and the lowest gold range tone.
Gain is noticeable, hope this extra horsepower carries out in the field. One other noticeable feature is the weight, felt like I was swinging a feather. Feels much lighter than the MXT?

The SST is only available in Jimmy Sierra's White Territory (CA, AZ, NV, I tested one at a local dealer.
Software version is M6 V. 1.0.
In my very quick tests at the dealer it was more sensative than the MXT. It has the tones of the M6. More apparent gain and better audio than the MXT. It has the same ground tracking as the GMT and MXT and can be locked . There is a salt mode as well. Operating is Motioin All Metal with pinpoint on the trigger pull. You can ground track out small ferrous (nails, bobby pins) and lock the ground track to eliminate nusiance small ferrous targets. Or you can switch to Salt mode which will eliminate some more at the expense of small gold and depth.
Very responsive to low conductors.

Hey Paul,
Congrats on the SST. I'm glad to hear you like it.
If you have a hard wood floor give that salt tracking thing a try its awesome that it keeps the iron disced out when you switch back to normal and you can hear it get hotter on the nugget.
But the only way to get it back to all metal response is to turn it off and back on.
As far as gain in the field you will notice it for sure it punches in there when you crank it up past the preset. But the soil here is not too hot.
I see the SST being a good jewelry coin beach hunter for me. I still want to see how it handles black sand.
Good Luck

Thanks godigit1,
I'll try the blacksand iron trick, will use square nails to replicate what your wooden floors did.
I'm used to relic mode on the MXT, anything above iron gives a noticeable higher tone no second guessing between both tones. Guess I'll have to train my ears with the SST, another important area I want to do and haven't done so is test for separation in iron sites. But based from an air test the SST didn't fare well with a square nail and penny in audio, VDI does show a conductive target but the iron audio over powers the conductive audio making it extremely differcult to hear the higher tone.
Guess will need to relay on the VDI screen when hunting in iron sites, the SST iron audio washes out the higher tone if iron is masking a good weak target.
Thanks again, appreciate the help every bit helps.

I heard they were going to make the new ones with a 2 position trigger? Tone I.D. AND Pinpoint with no single tone? Which to me is good as tone I.D. is the only way to hunt as far as I'm concerned.
Hi Paul,
For those iron or trash infested sites I still plan on using the G2 to clean up.
My main reason for getting the SST was for more depth at the beach and in cleaner parks, fields or wooded areas. I detect at the beaches in Tahoe and some of them have so much black sand I cant even get the coil of the G2 more than 2 inches away or it overloads. My pre GB SE 2.0 software bug with saturated audio will hunt it but at great depth loss. I'm hoping the GMT tracking does a better job.
It seems pretty good in the parks I took it to I did find a nickel with a nail on top of it the audio was scratchy and itchy to LOL. the vdi was bouncing but mostly in the nickel range. I have not had allot of time on it yet so still have to dig a few hundred bazillion targets to get to know it. To me it seems at about a 1000 targets with a machine and your just getting to know its personality. Another 1000 and were old friends. By then you have covered most of the variety your style of hunting can throw at you.
Hey RedRockNv,
Ive been testing a nugget just as a sample for sensitivity to micro jewelry and low conductors. I have a Gm3 G2 and two GBs and a SD 2200v2 for my nugget arsenal.
If the SST has any use at all in prospecting it is that silent search mode and tracking. After playing with it it is able to track out small iron and still make that nugget sound off. even in salt mode it still gets the nugget as well as some gold machines. So the benefit would be both what the MXT became famous for ( a good VDI, DEPTH sens to low conductors.) And being able to hear your target amongst all the tin flakes you just tracked out. This machine would be good for gram and up pickers at depths a Higher freq will not hit. Lets not forget it has the GMT tracking close but different than the MT. Should handle hot ground a little better.
Now to find a patch and see.
P.S I live in CC too I just travel for work be there in a week or so to hit Tahoe.
Be Well

You're right godigit, like you I feel the SST may be better for parks, ocean dry sand or open areas over the MXT due to the extra depth.
Now, Thinking of getting a larger coil for the SST for open areas, can see it punching even deeper with a larger coil.
Time will tell if I can get the conbined iron tone and lowest tone down without viewing the VDI screen, tough for me relax and go by sound. Until then, Will constantly be viewing the VDI screen in iron laced sites.
Take care,
Paul (Ca)

No more results with the SST?

Should have a coupe of days off this Saturday & Sunday, been working twelve days straight two off the past few months hard to get out and swing a coil.
Hopefully, hit an old park this weekend see how the SST does. Looking forward to seeing what it'll do in Explorer turf

I would love to see how it compares to the Explorer on deep turf silver! I know it is a higher frequency,But the M6 runs the same one and they do pretty good on silver coins.
