XP METAL DETECTORS?

Good Day All.
Here's a video I forgot about that is on YouTube. To do the test he brought back some mineralised soil from a patch at a site where he found coins. He is testing three detectors. Last one tested is the XP GoldMaxx giving an iffy signal on a deep gold coin.
Cheers

I think you are totally correct as the wet sand instructions suggest its best over flat sand and if it was twin or multifrequency it would not matter what state the surface was in.
In some ways this could be a draw back as I still would like one machine that did it all well. On the other hand I prefer to detect with a single frequency.

Went to do a bit of detecting under the TALL power lines. The amount of current being drawn through the power lines does vary and my test wasn't at a time when power demands were high. Can't say it bothered the XP. Would have been nice to use a smaller search coil instead of the standard one. 
Should of brought my headphones. Iron volume was too low for me. The area is a sandy loam. I didn't expect to find anything of value and I was right. Lots of iron about. Detector was a buzzing. I did get good tones only to find a bottle cap and aluminum cans. Got a loud iron buzz and when I dug it up it was a chunk of iron.
LOL, I would do better to dig the front lawn up and enjoy a cold one.

The problem is that they started to build the radio headphones transmitter directly onto the circuit board and its always transmitting at a frequency thats illegal in the U.S.
If you want an XP then you can buy a Mk 1 before the transmitter became part of the main circuit and it should be legal.
Question is why would you want to when many who have the various XP models have upgraded to either the T2 or the F75 both of which have more options, work better on the beach and perform better as a single machine. With the XP's you really need two detectors with you at all times. A low frequency model like the Adventis and a high frequency Goldmaxx.
The new machine may have even more problems with your regulations but if it is approved then at least you have different frequency options which should offer the best of both worlds but without the drawbacks of the BBS/FBS multifrequency systems. The price though will restrict sales.
