Every week we see prices cut on detectors that’s already made a name for them self in the field. Now here comes a new kid on the block with two PI detectors and want in on a slice of American pie better known as the market. With so many sales going on before will people who need to move first on what they have will they be able to? I don’t care who you are we all have a limit on a hit we’ll take to buy another. I do believe it will be people who never had a PI before if the price is low enough will have one now. It will be beach hunters and like Nokta said one is a relic PI detector. A lot of people are benefiting from all the sales we see every week but at the same time they saturating the market with their product and leaving little room are none at all for a new PI . Nokta all I can say the naming game is over and I hope to see your two PI detectors on the market soon. That saturation point is getting larger every day and with all the sales we haven’t seen nothing yet. The Best To You Nokta! Chuck

Well you could've fooled me. You seem extremely knowledgeable of Detectors and how they work. -
First Texas Finally Has A New Website
phrunt replied to phrunt's topic in First Texas - Bounty Hunter, Fisher & Teknetics
Ok, I've had correspondence with FT about the issues with their website, and the manuals, they've now given me the correct F19 manual PDF, without all the bizarre OCR or drunk PDF creator errors the one currently hosted on DP has like in the picture below So, here is the new manual with correct formatting. F19 Manual Download Link @Steve Herschbach may want to update the one stored locally here to the new fixed version too. They are now going through and checking and fixing all links on the website, including fixing up the incorrect battery information on models. -
Anyone One Using The Dream Mat
blackjack replied to Dean Stone's topic in Gold Panning, Sluicing, Dredging, Drywashing, Etc
Yes John, my experience is that most of the gold drops into the first riffle or second one, that tells me the system is working. I'm reminded of a quote from a little 'gem' of an Australian made movie 'The Castle' 'tell him he's dreamin'. Translation: a response to an ad in The Trading post for someone that's asking too much money for jousting sticks, Erik Oostra, geof_junk and others may know what I'm talking about. -
Picked Up This Coil For My Whites Sierra Super Pulse
Aureous replied to George Kinsey's topic in Detector Prospector Forum
Its just a mono AI coil. The fold increases sensitivity but reduces depth by a big margin. Best benefit is noise canceling around powerlines or other high EMI environments. PMC here in Australia made a lot these too. -

Testing is supposed to be about actual testing....to prove that the design is capable in all ground types and detecting styles....leave the promotion to others. Sad that so many offerings have succumbed to 'lollipop' social media and glossy video promos instead of silent, closed door professional testing. Minelab do both, but only after the testing has been completed. Algoforce don't need it either. I suppose we will hear soon re the name...gonna be interesting! -
Yes, artificial intelligence can do a lot... but it depends on the area of use... if you zoom in on this picture, you will see how a modern denoising program can edit a noisy photo.. the results are excellent.. it's also because the AI knows exactly what to do... In detection, it is no longer so clear,,, and there are too many factors that affect detection

M8 Finds Gold And Other Things
TampaBayBrad replied to okara gold's topic in Minelab Manticore Forum
Yea, here too. I don't get it. The water is a nice 78 degrees and there are quite a few sunbathers, but nobody in the water. I'm thinking the air temp needs to get hotter and humidity needs to move in in order to make them want to cool off in the water. Maybe they are just waiting for the June/summer last school bell to ring before getting wet. I'll be out there. 😁 -
That's true Norvic, you were fine with the noise, others were not, they fixed the noise, now the detector is better for everyone 🙂

You nailed it Gerry, perhaps ML should get a few newchums also to field test, especially for marketing a very capable turn on and go newchum detector like the 6K. No doubt us old codgers who are so conditioned to noisy detectors, are not the users detector companies should be targeting. However here we are in a thread urging ML to bring us a new capable gold detector, what they have consistently and reliably done since their inception last century, bagging them on an old issue that`s been totally flogged to death. 😉

Nokta Naming Contest End’s Today
phrunt replied to Ridge Runner's topic in Nokta / Makro Metal Detectors
Thanks Chuck, but I wouldn't take on being a tester for anything, well under qualified, the way I see it is if I was buying a detector would I want to have me testing it? I'd say no. Testing products should require a lot of knowledge about the electronics and detectors in general, something I don't have. I also think it would require thousands of hours of in field and off field reporting, detailed documents of findings, something I'd not be willing to do for a free detector, the free part doesn't appeal to me that much. 🙂 I also wouldn't make a good "marketing" type tester, I'm not pretty enough 🙂 -

Ridge Runner replied to Ridge Runner's topic in Nokta / Makro Metal Detectors
Phrunt you may not be in the USA but you’re just like family so you got my vote for a tester if they ask me. Chuck -
I definitely believe more in the natural intelligence of the designers, engineers and field testers of metal detectors... who model the detection properties of a given detector according to their ideas... so that the detector works as best as it should work... artificial intelligence needs a sufficient amount of information for its reliable work... so that the result is really good,,, and such amount of information is often used in error detection... among other things, you need a really good computing power... because at home I sometimes use a de noise program with AI when editing and processing photos... so I know very well the time it takes to process one photo even if the computer works with a powerful graphics card... which is very accelerates photo processing... the processor itself needs 7-8 minutes to process 1 photo..!!! But the computer processor in cooperation with the graphics card can do it in 1 minute.... . A designer...or a tester can work well even with one achieved information or result...and can really develop it sufficiently further...if this result turns out to be the right way to further improve the detection...or the analysis of the detected signal ... Here I believe, for example, in better electronics of the detector, and the technical design of the detector, which can also provide the prerequisites for a better input signal from the target for the detector, which can process it better than it was before

Simon, I mean that the VLF discrimination mode ATX..was used more for the discrimination of iron than for the identification of a non-ferrous target..especially when we assume that we are working in a more difficult terrain..but it was still a good idea... with the current development of the ability of VLF detectors to work in mineralization, this can translate into really improved possibilities of such discrimination.... I think there is a strong area of possibilities as to how it can be done...
-
Most overrated idea ever. You can already use the AI between your ears. Steve H. 🤣 I have another brilliant idea 💡. How about everyone has a dedicated digger person named Mongo that digs all targets for you. Then us egotistical detectorists can do what we do best. No AI, discrimination, no 2 in one detectors needed. Just Scott & Mongo.

So, you're saying their GBP manual is wrong as it clearly states just to use one? The F19 manual doesn't specify, it doesn't even show you need a washer 🙂 I think you're right, two seems best, but odd their manuals are so strange on the topic. The same washers are at the local hardware store, in red colour in the plumbing section, the ones with my F19 were black.

Target ID, VLF type discrimination and more sensitivity to smaller targets than a PI offers, the 6000 has nothing on a VLF on small gold, it's more equal to a Gold Bug Pro than a higher frequency unit, but even then, a GBP can pick up a #9 lead pellet at an inch or so, the 6000 can't see one at all so perhaps its more like a 13kHz detector, or maybe lower. I didn't know about the AKA, thanks for pointing it out I'll take a look.
