Quest V80, V60 Coming Soon!!

[Steve Herschbach]

Lots of interesting stuff here. Auto ID stability?

Maybe if the numbers are bouncing something like 23,20,23,21,23, 24,23,23, 23, 23, 21, 24, 23, 23, 23 it automatically settles on 23 averaging the numbers for you when auto ID stability is turned on after a few sweeps over the target, does for you what your brain normally does 🙂

My only gripe would be if they limited VCO/Pitch audio to gold mode only as they only mention the standard 2, 3, 5, 99 tones.  Minelab wised up and took a cue from Nokta and put dP (pitch) as an audio option for all Nox 900 modes. (Pretty minor gripe).

The enhancements are due to the speedy processors. I think that it is first time that I have seen the processor details mentioned in a detector write-up.

[DSMITH]

if someone in the U.S purchased one of these where is the closest repair center if it need service or warranty, would it have to go to the Netherlands for warranty or service, or is their a U.S based service center

It seems they have a neat little app for Apple and Android too for previous models, I would think they'd make it work on the v80 too.  A bit like that XP Go-Terrain app that never quite got there.

that would be pretty neat to track where you have detected with the V80, also to update with out a cable would be great also

From Quest Detectors - Gyro Sensor explained:

The Future of Metal Detecting: How Built-in Gyro Sensors are Changing the Game

 

Metal detector technology has come a long way in recent years, and one of the most exciting advancements is the integration of a gyro sensor. A gyro sensor is a device that measures the angular velocity and orientation of an object. In the context of metal detecting, a gyro sensor can monitor and record the swing speed and gesture of the detector, which can greatly enhance the overall metal detection experience.

 

 

 

 

One of the primary advantages of a metal detector with a built-in gyro sensor is that it can help to improve target identification. When a detector is swung, the gyro sensor can evaluate the swing speed and determine whether the target is a valuable metal or a common piece of trash. This can be especially useful when hunting in areas with a high amount of trash, as it can help to eliminate false signals and save time.

 

Another advantage of a gyro sensor is that it can help to improve the accuracy of the detector. By monitoring the swing speed and gesture, the detector can adjust its settings to optimize the search for specific types of targets. This can be especially useful when searching for small targets, such as coins or jewelry, as it can help to ensure that they are not missed. The gyro sensor also improves the overall performance of the detector. Monitoring and recording the swing speed and gesture can help to identify and correct any problems with the detector. For example, if the detector is not working properly, the gyro sensor can detect this and alert the user to make adjustments. This can help to ensure that the detector is always working at its best, which can greatly enhance the overall metal detection experience. The gyro sensor also allows for an advanced feature of the metal detector, called Ground Balance. Ground Balance is the process of adjusting the metal detector to the mineralization of the ground. In other words, it is the process of eliminating the mineralization interference of the ground. Ground Balance is necessary in order to detect metals in the ground. With a metal detector that has a built-in gyro sensor, the detector can automatically adjust its ground balance settings when you do pump action, which can save time and effort for the user.

 

 

 

The gyro sensor can help to protect the detector from damage by monitoring and recording any impact or shock that the detector may experience. This can help to extend the life of the detector and ensure that it is always working at its best. In conclusion, a metal detector with a built-in gyro sensor can offer a wide range of advantages for metal detector users. From improving target identification and accuracy, to enhancing the overall performance and durability of the detector, a gyro sensor can greatly enhance the overall metal detection experience. If you are in the market for a new metal detector, it is definitely worth considering one with a built-in gyro sensor.

hummm ... the way that this is written it seems that this 'device' may be a separate chip with AI capabilities.

It would take the input from the detector (speed and gesture) and judge that against some type of optimal performance/target ID and both suggest and make adjustments.

Curious wording so far but in keeping with high-speed processing possibilities.

I was joking about it sensing sweep speed and telling you to Slow The F Down, but seems that was not far from what it is doing after all. 

AI is an overused buzzword or acronym these days. "If this do that" is not AI and has been with us for a long time now. Don't confuse simple logic algorithms or circuits with artificial intelligence.
