  1. Using the Deus 2 beach program with one adjustment. (maximum audio volume) Rang up at 77-78 and well over 18" deep in the set sand. Amazing.
  2. Hope your prototype is a success
  3. Must see tutorial. 2.5 minutes
  4. Thanks very much for the information. I was not aware of the symbol history.
  5. Found this item detecting yesterday where we had found World War 2 item. Had a person tell me this was pre-World War 2 and not during the war. Kind of spooky.
  6. DWerk, you are correct, I have purposely reduced the sensitivity in order to locate the transmit frequencies (without the harmonics in the mix).
  7. Harmonic Frequencies is a very interesting part of frequency transmissions. I'm not experienced enough to elaborate on the subject, but I think DWerk, is.
  8. You're correct, there is so much more to a detector, than just transmission frequencies. However, without a starting point (transmission frequency) software analysis would be useless. I just wanted to state how interesting it is to me and wanted to share the info. Now on the other hand I had one of the head engineers for a detector mfg. state that both Minelab and XP have some of the most intriguing transmit frequency schemes they have seen. Someone was really thinking outside the box. Now for me, I like to know a little more about the transmit side just to give me an idea what to expect or hope to expect. High frequency more weighted to low conductors etc. To me, I love seeing and comparing the signal strength, not just voltage but mainly the current transmitted. I just love electronics. It keeps me curious not only about detectors but other electronic devices too. You're right with the "hype" advertised by many of the manufacturers today.
