A Drones View Over A Goldfield
afreakofnature replied to karelian's topic in Detector Prospector Forum
Please keep in mind that I do not know if the hack will work with a Mavic 2. I just know that it will work for the Mavic original. -
GPX 6000 All I Want To Know Is
afreakofnature replied to Condor's topic in Detector Prospector Forum
After seeing the latest test vid in the other thread my big question now is.........Why? It was hitting a 1/2 ozt at 18" in EMI in Difficult and Sensitivity at 4. I would think with the 17" coil you could hit a pounder at 3 feet 𤣠-

I am also impressed! Like Jason was saying these are the vids I wanted to see too. I would like one though with the same weight at different depths, large and small. I can see why though they added no threshold as a setting. The threshold sounds just like an SDC, never silky smooth. So SDC owners will be used to that and used to how very faint targets sound. One thing is clear though, this this is so sensitive I could see people not digging targets that overload like that thinking its garbage because the old machines it would sound like garbage. So for those who do not dig all, be prepared to now dig all š -

Yup this is absolutely correct GotAU and DJI owners have complained about this a lot. Hack it up...at your own risk ofcourse. š -

Hey Jason there are drone hacks that can remove that height limitation. I only have the Mavic pro thatās fully hackable. Iām not sure about full hack-ability on the 2. -

Well let me add this. Most people who use an adjustable wrench are just doing around the house projects. But if youāre fixing an engine youāre not using an adjustable wrench. At least a professional I donāt think would use one. I donāt think that the 6000 is an adjustable wrench. It just fits into the niche of tools that we all use. But with that being said I donāt know many people who have a full set of wrenches that have a cost them over $20,000 to get them all š. -

Different tools for different jobs. We all know that wrenches come in different sizes and we all know the adjustable wrench sucks the most. So who wants an adjustable wrench metal detector? Thatās why we have lots of different options. Itās the nature of metal detecting technology. The 6000 is just another wrench for a different job. -

Nobodyās going to reveal anything if they were smart LOL, why give away what this detector is doing before you get all GPX6000 gold. Reports will come out next year, or from noobs that havenāt learned yet that loose lips sinks ships š¤£š¤£ -

Equinox 600 Trouble With Audio Stutter
afreakofnature replied to bklein's topic in Minelab Equinox Forum
If you donāt have your coil plug or headphone cover on tight and water gets in that might be a problem. I have that happen just from rinsing off my detector. I sent it in because I thought it was a problem and they found that there was a little bit of water in there. They dried it out and it works fine. So make sure you have those on tight before going to the beach or rinsing your detector. -

This would not be surprising seeing how Covid has done this to many other items as well. Still waiting on the Zsearch and its āmass audienceā release still hasnāt happened. -
Just so you know my background. I have been a field geologist for 20 years I have been prospecting for 18 years and detecting since the SDC came out. I work full time so detecting/prospecting is a hobby. I have used the GPZ for 3 seasons. I have not used it to its full potential. I am not writing a manual. I have been researching everything i can about this detector over the last 2 months, mainly from this forum and the other sources stated above. I compiled a lot of information, I was willing to share it in an organized format but probably wonāt now. People can do their own. I appreciate your comments on the controls and telling me how to detect but what I am seeking is technical specifics. I want to know exactly what this is doing. Others on this forum who have done the time same as you do give different opinions than how you have described it. So you can understand my skepticism to only believe one person.

I am not saying that it modulates it just sets the maximum loudness limit of the volume control (well maybe I am calling it modulation). If it truly did clip it and you set the limit to 1 then crank the volume up to 20 everything would sound the same from high signals to low signals and probably all of the noise. But if you set the limit at 1 and crank up the volume to 20 you actually do get variations in the loudness still. I could be wrong but other pieces of electronics out there that has Volume Limit describes it in this matter, Minelab could be doing there own thing but that's confusing. IDK I can't test this yet, maybe we will get someone to try this in a video.

more on Volume Limit: This is how I see Volume Limit. It adjusts the maximum loudness (decibel) allowed out of the machine - OUTPUT. You still have 20 increments to work with on the Volume (Audio Boost) control, no matter what you set your limit too. It is just that each increment is exponentially greater based on increasing the limit you set. I think this is why people see Volume Limit as a volume control because if you set your limit to 20 and set the Volume control at 8, but then lower your Volume Limit to 10 and leave your Volume on 8, you can see that it would be equivalent to a 4 back at the Volume Limit of 20. Hence lowering the loudness heard. It is completely relative to the Volume Limit set. If Volume Limit truly was a decibel cut off. Then it would look like this below. Where if you set your Volume Limit to 10 then on your Volume control you would have no change from 11-20. But this is not true, loudness does still increase, even with a limit set. Therefore the way I see it Volume Limit can lower the maximum volume (loudness, decibel) overall, but does not cut it off. Think about it, if you had a loud target cut off at 45 decibels but kept raising the volume regardless then even the faint sounds (and noise) could be as loud as 45 decibels. Making everything sound the same. This does not happen. In conclusion, like jasong has stated above. This is all relative to YOUR hearing and not actual target strength (INPUT). To me this is all making sense now. I hope for others it is too, but I will still put my promo out there for videos of these controls in action š Keep'em coming!
