  1. I have a Quest X Pointer Max too and really like it except for the hard to push buttons, but something I can live with also and plenty loud. If it keeps going off in boost turn on with pointer touching the clean ground with no metal and it should ground balance it. You might lose a bit of sensitivity.

    well I imagine if you were out detecting in a snow storm and freezing weather you would be swinging and moving as fast as you could also, I know for sure my fat butt would be moving as quick as I could, I personally would have never been out in that kind of weather trying to do a video to post up so people like myself and others could actually get a look at a detector that is getting ready to come out

    No, you imagined wrong. low and slow is my style regardless of the weather otherwise your wasting your time. He's doing a review then detects like that and blow's everything out the window.

  3. Here's an interesting point about the Deeptech Vista X I found on Dankowski Detectors Forum.

    Not Minelab or Equinox related but to Tom's EMI observations; on Steve H's site there is an interesting discussion on the new Detech Arrow coil. This is intended to be an updated Bigfoot/Cleansweep type coil. It was stated that the original Whites Bigfoot for the DFX had a figure 8 coil winding that gave the coil very good EMI mitigation. Also the polarity of the windings were different than "normal". Maybe some of the looking back Tom is doing? Also it was mentioned to me by someone who should know that the Deeptech Vista X uses a reversed polarity for it's coil & that is a big part of it's high resistance to EMI interference. It would be great if the answer to the EMI problem was fairly simple but just overlooked.

    Not sure if anyone answered this specific question... the 2nd disc uses a momentary toggle; i.e., if you don't keep pushing the trigger forward it snaps back to the middle position (primary disc). You get All Metal mode by pulling the trigger towards you; it locks into place so is non-momentary.

    This can cause a bit of a glitch due to the two triggers on the machine.  If one is pulled back into All Metal, the machine itself is in All Metal, even if the other trigger is in primary disc.  The giveaway is when nails start high-toning 🙂

    The sole purpose of two triggers is for left and right handed people. I can't see that causing any glitch if nails have been properly discriminated out. I've never had a iron nail high tone. Turn your primary disc up to disc out all nails.

  5. As an example, Find's Treasure Forums has a Deeptech  Forum which doesn't get much attention, it's a pity. I use a Vista X and find less junk with that than my Equinox and the simplicity of the X is a pleasure to use. I just crank my main discrimination up until it can still pick up a Threepence and it will pick up every other pre decimal coin I'm looking for and I've never dug a nail they don't exist with the X. Turn the disc up a touch over 40 and you knock out aluminium screw caps but loose Threepence's, that's OK if there's to many screw caps. If you get a loud  high tone lift the coil a foot off the ground, if it's still reasonably loud more likely a aluminium can. Vista X is like my Tesoro Cibola but on steroids.
