Either a PI or water machine?

If you mean pieces of lead metal then you are doing it right. Gold and lead read the same.

LOL. Unfortunately that includes bullets. I certainly did my share of making Arizona lead free by detecting them.

I knew that 16.8 was ok but didn’t know it could go as high 18 V. I thank you for informing me of that, I was thinking you may see a puff of smoke coming out of your detector.

I’ll give it a try and run some test with it.

Thanks again!

Chuck

Once in a while you have to let the smoke out or it clogs things up. 

It's the same answer that has applied to 95% of Eq comments since last Sept.  "We'll just have to wait and see." 

Direct comparisons with another machine on the same undug targets. Include settings.

2 or 3 threads here make me think that Minelab must have hired some new marketing folks over the last year. They seem much more aggressive. Maybe I'm thinking that just because of all the accompanying hype by potential owners tho.

Yeah, that's what she said.

Nice video though.

GUYS !!!.......it's a joke........a run of the mill Kennedy Half near to a breath MINT.

(But your nice comments are appreciated)

(And I think maybe you all need a vacation.......LOL).

About a half inch I'd say.

Well I just spent 1500.00 on a Deus WS5 and another 400.00 on a high frequency coil in June . So why not piss away another 800.00. I mean you can't take it with you anyway. And it gives my wife more to Bi*ch at me about.

I ain't never seen a U-Haul behind a hearse.

I'd be interested in how deep those pickers were. Very interested.

Reasoning?  I don't need no stinking reasoning!  

Oh, and the Multi IQ. I need all the IQ I can get.

The manual is bound to have some confusing sections (to some readers or to many readers, depending on the example) because it is a complex gadget and some concepts that are simple in practice when you have the detector right out in front of you are hard to grasp just off the written page without anything to visualize.  I guarantee you there are probably a thousand lurkers on this forum that had the same or a similar question.  You were just brave enough to ask it.  I know they are all thanking you for taking the bullet, but they learned something just like you did.  So keep asking...

I'm sure some think I deserve the bullet and would have gladly delivered it, but your comments help, thank you.

Right now the only thing I can't do with it is USE IT !!!  But I'm pretty sure I will survive until it gets here. If Steve is excited about it then I'm nearly apoplectic.

Should have a Noxy in my hands by the end of next week,... that will clarify a few things.

That will definitely make a big difference for all of us. Big - really big - as in....... big.

I think normally a time delay is built-in to gb tracking so that targets are not immediately taken as ground changes and blanked out. If it reacted immediately you might never hear a target. With the Deus I believe the delay is about 7 seconds if I remember right.

Yeah, it's pretty strange, thanks to my brain flatulence.

I just thought I saw something in the last line of the paragraph I referred to that conflicted with other custom program info in the manual. If you don't see it then I'm satisfied that I'm just seeing something that isn't there.

Thank you for your concern and responses.

That's an answer. Thank you.

Read the last paragraph on page 33, as I have so no need to repeat, and tell me if that modifies your opinion.

I know my CTX is considerably deeper with no disc at all. Proven to myself many times.

Guess I've been spoiled by the CTX and the Deus. But if the Eq is as good as advertised I'll bet I'll get over it.  

Dang !  There you go with that logic stuff again.

You just about have to be right. So that gives you eight custom programs if you want. And then you can restore and you lose the custom settings. Guess that's part of why it sells for $900 instead of $1500.

The manual is not crystal clear, to me at least......you have 8 factory programs and you can save a custom program for each one, and leave the factory programs untouched by your changes. That gives you 16 intact programs, right?

Somewhere, I got the idea in my head that White's was coming out with a new flagship and I sold my V3i. Well White's did come out with a new model but, sadly for me, it was the MX 7. As Sinatra sang, "regrets, I've got a few".

White's could just take the current V3 (not the V3i), package it in an MX Sport case,and have a pretty good seller. That is they could have until the Kruzer came out, now that opportunity is gone. Even if it had a few more features it would be seen as just a copycat. They sure need to do something spectacular because I'm sure sales are hurting.

Glad I'm not in charge of White's marketing.
