  1. What is the greater factor in screen failure over time, age or use?
  2. I’m very glad and relieved to see you say that. After the learning curve it quickly leaped to #1 for me too. I just had to learn how far I could push it or not push it as the case may be. I think I now have it right where it needs to be without running into instability. Dead on the line.
  3. Apparently this is a product idea that may or may not make it to market. I’ve been keeping my eye out for it. In the meantime, a magnet and tape will do the trick.
  4. Wait until you see how long the battery lasts. it’s bonkers for a rechargeable. Very impressed with every aspect of this pinpointer compared to the competition. I can’t think of anything bad to say about it. Every other pinpointer is now just boring to me.
  5. Back when Whites was still in business there was this YouTube channel called The SilverSlingers, who used Whites products almost exclusively. They decided to do a giveaway of a pink Bullseye TRX. The fact that it was pink, phallic shaped, and vibrated triggered YouTube to terminate the giveaway. You can guess what YouTube thought it was lol. SilverSlingers had to jump through hoops to get their giveaway back up.
  6. I was prepared to be argumentative about the TRX. In fact I became so obsessed with the whole thing that I angered my family who wanted to get out and do some summer things. I had to promise to take a week away from anything metal detecting related. I’m glad things worked out the way they did though. One thing this has shown me is that there’s not only a glaring difference from one TRX to another (I also have two), but one Pinpointer to another of the same make and model overall. For example, I don’t get the same results you do on the PulseDive. Not even close. Yet there it is. I do get slightly better results with one of my Bullseye TRX than you do on coin sized objects. Same with the Carrot, same with the F-Pulse (Tek-Point in my case). It makes me wonder if they lose sensitivity with age, or if they are just that inconsistent as a matter of production. One thing I want to say is that Pavel never told me what to do or not to do with the product. I never promised a review other than between us. If they wanted more spotlight on it there were certainly better, more well known figures they could’ve reached out to. I think they just wanted an honest opinion. I was so impressed with it that I felt compelled to do a review, even though most people reading it would never own one. I felt it deserved to be known for all the hard work that must’ve went into it.
  7. Her mistake was she measured everything on edge, which is going to be far less depth than face up as most people conduct such tests.
  8. What we do know so far via Dilek: VLF operation Bluetooth connection to headphones Iron Discrimination Built in LCD 1 button operation
  9. I’m yawning along with you. Nothing really innovative here.
  10. Not too long ago their attitude towards waterproofing was that most of us never bring our machines into the water. That is changing I think. It’s one of those things where “if you build it, they will come.” Minelab, Garrett, and Nokta have carved out a niche that is now growing into something more mainstream. There’s been a very visible increase in water hunters with the release of all these waterproof detectors
  11. I can’t for the life of me figure out why they don’t do this either. They are different enough to run them alongside the Carrot. Plenty of people prefer tip only pinpointing. There are also plenty of people to whom depth matters a lot. I love to be able to pinpoint most targets above the ground before I ever even dig my plug. Most other pinpointers just seem impotent after using something like the TRX. That’s one thing I can say Fisher has done well, is they gave us a deep pinpointer in the F-Pulse/Tek-Point. One of the best.
