You have to use the closed caption button and use the gear icon to change your default language. He didn't mention any specific frequencies.

If he knows what he's talking about, it sounds like a multi frequency AT Max.

I would stay away from the Go-Find series. Now that the Xterra Pro is out, I will second what Rick said. They are both economical detectors that you can turn on and go without fiddling with settings. Can't go wrong with either one. The only caveat would be that the older simplex models run on 12 Khz and go nuts when you use most pinpointers around them. If you make sure and get one of the newer gen simplex detectors, they have changed to 15Khz and no longer suffer from this problem. 

Worked for me last night. They have been overloaded with update attempts. It's 11:30 in the UK. Maybe try again in an hour or two. Maybe that part of the world will all be in bed and you can get through. It took me three tries before it worked.

I'm just hoping for a full tones fix, although I'm not confident they will ever successfully marry full tones with multiple frequencies. Just too many tonal nuances to deal with unless they come up with some sort of 3D sound.

Looks like the temp was too low on the plastic and caused delamination. Maybe changed the 3D printer settings to spit them out faster?

According to the manual the battery life for the WSA II XL is 17 hours.

 

Good catch. I forgot about the manual. Now I feel stupid. Too much time has passed between reading the manual and the headphone availability.

I was curious to get some feedback on the D2 Full Sized headphones. How do they sound compared to other over-the-ear head phones and how long do they run when fully charged? I couldn't find any info on runtime in the specs on the XP site. Thanks in Advance.

 

Same here. Waiting on battery life and sound comparisons to the WS6 backphones. The D1 WS5 headphones were too muffled for my taste. I always preferred the WS4 backphones. We should see some Youtube reviews soon since people are starting to receive them.

Was wondering if any/all would be compatible for the US. I use Gaia now. It is $40 per year.

It was all in French. I think I accidentally signed up for the French newsletter a while back. This is on the main XP site, but it says it's not available in the US when I click on the Google store link. https://www.xpmetaldetectors.com/en/produit/go-terrain-application.php

Just got an email from XP for the go terrain app for Apple and Google phone stores. Looks like it is only for France ATM. Maybe it won't be too long before we get it in the US.

Went to one of my worst sites this afternoon. Mid 1800's square nails by the thousands. The "magic" programs have trouble identifying iron compared to the stock programs. A lot of the square nails sound like good targets. It would seem the "magic" is just wishful thinking in my soil. It might benefit you if the targets are very shallow with no rust halos.

I will wait and test the first 7 version out this weekend before I update. I tried last night with bigger pieces of iron. It wasn't seeing the dime which means it was being masked. I can only get this to work with smaller nails, which is still magic to me. I told the wife last night that I needed to buy a 2nd D2 so I could keep one on this version. She didn't throw anything at my head which is good.

Full tones has it's own iron tone built in. You can literally hear ferrous and nonferrous at the same time with no discrimination that would cause you to miss some comingled targets. You have to adjust your tone breaks so  -6.4 and up to where you want iron tone to stop (probably 10), have a low iron tone. Look up Gary Blackwell's Sonar program. It is the same concept. This is one of the key features that make the Deus platform the best in iron.

There doesn't seem to be any connection to the VDI numbers. Dimes and pennies ring up in the 80's, but a nickel hits in the high 90's.

does the silencer change back to a certain setting after going off the magic program and then back on? 

The only key setting I've seen so far is discrimination. I can't duplicate this unless discrim is at -6.4. You can leave all other settings unchanged apart from the discrim and it will still work.

It will be this weekend before I can test this on targets in the ground. I'm afraid to change anything before then. If it works, then to me this is like finding the ark. It is more than likely just an audio glitch that won't translate into actual unmasking.

Not that we know of. Been waiting for someone with an earlier version to chime in. I'm afraid to change anything.

I didn't miss it, I was just ignoring it because I was focused on the possibility of using this glitch for unmasking in iron. It is very strange. Rebooting while in the custom program will resume the glitch also  until you switch back to a stock program again. I also agree with you on the stability of the v7 update because of this bug.

I can understand no filters in the context of all metal mode, but the tones aren't separated. The nails will have the same tone as the dime. I didn't think it was possible to hit the dime in that scenario with today's technology and actually have separate tones. In my mind I could take the D2 to my worst sites and have no iron masking with this glitch. Am I on the wrong track? It's definitely a software glitch and might disappear with the next update.

The only thing I can figure out is maybe a software glitch where the tones get mixed? As you rotate on it, the sound changes, but you can still hear the dime. It sounds washed out almost like the overload tone but the iron and dime tones are both audible in full tones.

This only works if you have -6.4 discrim. If you copy general or fast with normal discrim settings then it fails. The key is -6.4 discrim. You will of course have to adjust your tone breaks so the nails have a low tone. This is amazing! Bob38, you have stumbled onto something big.

I can reproduce this with different programs and tones. It will pick out and ID (85) a dime down the barrel with two nails on each side of it. I'm scratching my head at the moment. Has XP accidentally figured out how to divide by zero through some software glitch?

You are a freaking genius! I’m now absolutely convinced the D2 is idiot proof. I spent a half hour sitting there looking and pushing buttons.
Best forum on the internet hands down. 

Yeah, thanks to Steve for this forum. Years of knowledge hanging around here.¹ A lot of the other forums have descended into personal attacks and tribalism. 

Try holding down the minus and plus buttons at the same time.
