LE.JAG

it all depends if you hunt at low tide
or in the water
at low tide / like me / a very solid gamatte is preferable
most important / for me
it's the tilt of the handle
in this position / I keep my back straight
less fatigue / and I get on the Gamatte
my 95 kilos do the rest 😁
3mm stainless steel / and unbreakable fiber handle
no holes / too close to the weld lines (less breakage)
allows to carry masses of compact sand
without fear of breaking and without wasting time
the faster the target will be released = the more gold you will find...

on the first image there are two prospectors
one at the bottom and another among the posts

in normal times the remains of the posts are not visible
they are under the sand
on this beach / over 5 years ago

strangely, all the heads of Teller mine
let's not get the swastika,
only one of those found, year of production 1938
I also had to dig a very large amount of piece of brass
detonator remnant

Am I missing something here?  Most finds don't appear very deep, yet the Minelabs couldn't find any gold but the AQ did?  

 

yes, i stayed 4 days on the spot
and after 10/15 prospectors, you have the result
big rings went out on the night tides
the large signet ring 13.5 gr was especially deep
on the video, the square ring and the last (dome with the stones)
went out after another target / over / coin and bullet

  on the 4 days there was a lot of wind
the sound / clean / on gold that AQ gives becomes an advantage

for me it's the best test
reality / and you have it in front of you
11 gold rings
walking behind several minelabs
of course, experience makes the difference
but i'm not superman, lol
I just have a good detector..........

Business is only interested in profits , and that's exactly why we will not see soon a really good detector on the market . So far we see a snail crawling -improving parameters , and cheetah jumps - in terms of advertising and customer brainwashing .Good ideas will wait a long time to be marketed…

currently the gold detector market
special nugget
represents 80 to over 100 million US dollars (annual)
or more depending on the gold price ...
most of it is picked up by Minelab

if tomorrow a competitor obtains a detector
able to take a share of this market
he will market it quickly (if he can ...)

your theory only works for those who hold the market
they have every interest in keeping cookies
to face a new competitor

then having technology is one thing
being able to mass produce it, another ....

the electronic part / the pcb
had been frozen the first time
in january 2019
but the leap forward,
spectacular obtained in May 2019
on rejection mode = closing of all holes on gold detection
and possible 24k detection (in rejection mode)

led to an upgrade of the PCB (serial version frozen in October 2019)
it would have been stupid (for FTP) not to do so...

the only problem left
and delays launch is purely mechanical
for once, FTP is not really at issue
it is (it was) a part under contract
easy to guess which one (don't ask me ....)

No problem for me
anyone can ask questions ..

the test in the air of the video
is not intended to demonstrate the power
just the speed of the pulse

I will not talk about Tarscaci / not test
for the CTX if you have already tried a TDI pro / 14.4 v
you know it's deeper than a CTX
for me AQ is much more efficient
more sensitive / faster / quieter
and therefore deeper = on gold
CTX has been out of competition for a long time

we can't compare a 12 volt bbs
with a high voltage PI / it's another world...

about videos
I always use a plastic box / port ventral
like the beginning / just fix AQ front on the box
it's just a practical question
AQ as standard is sealed ...
I test future programming / upgrade
Alexandre does 'perpetual' research
with only one goal = to always do even better ..

+ on videos / I use the settings available as standard
the only notable difference
is the length of my cable
which should make me lose some sensitivity  (logically)
but as you can see
I dig deep enough :))

I would be more interested in a slow speed response I believe. 

who can do the most
can do the least...

the pulse rate very high 4000 PPS (pulse per second)
in addition to the high current in the coil
can bomb the ground / very quickly (4000PPS)
and very deep = strong current

once this acquired =
just lower the ATS (recovery speed)
sweep slowly
and you get the targets deeper
than any other detector ...............

+ I tested the prototypes
up to 6500/7000 PPS
they were even deeper
but at this rate
there are overconsumption issues
and overheating ...

Rick, the 7us should also be very good
on meteorites
if you have known impact sites
in the desert areas of your region
will be good spot, test ....

you may have websites
or books
which identifies the known impacts

Some PI’s do better in EMI than others. Here’s a Fisher AQ prototype near Yuma AZ in October 2018 - no EMI issues

I guess it's at low tide
but i don't see the bikinis  :))

personally i am not in favor of wireless
digital sound processing
to tendency / to crush the subtlety of tonality

watch the Deus, one of the best vlf in the world
the sound, on a ring or a gold coin is really bad
this is largely due to the 100% digital signal processing ...

But, I recognize that for hunting nuggets
it's different / there is little pollution
and you dig all the sounds ..
i think there will definitely be
sooner or later wireless option

Thank you LE JAG, To be honest I've got so use to hunt without visibility it just comes natural. I would say of the 5 hours I hunted................ I hunted with my eyes closed 3 hours or more. I find I have less distractions and can focus on the audio better. 

Thank you for the link, I will look close at it..

I do want to believe you
last year I ran into a blind guy (completely)
who was prospecting, on a beach !!   he had an equinox

he comes with a friend of his
it starts at the end of the beach and it draws lines by itself

it was incredible, and he finds his targets much faster than us ...
the day I saw him, he found his first gold ring
it had started / detection 4/5 months earlier

and I'm sure it will become very good
to tell the difference between metals / just by ear ............

Yes, but I understand what Terry is saying (I saw your mp)

my camera is fixed in ventral, on my case
and when I bend down each time to pick up the target
it leaves the field of vision ...

but, I prefer like that // in ventral
it's too complicated and heavy on the head

ok, indeed I did not understand
when i see the ring appear
we just see the slice

I call the guy who was with me
and to show him, I kick water
  on the ring which comes out better from the sand

Terry, I'm starting on video
I'm already having a hard time doing them, if in addition I had to fake them
I think I would be too bad to get there 😂

very nice rings 👍
Joe, you never tried a vision seal for water
https://www.amazon.fr/Reef-Scope-Underwater-View-Blanc/dp/B00I50NPU4

when the water is clear enough
saves time to locate the target
without putting your head underwater  // she doesn't look very hot 🙂
fix next to the sieve, could be useful...

Effectively,  one thing at a time ...

and I'm not sure that any other manufacturer
will produce coils which starts at 7us

the first 200 pulscan tdi was able to start at 8.5us
by being finely tuned
but the production of coils does not follow ..

of course, concurrency and coils merchants
are going to buy and dismantle some
but nothing says that they will manage to copy them ....

LE.JAG,  in this video after you have pin pointed the object.  I see your foot raising up and then you have the object in your hand.

you talk about the button
I don't see it with the mud on the surface
  i hear it
and I point with the disc and the tip of the foot ...

I’m not trying to pour cold water on things but it is quite difficult to determine the original depth of the ring....in liquified sand, the ring will continuously sink to the lowest point created by the several attempts to dig it out......just sayin’ 👍

A bit of detective work........If you look at the video at around the 7:35 mark, you will notice that the “likely” maximum depth can be seen where the scoop is buried prior to retrieval....where the steel meets the yellow handle. I would guess the original depth is probably no more than 12” deep and this is allowing for some angle penetration by the point of the scoop but NOT allowing for the likelihood of the ring getting knocked down by all the digging (and some off centre digging too). I  like your enthusiasm PPP...... 😁

when i put the disc in the water
she just moved / I can't hear her anymore
until then, the sound does not vary / it is still in place

my gamate, from the tip to the yellow handle
is 45 cm = 17.71 '
it's hard to say how much she was
and that’s not the purpose of the video ..
but it was pretty deep

also note, that the ring is a small diameter
it does not pass to my little finger
larger diameter / good weather condition
see a lower carat (18k this one) = easier to detect
  we can largely hope 20 '

Oh my GOD!!! what a depth!!! INSANE.  20 gram ring!!!!! you got to be kidding.That was awsome.My deepest targets vwith the Nox is around a 12inches and with my ATX aound 15.I think you recovered those targets between a range of 18 and 20 maybe deeper.Greate jobb LE.JAG with the video and please share more videos if you have any more!!!!!!!!! I WANT AN AQ!!!!!!!

with good weather conditions, no wind
silence / we can go down to 20 '
there, I'm about 15 or a little more ..

Footing the sand is the faster way to recover the targets... 

We dont ear the comments and the sound of AQ in the vidéo... except " viens voir " " la vache " 😂  

the nox dont have any signal with the ring ? 

Did the AQ was able to take this ring at the initial deep in réject mode ? 

Il y avait trop de vent , c'est dommage , et si on entend bien le Oh la vache , c'est par ce qu'il crie 🤣

pas de son au premier passage pour le nox, il l'a accrocher après un léger coup de pelle

je l'ai pas essayé en discri , j'avais fait plusieurs plomb avant

et le son n'était pas parfait / pas mauvais , mais pas top ... (bague tête en bas , je pense..)

LE,JAG, I noticed that some how you pickup the object found with your rubber boot.  How do you do that?

I don't understand your question Terry
  to point the target ?
I use the edge of the coil / as effective a Pinpointer

You mean, that this
are two sides of the same coin ?

this coins does not exist ...
  I think there are two coins in the medallion
it would have to be dismantled to see / it would be interesting

on the Dos Pesos, the date of 1945 does not mean anything
I found one a few years ago
  do some research,
between 1951 and 1972 a large number of coins
was re-struck in the 1945 vintage ...

Nice find, all the same  :))

Thanks, for comments on my video

for AQ, I don't have the final product
Rick stole it from me :))

I have the last pcb of series
but in a ventral case / and not the last sticker
it's not very good for videos ....

3 days ago I found a big gold ring
really very deep
I'm still going to make a short video of this hunt

the depth of the ring is clearly visible
on the film, and should surprise many of you :)

Yes it's possible
we can just cut the hairpin
and take the 22 and 24 k
with almost no loss

for different currencies
everyone will have to do tests ....

Alexandre... Your chart is very encouraging! 

So... In All Metal mode 10K rings will be detected along with everything else.

By using some amount of discrimination, can 10K rings still be detected? 

Merci !

yes, the lower the carat
the easier they are to detect in discri

a large 10 k signet ring is easier to take
the same in 22k / in rejection mode

All these targets were found at the IMPULSE by me or Le.Jag
As a rule, I keep only the targets whose conductivity I don't yet have.

a little precision anyway
he found the nails
and me the gold rings :)
