  1. This is a nice idea to add...I'm far from the time to go back again in the water with it by the way. Due to multiple damages on the o ring housing profile, partially my bad with the hot iron around the area, are making this salvage operation mechanically more complicated than it should be. As for now I'm happy to hear again the threshold of my toy and to use it on the wetsand sometimes.. With a bit of bitter, I can say that this wasn't exactly the best attempt for a diving purpose machine...Anyway, one of the Whites marvels for me and also my first pulse ever. Seven years ownership and some gold brought home to sweeten the bad end...
  2. It helps a lot Tony! I was afraid to power the unit again without being sure of the right pinout but now it should work again fine. I'm having troubles uploading here pictures, seeing just a black screen on each attachment from any source of my gallery... Again thanks, deeply!
  3. Hi to all of You after a quite long time I've been silent due to tough moments in the non detecting days... In this particular moment, staying close in my humble lab means to take care of my mind health while storms are keeping me off from business and my old mother's conditions to complete with the fear of an imminent loss. My question it is...Can someone remind me of the right pinout for the coil's + and - position on the board of a TDI BeachHunter? I modified the cables and added a waterproof connector to change coil in the future but apparently made a mistake when positioned the coil cables the last time years ago. Water leaked inside before I decided to open the box and take care of the issue and however everything worked for some time, not really to my taste actually..... Now, I only remember partially from where I de-soldered the coil's thin cables and cause of the Detech 8"mono deep rebuild this will take an age to make it really waterproof in a resin mold. The faster option I have it is to use the original 12"DualField and listen again for some loved noise. I hope the pictures can helps to see the boards conditions after I cleaned as best as I can and I suspect thanks to another picture I found, that the Wp6 and WP7 are the interested pins where to connect and solder back the coil (this time the connector female)... I know, this are the battery direct pins on the board but here is my doubt... I can't find other pictures unless TDI Sl pinouts with the 5 pins/cables on the board, while the BH just has two for power and braid... Hope it isn't too much to ask and bother the experts in here, I'm in a water glass and for sure fog in mind it is making me blind to a poor error... Sorry for this.
  4. I don't know if You solved already, but generally the pulse delay plays a big role on this.. For what I felt over my skin, forget on the beach to push under 15uS. No matter the Ground balance used or not, if you don't play a little moving at least the coil on every direction, and You still hear highs and lows, the delay must be manipulated as well. Raise sensitivity after this and You will know really the ground allowance.
  5. Exactly in that picture, You can also see tiny holes on the line under the black sand... Fresh air still trapped beneath newly moved sand. Hard to say if brought by lower swell waves or just the upper block falling down, but a nightmare to walk onto. The lower paradise will come soon anyway..
  6. It depends by how hard it is that line under feets... In the first picture uphere, where the truck it is on the slope, inclined, well, there I'll spend much of my time... Downward to the water, I see all of the first seasonal berm removal overburden caused by backwash.
  7. I actually start to think that this after-storm hunting produces less than expected.Due by experience, if at least three days do not pass after the real energy, there's no chance to find the good stuff. Sometimes we fall casually on a good piece in this scenario, but it is an unrepeatable hit apparently.
  8. Things should improve in a bit of time. I've been again in some spots that produced insane amount of finds last year and barely heard a signal. Waiting for some real wave/seabed rearrangement.
  9. Definitely an item flattened by someone's foot or I'd say wheels, before to fly near the road... At first sight, slightly less warm than 18 and then 14, maybe....Before acid and without markings...It is just suggestion...
  10. Not really sure about the effectiveness of this procedure, but I remind a post where in addition to all metal, iron volume at the same level of non ferrous IDs it was adopted...Steve can be much more detailed on this topic...Sorry
  11. Exactly...It might be that the coin it isn't .999, but still smaller than a bullion shape...and then....Lower Id shown
  12. I think you are referring to the two buttons on the top right and left plus the little man next to the Bluetooth pairing button. They actually call up functions of your choice but not an entire setup. Whatever you change in the factory preset stays saved automatically. For example, I opt for noise cancel on the left, ground balance on the right, and horseshoe on the side... It depends on what You need and use most.
  13. Miracles happens sometimes 🤣
  14. Glad You liked the new toy...My tiny foil nuggets on the beach instead, are usually frustrating me, so I ended up with a notch😅
  15. Considering an average 300 $ / € per coil, that's a virtual bargain...I mean, I'd prefer the smaller price without M9 or 15 included, but anyone can sell it the day after brand new....
