  1. Exactly 🫢. Even if I bought dozens of gloves pairs the left hand last no more than two sessions and at a certain point I just don't care anymore for holes😑
  2. It was...Like 99% of the stuff I find usually...Lighter than others but that reddish shine always warmt the heart
  3. I found an excerpt of a session. That day, apart from a huge uncovered surface, almost no targets and a purely luck find. https://www.instagram.com/reel/C2XNwsgq7Uu/?igsh=YzcwaDQ2NmIzbXJt
  4. I can't think of a better way to explain the concept, but if I have to define the use of full tones that I found myself in, this is it: Trying to isolate the middle tones, I expanded from 30 to 60 first and from 30 to 45 later. Although it would be simpler to use 3 or 4 tones extended up to 99 and giving a specific pitch to each, using full tones better distinguishes a valid tone from one that jumps around and is hardly a target worthy of excavation. However, the original tone breaks were more effective before I modified them. The reason may be that somehow you are going to break up the progressiveness and modularity of the sound. All of this should be tested by sampling objects and varying the tone breaks as best suits one's hearing, using the offset to vary the peaks.
  5. I recently stumbled upon the use of the mono program by accident and noticed a lack of a specific data point in the mf programs. Although I understand the minimal variation in frequency multiples and the almost no importance other than to clean the signal from interference, I still noticed that between shift 0 and shift 6, the frequency can slip a lot. In my case, I suffer in saltwater from a difficulty in finding a sweet spot between 24 and 40 kHz or at least visualizing the actual setting. This is quite different from the autotune scan, believe me. I am referring to the lack of an exact kHz number that I justify with more frequencies working, but that does not help in understanding what level you are working at. If I take into account in mono 40 kHz with a 0 shift, I assume I am reaching about 32 kHz. In mf this should translate the same way with the unknown of the lowest frequency. There are missing pieces in this theory but the lack of the number of kHz relative to the shift in use does not help me.
  6. If I may, I recommend that you set tone breaks carefully when using full tones. Expanding or decreasing the ID portion for each tone also changes the audio behavior of the melody, and I am certain of this after changing the basic parameters. I hope I explained correctly, but specifically I created divisions of about 15 points between each signal and got 5 portions by focusing on the middle zone. There, that makes the signal extension less understandable than when I used full tones the first time. The offset may help in giving more footprint than iron in direct proportion as the number goes up.
  7. That looks like a nice one, got a link? That shaft is actually a Golden Mask product, and I have had my eye on it for a couple of years. There is an adapter so you can mount the Deus like the Deus2, but it must be purchased separately. I recommend intercepting a Golden Mask dealer in your area.
  8. I must admit that looking at these shots I am relieved that we are slowly seeing solutions to this problem, even if they are aftermarket and created by enthusiasts. It annoys me on the other hand, that such a structural fact was not foreseen at the factory design stage. I have to admit that after a year of use, I have now reached an extreme degree of confidence in the instrument and a killer program but this having to worry about the remote unhooking at the first opportunity, no, I cannot tolerate that.
  9. Since a few months I have the red locking shoe on an Anderson dive shaft.. Still looking for a damn stable mount like the black one uphere. There's no way to keep the remote there on the shaft and the shape problem will be never solved if not excluding the original mount in the system.
  10. I have it already. I can't say anything against its use but my remote still continues to fall away when I hit it and I'm next to try this solution posted uphere.
  11. Nothing better than the yellow colour ...Damn🤪
  12. I've seen again those numbers...So many times to be almost sure 😊 Sounds like you found an italian piece and what a dream to start like this the year 🏴‍☠️
  13. Unfortunately, for me it does not represent a viable option...I use the D2 only underwater and the Ws6 does not have this capability.
  14. I actually damn like the mod... Most of all, I'm dreaming to zip tie the f#ck#g remote in this way to the shaft clip...🤣 So I'd never be forced again to see it dangling around like a pendant with the antenna's cable.
  15. Hard for me to forget 12.01 to 12.25 lottery numbers.... Still a sniper rifle today with the right conditions. Too bad it feels less deep in detection than a D2 even with 9" coil... I keep it as a relic and it will remain the instrument I have had the most confidence with.
  16. I had to change the audio tones to put up with the noise three times.I had started with three tones and it was unbearable, then a little better in pitch and finally full tones with an offset on 20.Try changing also audio filter to 1 because any higher level increases the annoyance on false signal in salt water.
  17. With really low discrimination at 5.9 I happened to hear iron tone but no ID. It was a big submerged spot and if I consider 40kHz/92+ sens/b.s. accept and auto G.b. it is more than acceptable.
  18. Not only can I confirm the same impressions about the update, but I advance my own modest theory about its release. Although the addition of a new feature for the Xtrem apparatus was in the beginning the reason for initiating downloads, it is clear that other bugs have been fixed without overemphasizing it. And still this is good because I finally find in Xp the first factory that "listens" to the end users. Too bad for someone else who does not release software and aims to sell three or four more tools that remain unknowns. For me they remain so because after the purchase the party ends there.... Once is also too much, especially at that price.
  19. I agree with you. If it is any relief to you, think of this combination here in my area.... 2,5,10,20,50 Cents of which only the first two denominations are discarded as ferrous. Add a new tool and the need to dig out virtually 80 percent of the IDs so as not to risk leaving behind gold... Add having to do it underwater with one hand.... Do you feel any better?😂
  20. That rope chain looks gorgeous 😍...I'm still looking for one since 2005🫢
  21. Thanks and nice way to restart the hunt... Me, after three bad sessions until yesterday, today 📴🫢
  22. After some time, we all have a spot that unlike others, we know like the back of our hand, that spot where more than others we had satisfaction and even lessons. It is the spot closest to home, the one you reach with little effort and know with your eyes closed. Well, two days ago I met a diver friend in town struggling with his hooka and having to take advantage of the few days of 0 energy for the last sessions of the year, yesterday I brought a cylinder with me so I could give him air and a few hours on the bottom. The wonder? Entering the water together in the home spot and in the slime that makes the water murky discovering that some god has ripped out tons of sand without anyone noticing yet. I start breathing at an accelerated pace, but I don't care because there is a compressor on the surface and for the next 4 hours I won't dare move away from the pit. I discover with little surprise that the holiday season has already brought the need for another 2kg of ballast to stay down on the bottom.... I can hardly believe it at moments, and although I have moved hundreds of boulders and searched meter by meter in over 15 years at this place, for the umpteenth time Mother Nature surprises me with a new combination of red clay, fine crushed stone, black sand, then orange, shells of all kinds, and large boulders on top of the cake with seaweed topping deposited between the cracks... The scenery tells of a bad current that has dug down to the mother layer as never before, in addition to old waves of a power rare in these parts. But the seaweed reminds me of the late recognition of the closing party. I start with the smile of a child at Christmas and listen confidently for the presence of iron, then silver, coarse aluminum, and dig up nothing but distinct mids... Bang, a reddish snake at least 20 years old appears.... I am sure I am in the oldest section, the most ravaged by dozens of other hunters, and I am struck with nostalgia. I may have seen 20 more of the same shape, but I haven't dug any in forever.... At that point, already happy to have caught a piece just where I least expected it, I insist and move a good 100 meters away catching sight of another really huge pit. It's been almost three hours and I'm starting to stand on the bottom almost belly down.The wetsuit has soaked through to the cells closest to the skin and the temperature has dropped considerably. You can tell by the loss of interest and control that you are about to get hypothermia.... Just before the headache, determined to resurface and already blessed with gold in my glove, another indisputable signal in the 40s stops me.... Bang again... Thin, barely bigger than my little finger and as beautiful as ever, comes a second ring from another time.... There is no way to explain, on balance I don't get to 4 grams total, but the place, the history and memories I have among these rocks, are back together after too long. I leave the beach struggling to get out among dozens of meters of seaweed, dirty and breaded like a schnitzel...I turn around and say, "You got me again..."
  23. I agree with your thoughts Steve, in fact in another previous response I was pointing out that the S.H. is still honestly priced and remains one of the few options for us divers. I always keep my Tdi BH in the artillery room and unfortunately due to infiltration at the control box I will have to make further modifications. If we were to say unfiltered the real difference besides the impact of mineralization, hunting with a P.I. certainly lengthens scan times on targets less palatable than 'gold, but there is no question that they are to be avoided in favor of any vlf. I for one tamed the D2 just a few months ago, because just like all the other instruments, it sounded like a show in salt water....
  24. I must admit my amazement to see that there is this trend of personalizing with engravings less noble materials than 'gold and with increasing frequency. No wonder it is dated 2012, since the "great crisis" in my mind is stuck in 2008 (and continues)...
