Latest is V4 will be available tonight, Tuesday night time, in Europe, so I guess Tuesday evening in the US, Midday Wednesday in AU.
-
Regtons in the UK announced today that the new 28 hf coil and V4 software will be available Monday/Tuesday.

Why is it AKA machines never get a mention at all? With their single frequency coils, frequency can be changed the same way as the X-Terra range. With their selectable frequency coils, they don't utilise harmonics to select frequency, in contrast they utilise a simple mechanical switch to increase or decrease the amount of windings used inside the coil.

Australian Gold Picture And Video Thread
Ringmoney replied to mn90403's topic in Detector Prospector Forum
Ah lads would you stop, spent the last 8 months up to my neck in pan's, pick's and shovel's over here in Ireland for a total of 6.5g, feeling depressed now. Haha only joking, keep the pics coming, if only I had the chance of fraction of what you lads find over there, I would give up the hammered coins in a flash. I even envy yanks with their puny little nuggets, -
The same reason I sold my CTX, I just could not get the coils I wanted.

New Minelab Gold Monster 1000

According to the latest post on XP's blog the frequencies of the HF coils are different than published before. The 9" round HF is now 14-30-59 KHz and the Elliptical HF, available in May 2017 is now 14-30-81 KHz. With 81KHz the Deus V4 should be even more sensitive than the GB2. https://www.pdf-archive.com/2017/02/10/deus-update-v4-uk/deus-update-v4-uk.pdf

Problem is V4 will make no real difference to existing coils performance, its main function will be for new coils and pointer. So we have gone from being told new coils will be multi frequency to coils that are no real advantage to relic hunters. From pure excitement to a real bummer. They could have a least made a new small oval with regular frequencies or at least 10-20-30-40 kHz. I see the Deepar oval is 10-20-30-40 why not the Deus. XP have forgotten their grass roots and that Relic hunters made XP who they are. We were promised better ground balance capability but now that is only in the gold field programmes. We asked for the V2 audio to be returned but no V4 is based on V3.2. So what are relic hunters getting? reactivity of 2.5, big bloody deal! oh I forgot an over priced pinpointer. Lets see how newly introduced units for other manufacturers at half the price take over this market.

No your 11" will work perfectly on V4 on its existing 4-18 kHz, 100% sure of that.
-
I went back to V2 myself after trying V3.2 for over a year. The quality of the audio in V2 is much better. The audio in V3.2 is very digital whereas V2 the audio has a lot more "colour" to it. Its not to much an issue relic hunting but for parks and the like, the audio difference between coins/jewellery and junk is a lot pronounced than V3.2.

Reports of early Feb all over Europe. Some dealers will be getting hardware and beta v4 software this week in order to show customers.

Only looking at prices last night and this is the cheapest I found http://www.ebay.ie/itm/Metal-detector-Minelab-GPX-4500-per-ricerca-oro-accessori-PROFESSIONALE-/191859266106?hash=item2cabb4123a:g:-z4AAOSw5b1XI6F0

Garrett ATX Strip Down & Rebuild
Ringmoney replied to Steve Herschbach's topic in Garrett Metal Detectors
This project was the only reason (at that time) I joined this forum, since then the forum has become my first go to place for reliable detector information and big credit to Steve for the great work, but, as the say in this part of the world, get the finger out -
What Is Your Favorite Gold Jewelry Hunting Machine?
Ringmoney replied to Dirty Nickels's topic in Metal Detecting For Jewelry
8" AKA concentric coil, AKA have them all you have to do is ask, they also have a 5" concentric sniper and are working on a 5" super concentric (what ever that means). Now for me, without doubt the best detector I have used in trashy parks in the Deus in V2 with high silencer settings. The sounds are so much better than V3 (which is more suited to relic hunting). My friend and I have being doing a festival site for years, he uses a Deus in V2, I have used many different detectors on there and no matter what I have used (Minelabs, Fishers, Whites AKA's etc and even Deus V3) he always does better than I. The only time I match him is when I used the Deus V2. -
Looks like a coin weight, maybe for a British silver coin.

Garrett Z-Lynk Wireless Audio System Details
Ringmoney replied to Steve Herschbach's topic in Garrett Metal Detectors
Yes but I cant see Garrett charging $289 for this system :) -
The best quality 18650's at 3400 mah will last about 5 hours which is not great, if 2400 mah batteries are used, as in the Pro, 3 hours max can be expected. One of the main drawbacks of the SL is the battery life and here you are again talking of an inadequate capacity battery. Give people what they want a battery that lasts a bit longer.

Scrap the current battery pack al together, there is plenty of space underneath the circuit board to hold a 2*4 cell 18650 li-ion battery, all is needed is a wider battery door to accept such a battery.
