Machine Learning Based PI Discrimination [Now Open Source]
mn90403 replied to Nikko's topic in Detector Prospector Forum
The chip on the Algo might run this. You should talk to Alex. -

Some are reading but can't respond. It is like here in Hollywood. When someone reads a script or concept there better not be something similar come out least there be legal claims. -

Nikko, I know what you could do for an electronic interface. Plug your ap into the Rx side of a Bluetooth combo pair. It would not be the proprietary BT of the detector manufacturer. I'm using my RX/TX pair hooked to headphones. It is the latest and fastest and can always be updated. You could use a splitter that would allow for your program to get the same signals that the headphones get. I'm at a loss for words but you know what I mean. It would be nice if there was something like a preamp signal that would come from a different channel than the one modified for human hearing. -

That makes the sound its own input so it should be as raw and direct as possible, right? I mean unfiltered. -

Does it only work with sound or will it work with the presound response? I mean ... a response has to be turned into sound ... can the digital response be read as well for the algo processing/discrimination? -
Of course, you are right, but it isn't necessary to deal with 3 decimal places scales. Close is close enough and then get out there and find that big one!

Filtering and Gold Detection (and AI)
mn90403 replied to mn90403's topic in Detector Prospector Forum
Here is where AI is being used in enterprise as an assistant. AI Employee "Meet Jerry" That type of assistant can duplicate someone's efforts so they can service more and spend less time selling. It is taking the thread down another hole but could be a business idea and not just a technical detector redesign. -
I always become comfortable with the detector I'm using and when I go back to a previous detector (I still own all of them except one) I can't remember those settings either! I was just told this morning that my youngest son likes his 'routines' and if the teacher doesn't follow her schedule he will go to her and remind her it is 'story time' and he is ready. I guess I'm a bit like him when it comes to setting up my detectors. I don't change them much after I get them set. Old becomes new and new becomes old as they say.

This list of improvements show that the previous Legend was not perfect as Simon says so getting a few more things right before this release will save them some money and increase sales. It just needs to be hardware reliable and friendly and you are helping to make that so Jeff. Good you are on the case no matter who the manufacturer.

Is it really necessary for them to keep trotting these units out with all of their faults? Those of us who had one and sold it bet on the idea that it would have more problems that we didn't want to deal with them.

Just tare everything and then float the specimen in a glass or beaker of water! Your number will be negative but the difference you seek.

Get a fish scale and rig your nugget in a little mesh. Weigh it dry and then submerge the nugget and get that weight. This works for specimens of 3-4 ounces or greater. Less than that no one cares! haha

Has Anyone Else Found One Of These?
mn90403 replied to Dan(NM)'s topic in Metal Detecting For Jewelry
I found a Mercury dime in a bezel but that coin is way cool! Lots of good silver things are made in Mexico and the Indian reservations of the Southwest. -
You need a jeweler to assess the best options for that piece. You might want to leave it as is and just put a clasp on it for a pendant or it could become a ring or ... It has a lot of character now. We bought a piece from Wes. He has experience with jewelers.

I was just using the coil that stays on mine and it is the 12" NF Evolution. It seems a bit heavy for the beach.
