Does Anybody Know What This Is

Way cool.

The two devices you have circled appear to be 8 pin devices and most Mosfet's are 3 terminal devices. A LT1011 is a 8 pin device but it is a voltage comparator and not a Mosfet. Data sheet attached. LT1011.pdf

Hoff is of german, danish, dutch origin. Maybe clean up the lettering and see if you can make out any more. The angles of the two pipe facings is interesting and trying to visualize how this item would be integrated either solely or with multiple ones.

My GPX 6000 Headphone Take A Puke On My Rye Patch Hunt!
Dutchman4 replied to LuckyLundy's topic in Detector Prospector Forum
That is why I carry the wired cable with me at all times when I am prospecting as a backup to wireless. Of course I am assuming that the detector will provide power, to the wireless headphones, through the cable and it will work even if the headphones are not powered up, will have to test this. I tested it and it works with the cable and without powering up the headphones so it looks like the headphones are just passive when used with the oem cable. -
After a long wait, I finally received the NF 12x7 Xceed coil for my GPX6 and used it for the first time in an area that has small and shallow gold. I ended up with 10 nuggets for a total weight of 1.2 grams. The smallest nugget weighed 0.023 gram and was somewhere between 1 to 2 inches deep. This is the smallest nugget I have ever found metal detecting. I dont know if the stock 11 inch coil would have heard this tiny nugget but I will say the Xceed coil is plenty sensitive enough for me and there is no need or desire for me to find anything smaller.

Thanks for info. Makes you wonder what good the insurance is if it insures nothing?

I found some gold ore some time ago and had a friend slice it for me on this diamond saw. I would like to have some of it turned into jewelry. Can someone advise me on where to go to get cabochons made for like a ring or a pendant and then set them. I would want someone that is reputable to do it since I think these samples can yield multiple pieces and want to make sure I am not ripped off. I have also watched some videos on how to make cabochons yourself but not sure if it is cost effective to invest in lapidary equipment for such a small quantity of ore. I live in Hemet, CA and would prefer to go to a shop instead of mailing samples off to someone.

Thanks Dave, I am now on Ron's wait list. You got his last one, good luck using it. Let me know how it compares to the stock 11 inch for depth on 0.5 gram or larger.

Has anybody taken delivery of NF Xceed 12x7 coil for 6000 in last two months? I have been on wait list at Rob's Detectors for 2 months now. Starting to wonder if manufacturing has stopped? Would it help to put myself on wait list at other suppliers to see if there is a better chance with multiple suppliers? Any other sources?

SDC 2300 Drop In Battery Pack Trouble
Dutchman4 replied to Ridge Runner's topic in Minelab Metal Detectors
One observation I should share. I checked my SDC2300 Lithium Battery one time when I first got the machine and when it was fully charged it did not read anywhere close to the rated output of 7.4 Volts. I don't remember what it read but it was way low. Maybe someone else can put a meter on their battery to confirm my observation. -
Has anyone compared the depth performance on different size targets between the NF 12x7 and the Stock 11 inch?

Topo Map Navigation With No Subscription Fees

Hey Redz, Can you tell me more about the "hybrid satelite topo options". I don't believe that I have used this feature and would like to know how to enable it. -

A Video Explaining The Garrett Focused Core DD Coils
Dutchman4 replied to phrunt's topic in Garrett Metal Detectors
I didn't like this feature of the ATX DD coil since it essentially reduced the sensitive part of the big coil down to a 5 inch round coil and this reduction in ground coverage was not ideal for me. -
I owned one for about 6 months and sold it, great electronics, terrible package.
