New XP Stereo Audio Coming Soon?
Zord replied to Dirt Dynasty's topic in Other XP Detectors & Subjects
Dirty trick. New feature means new hardware. "Built on a new electronic architecture and advanced signal processing, these headphones are designed to deliver the next level of XP sound performance. • Compatible today with your DEUS II (mono mode) • Ready for stereo sound with the upcoming DEUS II V4 free update (available end December 2025) • Now featuring USB Type-C for charging" So now I have to sell my WS6 and buy a new WS6 ST if I want a stereo. -
Ground/Iron Break is the best part of this v3.02 software. Iron Audio was my biggest problem with D2. Especially with the pitch and full tones when the disc. is used. I had no idea what was going on with the sometimes choppy, distorted iron sounds. When I started digging up these problematic iron objects, I realized that they were almost completely corroded, had a lot of carbon in them, and were mostly infected by the proximity of mineralized soil. Add to that the pottery, bricks, and any old traces of human activity. There was no flow to the iron sound. Ground/Iron Break with -6.4 acts as a "iron audio filler". It allows you to fill in the "sound holes" and play the full, undistorted tone. https://www.xpmetaldetectors.com/en/ba/the-blog/deus-ii-v3-0-update.php "New Ground/IRON Break Setting Some ferrous materials—due to corrosion or localized mineralization—may partially fall into the negative ground ID range. This can cause sound interruptions and make it harder to clearly identify iron objects, as their low tones are cut off. The Ground/IRON Break setting allows you to fine-tune the threshold above which low tones are heard, increasing your efficiency in identifying ferrous targets. GND/IRON Break set from -1 to -5: More low tones are heard for ferrous targets. Rounded iron nail heads, which are often poorly discriminated, become easier to identify. GND/IRON Break set to -6/-6.2: While still rejecting ferrites, this setting allows detection of most meteorites, bricks, and ceramics."

This coil is not 9-90 kHz. It has 3 separate sets of multiple frequencies: 9-27 kHz, 17-53 kHz and 17-90 kHz.

Finds are not the most important thing to me. The greatest emotions accompany only this short fleeting moment when I pull the object out of the hole and touch it. The second pleasant moment is the time when I identify it. The places where I find them are more important. I do not brag about my finds, not even to my closest family. Besides, there are not many of them because I am picky and I keep in my collection only those that interest me. In fact, these are things from the 17th century and older. I leave all other finds that I do not need where I found them.

I have been swinging non-stop for 14 years, an average of 240 days a year. I have no other option for a machine. I need the lightest and most compact, only D1 and D2 works for me.

Couple Finds Ancient Dagger In Poland

In the comments section there is a post: " Just heard the new HF coil has been delayed due to FCC compliance issues...."

There is a new video coming up, scheduled for april fools day.

The video is ready to watch now. At 46:53 it starts to get really funny, Phillip says that they don't even start testing the new coil in real field conditions. And here we go again, we - the end users, have to pay for the new coil up front. The coil is not tested in real conditions because Xp decided to give that to the final tester. The customer=betatester. Maybe I'm old-fashioned, but I demand at least a modicum of respect for the customer. To me, a coil not tested in the field is an unfinished product.

Sure, it's unwatchable. But it will be, so I'm sitting here with popcorn and hoping Merril and "xp management" will reveal some new information about HF FMF. Because, so far there is nothing in FCC ID database: https://fcc.report/company/Xplorer

Tekkna For The Deus 2, First Impression (Updated 3)
Zord replied to F350Platinum's topic in XP Deus II Forum
This test was only about IDs stability and audio comparison between two programs. This test has nothing to do with masking micro gold and silver by Tekkna, ground wasn't polluted with iron and not so much mineralized. With iron pollution and presence of micro gold an silver targets, things are getting worse. That is my experience with Tekkna. Tekkna is useless in my iron infested sites and for my specific desired targets.
