  1. Absolutely, I sat down for a couple days and did a complete chart for the D2, Manticore and Legend for all my coins.
  2. Steve, This is what I came up with on my air tests for the gold coins that I have in my collection. Very close to Andy's results. Again, this was an air test but still interesting.
  3. I do, with a pair of wired earbuds. I just stick the WM09 in my pocket and run the earbuds under my shirt. This is my first Minelab and initially thought the WM09 would be bigger, but its quite small.
  4. You’re killing me Phrunt. You know I have pinpointer Fear Of Missing Out syndrome.
  5. I have the RCDigs remote mount for Steve’s shaft and they did a great job with it. Good luck with the test.
  6. My nickel zone is 58-64. I had a V nickel come in at 64, which is the highest so far.
  7. That would be of interest to me as well F350. I just recently got a second complete D2 unit at a very good price and have the remote and WS6 on V.71. My original D2 unit is currently on V1.1 and intended to do a side by side comparison but it got cold here in Ohio and haven’t had the chance to do so.
  8. Yes, I did the same as Scott and messed around with it for almost 20 minutes until I accidentally figured it out.
  9. Phrunt, I have seen where some have said that their Accupoint isn’t as deep as their Garrett AT. For them, that may very well be true, but in my soil my Accupoint beats my Carrot by at least 1/4 inch. The only pinpointers I have that are deeper in my soil are the F-Pulse and the Quest X-Pointer Max (barely). I have tried both the Accupoint and the MI6/4 side by side for probably close to 150 targets at a local park and neither of them have found something that the other one didn’t. So for me, depth wise, I think the Accupoint is more similar to the XP MI6/4. I still use the Accupoint as my main pinpointer but I carry my MI6 as a back up and do comparisons on occasion. Hope this was helpful.
  10. Bohemia, During the beta test we were using V1.12 and when turning off the Accupoint, the voice announced "Disconnecting". Since the release of V1.13 I no longer get any audible alerts of "Connecting or Disconnecting". Initially, I got alot of falsing until I set the sensitivity at 7, and did a frequency shift. Now I get very little falsing, but on the occasion I do, a simple retune (quick push of the on/off button) solves the problem.
  11. Phrunt, This shouldn't surprise you, but this is killing me that I cant get a Sphinx 03 pin-pointer. As I mentioned before, the first step is to admit that you have a problem...I have a problem.
  12. Bootscrape, Yes, the best way that I have found through the beta test is to use the method that Tom described to you. Whenever I go out to hunt I follow this sequence: 1. Turn on headphones 2. Turn on Accupoint. I hold the Accupoint near my watch so it will alert through headphones as soon as its paired. Once its paired, turn off the Accupoint. 3. Turn on the Legend. It will pair with the headphones at that point. Hope this helps.
  13. I ended up changing to different batteries, and a fellow sent me a different user manual that had a way to retune the FPulse. I will say that since Ive done those two things, it seems to be usable now. I dont know what or if either of those fixed the issue or both together…but it is more usable now.
  14. F350, I agree, the FPulse and TekPoint are very deep, but they false sooo much that they are completely unusable for me. I have a brand new TekPoint in the box that I cant use and its killing me.
  15. CT, I was a beta tester as well and in my area, I initially had some issues with falsing. I did a frequency shift and lowered the sensitivity to 7, and have no issues now. Occasionally it will start to false but I just do a quick retune and it shuts up. I have 11 pin-pointers and during my in ground testing comparison and subsequent use, the FPulse and Quest XPointer Max are deeper. The Accupoint depth wise, has been equal to my MI6, unless the MI6 is paired with the D2 and the sens maxed out at 50…then the MI6 is deeper. The Accupoint has been a great pin-pointer for me.
  16. F350, I apologize if I misunderstand what your saying, but if you go into the settings and activate the flashlight, it will turn on when the Accupoiont is turned on and turn off when the Accupoint is turned off. This setting should be saved until you change it. When I did in ground depth test comparisons, the FPulse and Quest were deeper as well. The Accupoint and the XP were pretty much the same, unless I connected the MI6 to the D2 and cranked the sens to 50. In that case, the MI6 was deeper. Although when the MI6 wasn’t connected to the D2, the Accupoint seemed to hit a little harder than the MI6 at the edge of detection.
  17. The Accupoint is a great pinpointer. The menu is super easy and I like the Disc better than the Disc on my Quest XPointer Max.
  18. I've had no issues updating. Make sure to do a factory reset after updating to a new software version.
  19. NM just released V1.13 update for the Legend, for those users who have or are planning on getting an Accupoint. If you read my review of the Accupoint on the main Nokta Makro page, my only issue was a lag of several seconds after the Accupoint was turned off for the headphones to connect back to the Legend. This update seems to have fixed that issue. My headphones are connecting back to the Legend immediately after the Accupoint is turned off. Just wanted to pass along.
  20. Johnny, Nokta just released V1.13 update for the Legend. V3i hit the nail on the head. I was unsure myself initially but after this new update, it essentially does what V3i stated. I dont understand how all the blue tooth stuff works, but it appears to cut the signal from the Legend to the headphones when the Accupoint is turned on and reconnects the signal from the Legend to the headphones when the Accupoint is turned off. When I was testing it, there was a 5-10 second lag after the Accupoint was turned off before restoring the Legend signal. Now, that return is immediate. Nokta fixed the only real dislike I had for this pinpointer.
  21. Dig, If you look at the picture, the speaker is recessed about 1/2 inch lower than the charging port, in a small tunnel like area. The audio booster has a small tube like portion on the back that fits into the speaker tunnel. I believe that this directs the audio up this tube to the audio output in the end cap. I don't think it actually boosts the audio, just directs it.
