Paul (CA) Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 Hello Steve, Seen this this morning, Good of Tom to share what he can. Reading between the lines, sounds like a deep model in good soil with audio ID. But yet to be tested in tough soil, And recovery speed seems slower than Tarsacci. That’s what I’m reading between the lines, could be wrong. I like the fact this prototype will discriminate iron (audio) at great depths, something the Tarsacci and a GPX lack. Tarsacci is and will still be a main contender, it’s quick recovery speed in iron and great depth in poor soil is amazing. Looking forward to hearing more on this prototype, is it a Pi/VLF? Let’s hope so, our hobby continues to be interesting. Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Herschbach Posted February 5, 2020 Author Share Posted February 5, 2020 All I’m seeing is this “I have very strong reservations if this unit will ever make it to market.” It does not matter what it does if you can’t get one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul (CA) Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 True, even if it never makes it to market. The seed is planted, maybe encourage what’s out there to be improved. MDT 8000 2? Paul 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill (S. CA) Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 Steve, What an appropriate moniker to use for this latest smoke and mirrors machine. Brought back a lot of memories about the "revolutionary" PD and its inventor. Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Beechnut OBN Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 Cygnus? From what I know....It's still coming, but with possible delays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doubtful it has anything to do with Cygnus based on what Tom describes. It is not even close to what the Cygnus crowd is promising in regards to being able to differentiate between mid-conductuve, non-ferrous trash (i.e., aluminum) and mid-conductive, non-ferrous treasure (i.e., gold) based on the arbitrary mid-conductive to high-conductive breakpoint he describes for that machine. I suspect Cygnus is not a metal detector in the traditional sense of detecting and IDing targets via inductive properties of those targets. Cygnus is probably AI-based learning of junk targets based on some type of GPR imaging technology. That tech exists now and is mature, but not sure how they are able to package it for practical portability and reasonable cost. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alaskaseeker Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 Interesting, i didnt know that work was still being done on the PD... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All be it said, more than likely it is correct, but I think it is an assumption that it is the PD that Tom is describing on his forum. Enquiring minds want to know.? Maybe at a latter date and time it will be made clear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
