Joel - cacadordereliquia Posted May 22, 2023 Share Posted May 22, 2023 If the devices started to discriminate lead or other ferrous materials, certainly some gold would have escaped, because gold varies in content. it is very different, it varies from each region, here in my region the tero is 70%, now there is gold in Para there and with a 100% content. If you were to analyze this case and use discrimination, the device would not work 100%, that's why they take everything, so you don't leave anything behind. This week I went hunting and the device beeped on a stone, I thought the signal was below the stone, I removed the stone and the signal disappeared, I could see that the signal was on the stone, the device showed that it was a noble metal as if it were gold. When I broke the stone I noticed that it was a kind of dark material and it gave a signal to the device. If it was an IP device and would have discrimination would have lost that stone. There is a lack of cheap IP equipment on the market, minelaba reigns in this market with its machines. Let's hope that the macro puts a cost device on the market and IP benefit. So everyone would be able to use this machine that makes the difference in detection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasong Posted May 22, 2023 Share Posted May 22, 2023 I totally forgot about this detector. I hope they come out with one still. All I need is: light, fast, quiet (EMI), external speaker, and a little more sensitive than a 5000 so I can hit the buried sub-0.1 nugget leads while exploring. Make it $2k And I'll ditch my 6000 and use this all day as an exploration/prospecting machine and never look back, I need an excuse to stop using ML products, still pissed about the 6000 honestly and how they treated the EMI issues and fix "rollout" that I had to force for them. Plus I just don't trust the 6 anymore either. I had a bad experience with Nokta when they first rolled out the FORS Core, 3 of mine failed in a row and I just gave up and threw it in the closet. Willing to try again. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frolm Posted June 12, 2023 Share Posted June 12, 2023 Anything to compete with minelab would be fantastic something to rival the 6000 without the ridiculous high price. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garrett does this with the Axiom today, which starts at $2000 less than the GPX 6000 in the US, but unfortunately, that price delta does not exist in Australia where ML is king from a price perspective. Nokta might even have a tough time challenging ML price wise with a PI on ML’s home turf. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Herschbach Posted June 12, 2023 Share Posted June 12, 2023 On 3/21/2022 at 5:42 AM, Nokta Detectors said: Hello all.... copied all the posts in a word document and will go through them myself first and then share with the engineers. A few questions - 1) IS GPS NECESSARY/BENEFICIAL ON A PI UNIT? 2) IS COLOR SCREEN MORE PREFERRED? ADVANTAGES / DISADVANTAGES 3) ARE YOU OK WITH AN EXTERNAL CABLE AROUND THE SHAFT? 4) COILS - SIZES AND SHAPES (3 PLEASE) 5) IS 10 FT WATERPROOF GOOD ENOUGH? PS. Sorry if any of these were mentioned already in the posts.... did not read them all yet. So just over a year ago we were at the “talking about what the detector should look like” stage. That’s the last post I can find from Dilek about the PI and where it is. It can take up to five years to develop a completely new detector from scratch. Nokta has been much faster than most however, and one reason I suggested the Impact housing was to shorten development time. Still, a year would be a pretty amazing thing, and I’d think next year at earliest. Assuming development did actually get past the “we are thinking about it stage.” Maybe the Minelab lawsuit derailed things with the lawsuit as we have heard nothing for over a year now. Still looking for a winner for my Under 4 Pound, Under $2000 Gbpi Challenge after six years of waiting. Fingers crossed for 2024. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCR Posted June 12, 2023 Share Posted June 12, 2023 I'm willing to wait for Nokta to make Steve's challenge a reality. I think they will. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JPS Posted July 13, 2023 Share Posted July 13, 2023 hello to all, someone has news on the new PI detector in project of NOKTA MACRO, thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff McClendon Posted July 13, 2023 Share Posted July 13, 2023 At this point I would be happy with a Garrett version of the TDI/TDI SL with lithium ion/NiMH internal or removable batteries that don't need to be modded, an ergonomic, fully waterproof housing with collapsible shaft system, wireless audio options and Coiltek, Nuggetfinder, Minelab coil compatibility along with some well made stock coils from Garrett. It doesn't have to be super sensitive to small sub gram gold nuggets. It just needs to be a functioning coin/jewelry/relic detector with decent depth on mineralized ground and saltwater beaches and surf. If Nokta Detectors can build something like that or with even more sensitivity to nuggets while also being fully water proof that will work with mono and DD coils, at around $2000........fantastic. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JPS Posted July 16, 2023 Share Posted July 16, 2023 hello jeff, yes your solution would be good, I had heard that they had to be inspired rather by the gpx 5000 to create their new PI, and that it had to be waterproof. With a telescopic cane it would not be bad. But your idea of the tdi whites would be a good idea. No one has information about nokta's project on their IP development. And the release of the new impulse aq from fisher will it be released this year? ? THANK YOU Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
