Rev Number

[Mark Gillespie]

Noticed a couple interesting bits of information while hunting yesterday:
The unit I'm using does not save the GB settings between the frequencies. I went through these frequencies multiple times and each carries the GB of the prior frequency settings.
Not a problem for me.
This unit has a revision of 1 "R1", no idea how many revisions there might be.
Thought I would hunt a while without SB enabled and noticed I was digging a lot more pieces of foil that gave a good tone. Enabling SB and these deep trashy items would break up after a few coils sweeps. Nice.
Starting to hear the difference in iron false tones. Nice.
Even if you get a good tone one way, 2-3 more sweeps over the target reveals its true nature.


One thing for sure, if the ground has ever been moved, the GB will be a lot less than compacted dirt "what we call field dirt in Virginia"
Confidence in this detector is growing with each hunt.

This applies to the Tarsacci detector.

Mark it would be interesting to know what other Tarsacci show .

 Thanks for the post.

I am almost positive mine also shows R1.

Your observations are spot on with the Tarsacci.

NASA Tom makes a good point on sweep speed but like any detector there is a Goldilocks speed that is just right given the conditions. Too fast OR too slow will lose depth & targets.

Rev number shows when the detector is first started.

The SB settings are saved between frequencies and after a complete shutdown/restart.
