I'll put up some photos of my little Cabin once the weather improves, in the middle of a storm at the moment and likely snowing later so I'll wait until the weather clears and get some current ones.

Here is a quick video I just knocked up comparing the Sphinx 03 along with the XP Mi-4, Garrett AT, Whites TRX, Fisher F-Pulse and Nokta Pulse dive on some shotgun pellets, nuggets and a coin for a quick comparison between them.  

I think the TRX is the most sensitive but also the most unstable when at high sensitivity, the Sphinx ends up being the best overall on tiny shotgun pellets as it has almost the sensitivity of the TRX but runs stable at highest sensitivity.

I broke my Pulse Dive just before filming this video trying to remove the coil off it to put the pinpointer tip on it, the thing just shattered for no apparent reason.

I've never even had the chance to use it but its run out of warranty I think (lost the receipt) 

 

I use most of time lvl. 3 of sensitivity. Working fine for me.

For XP Deus users Mi6 loses in all parameters except for compatibility and sound transmission to headphones. But i mostly dig in public place. So i use silent mode with only WS6 and vibro in Sphinx02. No problem with gloves.

I don't know about Magnetic in old place, but i am searching in modern trash. Mostly time coin shooting. Average dig rate per hour very high. Therefore, saving 5-10 seconds for each signal is very important

yes level 3 on the Sphinx = maximum and works well for me.

In high trash I can see the discrimination and auto turn on and off would be very handy time saving features.

да 3 уровень на Сфинксе = максимум и у меня работает хорошо.

В большом мусоре я вижу дискриминацию, и автоматическое включение и выключение было бы очень удобной функцией, позволяющей сэкономить время.

Try setting the 4th level higher than the 3rd and test the stability on your ground. Do not increase much to begin with, 10-20%. When you finish building the hut and go looking for treasure, you can easily switch the sensitivity from 3 to 4 (which you set) and back if the stability does not suit you. Please note that if you have tuned out from the ground and put the pinpointer into the holster, you do not need to tune it in again (the pinpointer remembers the level) when you search on the same ground. If you have gone far, then adjust the pinpointer in the air by pressing the button once.

In the video, you are using an alternative sound scheme, if you chose it consciously, this is one thing, but if by chance due to the fact that the language in the application is not clear to you, I will help you switch.

PS If you take the TRX coil, there will be no lateral sensitivity. Some people shoot themselves in the foot, but I still don't understand them.

I have reset my audio to defaults now, I was playing around with adjusting the tones and pitch, a nice feature ?

I can not work out how to adjust the sensitivity level 4, I have now switched the pinpointer to 4 but as I can't read the app I can't find where to set up the sensitivity manually to make it higher.

Сейчас я сбросил настройки звука по умолчанию, поигрался с настройкой тонов и высоты тона, хорошая функция  ?

Я не могу понять, как настроить уровень чувствительности 4, сейчас я переключил пинпоинтер на 4, но, поскольку я не могу прочитать приложение, я не могу найти, где настроить чувствительность вручную, чтобы сделать ее выше.

 - It says "Setup Level 4" - Click - then the "Setup" (Настроить) button 

- Custom (4) sensitivity level setting
Click on the “Setup” button in the application, and the device will enter the 4-level sensitivity setting mode.
Bring a metal object to the required detection distance and press the button on the metal detector once. If necessary, correct the distance and press the button on the metal detector again. After setting the required sensitivity level, press and hold the button on the metal detector until a beep sounds. In this case, the set sensitivity level will be remembered as level 4, and the device will return to the BT (bluetooth) setting mode.
IMPORTANT: Setting the sensitivity level too high may cause the detector to become unstable.

Take a large ball (a bullet from a shotgun), look at the distance at the 3rd level of sensitivity. Go to level 4 setting and bring 10% more distance than level 3 - save once per button. Arranged? You can repeat. When you save, hold and again you will be in the settings. What you saved will be at the 4th level - switch and check.

Everything that you see in the settings, you need to set it up once for your operating conditions, your habits and forget it. There is one reason you will go to the application, this is to look at the battery level, but when you discharge the battery once and the low battery indication works (do it! you will have to wait a long time), you will understand that you don’t need to monitor the battery, because guys from the Northern Hemisphere also go for treasures and understand you very well :)

Holy crap! you're right.  I just adjusted it a little, went outside and tested it on the ground OK, then tested and now the coin I was getting 6cm on I now get 8cm on.  The number 9 shotgun pellet now responds on the tip of the pin pointer and doesn't even need to touch the tip, so its now beating the TRX quite easily in both depth and sensitivity.

I will keep adjusting and work out how far I can take the sensitivity while keeping it stable on the ground.

Thanks for the help, very impressed.

I will record an updated video comparing it once I've worked out the best setting for me.

Are you also able to provide me with the APK file for the Android app, I'm currently using the Iphone app which I was able to get from the Apple Store, however I want the Android app and it's only available on the RU store.

Святое дерьмо! ты прав. Я просто немного отрегулировал его, вышел на улицу и проверил его на земле, все в порядке, затем проверил, и теперь монета, на которой я получал 6 см, теперь имеет 8 см. Ружейная пуля номер 9 теперь реагирует на наконечник пинпойнта, и ей даже не нужно касаться наконечника, так что теперь она довольно легко превосходит TRX как по глубине, так и по чувствительности.

Я буду продолжать настраивать и выяснять, насколько далеко я могу повысить чувствительность, сохраняя при этом стабильность на земле.

Спасибо за помощь, очень впечатлен.

Я запишу обновленное видео, сравнивая его, как только выработаю для себя наилучшие настройки.

Вы также можете предоставить мне APK-файл для приложения Android, в настоящее время я использую приложение для iPhone, которое мне удалось получить в Apple Store, однако мне нужно приложение для Android, и оно доступно только в магазине RU.

my nick is @gmail.com i'll see what i can do for you

Ok, 

This is how I think the Sphinx App should look in English

If this was done it would be excellent.

Ok, now it's interesting again. ? 

Is this pinpointer ever going to be available to other countries though, or is it something a person is going to have to jump through hoops to acquire?
