Because I wish I was at the beach - here's a beach detector

Here's a video....
A couple of disclaimers,

The guys are in France - they speak French

This is not a product - it's an earlier prototype of the technology which Fisher (First Texas) acquired when they did the deal to hire Alexandre Tartar who designed it.

I think the video is "on the up-and-up" - without any intentional trickery or deception. If First Texas weren't convinced that there was something worthwhile there, I'm sure they would never have spent whatever it cost them to acquire this.

This detector is showing the following:

Iron discrimination by silencing iron - "Discri coupure du fer" = FE discriminated out - no signal

Iron detection by distintive "multitone" on iron - "Discri multitons" = multi tone discrimination

'See through" of a gold ring under two rusty nails

"See through" (And non-reaction to) black volcanic sand.

Impressive thanks for the post..

An iron discing Pulse for relics and beach and even deep turf silver would be a welcome addition to an arsenal..

Thanks Rick. We could use a detector like this here in central Va.

Oh my!! Love the multi tone. Unbelievable!

Man if them boys needs a beach tester for onr of those ..... id love to get my hand on one. Sweet for Gulf hunting.

I am reasonably confident that Carl Moreland at First Texas will ensure that Alexandre's work is eventually turned into a reasonably priced killer beach detector for the market.

When that will happen - or to what extent it points the way to an inland machine with similar capabilities, nobody knows ..... moving from prototype/concept to marketable product is amazingly slow and difficult.

Very similar to the audio response of the TDI on buried nails with both ground balance and delay setting adjustments.
One thing I did notice, only low conductor targets were tested against the bags and nails. Since nails in the ground tend to mimic high conductors, I'd like to see the same video with only high conductor targets and see the results.
But still very interesting.

Something will come - what it will be and when it will come - no one who knows will say - no one who says, knows anything.

Serious folks working hard to do something truly new. Difficult, slow work, even if you start with a promising concept and prototype.
