Does anyone have experience with AKA detectors?

I've lurked around this forum but just registered so I can post. Been reading about the AKA detectors for a year now and am ready to find out for myself about their performance. Does anyone here have some hands on experience with one of the AKA models? I've talked with one U.S. AKA owner over on Gary's UK site and he was very positive about his machine. the videos I've watched are very impressive but I'd feel better hearing more feedback from experienced US users.

There will be some AKA testing by one of our more respected members here in the coming weeks. Stay tuned.

Thanks I look forward to reading it.

Etrac, Whites V3, XP Deus, AKA Sorex Pro, Minelab Musketeer Advantage, Compadre and Pocket Uniprobe

Though I live in Europe, I am an American and a coin hunter, so perhaps I can comment.
I found the Signum to be a bit deeper than another other machine I have used (e.g. E-Trac, CTX, Omega 8000, Nautilus IIB, T2).
My ground is moderately minus in iron mineralization. Seems like 8" with the occasional 9" was the max for the first two Minelabs listed, the CTX could more consistently hit 9" weekly.)
The Signum hits 9" CLEANLY, I was really shocked. I have quite a few videos, newest are all Signum with some deep uns. [www.youtube.com]
I play around with the settings a lot here so you can get a good idea on an 8" deep coin - [www.youtube.com]

Enjoy,
Albert

Thank you Albert, I appreciate your input and the link to the videos. I think I can learn something from them.
