Out of curiosity, when using one machine and before digging up the target, did you try the other machines to see if they would also indicate a good or possibly good target?

I have only found a home made piggy bank. Back in the day, Log Cabin syrup came in tins that looked like a log cabin and the syrup poured from the chimney. Someone had opened up a slot in the roof of the log cabin and inside was 5 wheats.
A few years ago, while returning from an old school site after only finding a 1940D Wheat and a 5 cent movie token, I stopped and ask permission about an

How is the audio on coins at depth for the Deus 3.2? For instance on the Gold Maxx Power, coins at about the 6" range and less really blare in my headphones and I have to use the limiter, at around 7 to 8", not as loud, but still good audio and from about 9" and deeper, a faint signal. How do the 2 compare?

"...if it does we MAY have a better unmasker in iron with the newer quicker faster tone processor's at work..have to wait and see!"
How does it compare to the XP GM Power?
How is the audio for high conductors?
Thanks,

This is how I have mine set up. These are 8" Velco strips and I only used the orange so it would show better in the photo. I use the black
ones and they take up all the looseness of the control box to arm rest.
As a side note, my neighbor is an elderly woman and I get her mail for her. She told me of some property that she has and told me there is suppose to be money buried on the pl

Hey Paul,
Thanks for sharing this information. On the black protective tape, can you give more information about this? Is OSH Hardware local or are they across the country. Is the black protective tape fairly easy removing (such as replacing after some use, etc.)
Thanks,
Ron

Tom,
On the Gold Maxx Power, I'm assuming you were using the 9" coil on the test, is that right ?
Also, do you have the 11" coil and did you try it on the site?
Thanks,
Ron

Kieth,
I think you need to check out that creek. Some soldier probably stopped to get a drink and when he bent over he lost his gold coin(s). Isn't this calling you to be checked out. Wait.......I think I can hear it calling you (Kieth, Kieth). Did you hear that!!!!! lol

I don't know if all units are this way, but on mine, you press the On/Off button and take your finger off the button as soon as you press it and it comes on in about 2 seconds. Press and hold to turn Off and it turns Off in about 1 second.
I have read some complain about it be chatty or false with sensitivity settings of 3 or 4. Again, I don't know if all the units are the same, bu

For those who have the TRX, how many have tested it for the Lost Alarm? After approximately 5 minutes of being idle, it is suppose to give a long beep for approximately 5 minutes to alert you where it is and after that 5 minutes, 10 minutes total, it shuts itself off.
This was one of the last things I tested, just last week, after receiving it 4 weeks ago and mine is totally silent for the who

When you do an air test, make sure your at least 18" or more away from large pieces of metal. I was sitting on my bed doing an air test with a nickel and with the sensitivity at default (on 3), I was getting 4 3/4", with sensitivity on 4, I was getting 5 1/2". The next day in another location with sensitivity on 3 all I could get was 3 9/16" and on 4 a depth of 4 7/16".
