Great find, Calabash. Thank you for your videos and for stimulating the discussion on several forums. I know you do the videos because you enjoy doing it but I also have a pretty good idea just how much work is involved in such things, and I want you to know how much I appreciate your efforts. Keep it up. Keep asking good questions and trying to give good answers. It will help those who can keep

One of these days someone will have a detector with a bluetooth connection to your smartphone and an app that uses advanced signal processing and a database to give you a super-detector. Might nor even be that far off. Kinda suprised someone hasn't already tried to harness that fairly powerful computer most of us carry in our pockets every day.

The proof will be in the pudding. Here's hoping the TID does what I need it to do. Or that the frequency choices give me some advantage that offsets the lower TID resolution. Overall, I really like the design. Looking forward to getting my hands on one and wringing it out.
Gonebeepin', you are definitely right. A 40 segment scale will give a more stable TID than a 95 segment scale by

On the Ctx you have both parameters of the tdi displayed, correct? So, although you have 48 segments of conductivity, those segments are paired with an additional number to give additional information, thus giving you much greater than the 48 segments. When park hunting, resolution can be the difference between digging up a bunch of aluminum screw caps and digging up a bunch of coins. One of my d

Man, That TID range really bums me out. 50 segments is low resolution, not high resolution. If those segments are linear, I see a lot of lumping targets together. Ok on the beach, because I pretty much dig it all there but frustrating in a park. First thing I have seen about this detector that makes me hesitant.....

Dr.Tones, thank you for the work you put into this project, and thank you for whatever info you can give us about it. Amazing how rough it can be around here and other forums...all forums. I hope you are able to keep it from getting you down. As has been said, there is a lot of bat-@#$%& crazy around. Lots of anger, distrust. Alot of folks that aren't happy unless they are unhappy.

Multiple individual frequencies
Multiple combined frequencies
Fast
Waterproof
Clean interface
Light weight
Reasonable price
Other coil choices
Too many unanswered questions at this point but it sure has the potential to be a winner. Time will tell.

I worked in the dialysis field for 19 years. Here is my advice:
Take ownership of the disease and for your care. Educate yourself about kidney failure and the proper treatments available. Make sure you follow your doctors' directions. Don't skip medications. Don't skip treatments. Don't shorten treatments. Stick to your diet restrictions. Stick to your fluid restrictions. T

I took my new-to-me MX Sport to the beach yesterday to check out the after-storm beach. I went to a beach a couple miles north of Ponce Inlet. The beach had a lot of sand moved around since the last time I was there but it looked to me like it took the sand off the higher parts of the beach and moved it to the lower parts. I was suprised at how few targets I was hitting. This beach has been sande

Not exactly true. Will it compare to a PI- no. I used mine on the wet sand last week south of Daytona and found several coins in the 5-7 inch range. Beach is badly sanded in so targets were few and far between. In the water,

So, I guess they have, to a point. I was thinking more in terms of the phone as a control box and signal analyzer. Seems like there hase to be an awful lot more information in the signal than what is currently displayed or even analyzed. I would agree the two examples given pretty much suck.

Many, if not most, of us walk around with a very powerful computer in our pocket in the form of a smart phone. i wonder if any of the manufacturers have considered taking advantage of that powerful computer with the stereo sound and hi-def full-color display in the design of a new detector. One that is along the lines of a Deus but with much more processing power. Imagine a detector with a lot of

Mr. Boykin, as I stated in my pm to you, I will do my best to make a video of the issues I have for you. I will do this because I would really, really like to see this detector "made right". However, as has been pointed out by multiple people here, you are asking me to do the job that Whites should be doing. I expect that making the requested video will take at least an hour and who kno

Just got my updated MXS back from Whites a couple days ago. This is the latest update and I have the same issues with mine that you describe. The backlight causes a background hum. If I turn VCO off, the pinpoint audio drops out and pinpointing must be done by watching the depth display. If I turn the Audio Modulation on, it results in bizarre audio signals that are maybe 1/4 as loud as the other

Like anything else, it depends on the motivattion and interests and personality. What is the detectorist trying to get out of the hobby? Just something to do on an occassional Saturday afternoon or are they seriously studying every nuance of detecting in order to master their machine? Do they have the patience that it takes to stick with a machine long enough to really learn what the machine is c
