It is I who is buried the targets so it does not count ... I had a clean sound on each target and we could hear gold and iron at the same time in tone mode. But as I said, we cannot take it into account....

I made a lot of videos. You have to see it to understand.
Among the people who have abandoned there is everything detectors, and also beach detectors, BBS, PI, etc ...
People had unlimited time for this test, some stayed 10 minutes per 1m square !
These people could not differentiate the ground effects of ferrous and rings, it was very destabilizing for them, although the targets were not

It’s a prospecting rally so there are a lot of people who don’t detect often at the beach. But there are at least 10% who detect regularly and they have not necessarily passed the tests.
Someone who has an excalibur does not detect on the land but at the beach only, or else he likes to whip himself!

The worst is the number of times someone told me there is something when there was nothing, the sand had not even moved ...
So now someone who buries a target at 35cm and tells me this detector detects it and that no, I can't believe it.
As long as he has not made blind tests, and that someone has hidden the targets for him without telling him where, we should not listen.

Many PIs, BBS, VLF of all types have given up, there are not really detectors that have shown themselves to be brilliant.
The good mastery and experience of the prospectors meant that they were able to score more points.
Count of correct answers: ferrous targets + 1pt / gold targets + 3pts.
Counting the wrong answers -1pt.

First rule Blind tests are mandatory to be serious.
Second rule if you do not agree refer to rule number 1
The purpose of this playground, and not to take into account the feeling of the prospector. It is too easy for a participant to indicate that he is correctly detecting the target. But in general he does not detect it or he thinks to detect it. It often detects a ground effect.

Do not worry, I am preparing a very large personal website, with:
• Get Started
• Knowledge Base
• Key Technologies
There will be links to new YouTube channels, with:
• comparative videos on each detector
• technical videos of presentation of the material
• Key Technologies videos
• videos of general knowledge
You just have to wait a bit.

The day Carl told me that TOM had told him that it was the second best detector for him after AQUASTAR, I was very surprised.
I had owned the last issue of AQUASTAR, number 21 during many years.
I have redraw the boards (retroengineering) many times. His electronic have no secrets for me.
The Aquastar has the exact same board as the deepstar 3, the coil is different.
The Aquastar is a

* You're right the goldscan 5C in the state of the model was not at all suitable, it was necessary before it can be used modified and further modified ... But here we are talking about a system that no longer has nothing to see....
* Yes the sensitivity to iron is increased it is for this reason that it is so much easier to eliminate it.
All metal detectors based on an impulse principl

Hello,
Salt wet sand for US nickel :
IN ALL METAL MODE 17'' without noise at 7µs with a maximum ferrous discrimination
IN TONE MODE 17'' without noise at 7µs with a maximum ferrous discrimination
IN MUTE MODE 17'' without noise at 7µs with a maximum ferrous discrimination
With fast or slow SAT speed setting...
If the competition is better I pay them

Is he sensitive to EMI?
More or less than a VLF like equinox ?
Much less than an equinox.
I do not read anything about aluminum?
Everything depends on the aluminium, the aluminium is found on all the scale of the conductivities.
By changing the delay or making any adjustment there is the possibility of eliminating some small alu ?
NO the same for VLF and BBS.
Is it possible

For the production, the headphone connector have 5 pins (on the left with a back view)
For the production, connexion between shaft and battery have 4 pins (on the right)
And you plug your charger on the right.

A empty small battery pack (3500 mah) charge in 2 hours in half maximum
I chose the format 18650 because it is this type of batteries that evolve technologically faster and with a better price.
Yes it's sure ! it's a new challenges for recovering such deep targets in shallow water with quicksand without being able to touch the bottom.
We must choose beaches in consequence

I'm working on the videos, I'll publish them again a little later before launching...
I do not know the release date yet...

After 3rd day of research

Unfortunately he did not find coins, no US nickel in addition! (laughs) ;-))

All the targets are placed on the hard bottom of the beach between 40 and 50cm and they cannot go down any further.
Denis chose these beaches for that. The competit

It's only conductivity except for special targets, but it does not avoid the same traps as on the VLF, BBS
US nickel or ring in this material is not rejected.
US nickel or ring inside nails is detected
Beer caps like on VLF or BBS it depends if they are new or rusty.
A fence staple is discriminated, rejected.
A closed iron ring, it cuts and at the same time it rings slightly.

ZPT® « ZERO PRESSURE TECHNOLOGY »
Designed for all IMPULSE SERIES
ZPT technology distributes the torsion, traction and shock forces due to the swing of the coil.
Vibrations and oscillations of the moving coil are damped.
The position of the ears at the center of gravity facilitates the fast swing allowed by the IMPULSE series.
The "paddle" effect is avoided for an
