Moving on from the trolls...
We buried this "very quickly" at Pismo Beach in some visible black wet sand.....I'd say about 8-10 inches balled up...and 6 or so open and flat.
There was room to spare on the signal...I won't speculate how much. We did not test other detectors on the chain...sorry.

I will defend myself against stupidity....and intent being placed behind my words. Fisher has no say in that...ever. They asked me...not the other way around. They can stop anytime they want if they feel I am too loose of a cannon.
Now please...stop placing words in my mouth....twisting them to show foul intent. It's just not there.
Hate me...I don't care. I enjoy it

I think Tom is a fantastic and awesome guy. Probably one of the biggest credits to the hobby. I love his website and forum. I learn a ton from him and the great minds who frequent here. Be REALLY hard for a jealous guy to say that. No if - and - but.

Soooo you appear to be saying Tom was involved or is involved ....very early on perhaps. I do indeed remember that NDA....which tied his hands.....some may not have cared,but there were those of us here who felt differently.

Beau (and his brother) were millionaires (or damn close) before YouTube.
So the idea that YouTube or this TV venture will "change him"...might be a bit of a stretch.

Also, the HunterGT made the statement: “Snap it’s that easy!”
Those are VERY strong words by a person who LITERALLY tested a IMPULSE....and WITH NO EXPERIENCE WITH A PULSE INDUCTION MACHINE.
What is being implied here? Anyone can do it....?
It was sarcasm. Those are literally NOT very strong words as I did not capitalize or bold them. Pretty sure I placed a spinning smiley

Hey Possum, looks like you had a reasonable question about sweep speed and Ol Grumpy Toad blew you off with an eye roll.
Here is a video showing sweep speed while testing. Enjoy.
Compounded by 30 other questions in 5 other threads? It's not really reasonable anymore is it? We are sharing what we can...when we can...and you want MORE...none of it is "good enough&q

HOW DEEP WAS THAT THIN GOLD RING?
About 7-8 inches. Hits the same sized ring at 12 inches in gold claim dirt...screaming loud signal. I'd have dug deeper but hit bedrock. 6 bar dirt on the F75/T2 scale.

Yeah, I'm loving that from a nerd standpoint alone. Looks very neat.
Just imagine down the road a bit. Future is going to be awesome once that tech gets placed into a smaller box and a cell phone (or similar) as a screen.

Whoever did the soldering job at FTP was perfect. Every last set looked like the headphones were factory made that way.

8 sets of headphones?????
Just show the GOLD!!!!!!!
It was a thin 10K ladies band...very common. Seen one ya seen them all. I was not filming the hunt.
A guy saw me dig it...offered me $80 on the spot for it...I laughed him off but he was serious.

I'll post some pics and such on Monday the 18th when I get back home...they just greenlighted me to show some. Took a few while I had it for a week in October.
Found a thin ladies 10K gold ring first day out with the prototype....and I had never really used a PI at that point.
I tested something else...not the unit. So they didn't even send instructions for the unit...I just

Jason Deng left California for the first plane back to China after admitting one of his "engineering team" made a "mistake" by buying bad code on the original Quest model.
His name is not even Jason....it's Mao or some @#$%&.
Let that sink in a minute. They don't even engineer their own code...they buy it...on the Chinese market.

3.7 lbs and balanced well in my opinion. I swung it for 7 hours with a 30-minute lunch break in there somewhere.
It's not F75 or T2 ergo (3.5 lbs)...but it feels better than an AT Pro (3 lbs) since the Li-ion battery is under the cuff (like the F75 and T2).
Like you say Harold...everybody has different arms. Seen some skinny dudes swing heavy detectors...and bigger guys complai

Daniel has soil that Satan must have pissed on. Mine maxes out the T2/F75/Anfibio scales in some areas...but not near as bad as his seems to be.
Calabash has mana from Heaven as his soil.
I guess most folks lie somewhere in between...

I have never liked it on any detector. F75...Deus...Anfibio. To each their own of course - some guys swear by it.

You don’t need max gain using 2 tone or 4 tone to get some nice depth.
Actually you likely won’t ever use max gain in 2 tone or 4 tone.
Disc setting. This will depending on level used make detector more noisy. But running too high will have negative effects on the detectors ability to separate and unmask. Default settings work pretty darn good here.

Yeah, it will disc and notch clear to 99...I will give that a try to see how that works. Thanks.
Disc 5-6 seems to quiet it down pretty well...and 9-10 seems to be the point where the inverse disc to depth thing takes over. I know at disc 15 it is dead silent but the depth is killed. As soon as you hit 16 it opens right back up again. So the 1-15 thing is key for sure.

I call them "quirks" because some people may like them...yet some may dislike them.
The people who cannot get past the mental block of "it must be 99" will be in for a rough time. It will give some internal circuit feedback like a hot T2 or F75.
You hear every snap/crackle/pop your soil has to offer on this one...even at low gain. Including any birdshot sized trash
