What I want to know is how could someone watch a few minutes of video and know what’s inside the detector (tech wise) or make such claims as they have.
Maybe these folks should be engineering detectors.lol
Yeah those posts above will be here. Maybe in time after the cat is really out of the bag with this detector as to its performance we can look back here and see if any genius was used or not.
So basically all detector engineers may as well quit. Go home. There is no way in the world an engineer could discover something to improve on or find something new vs what has already been engineered for folks to use on a salt water beach.
Why would these folks even be reading in this thread at all if this were so?
I may be wrong here. But if I read correctly this French gent named Alexandre showed his project early on to another engineer living in USA who I think is very familiar with TDI ops and other pi detector units. And seems what the USA based engineer witnessed got his attention and got it well. Hence he (Alexandre) was connected with the folks at First Texas. And the project was developed and refined even moreso.
Because I have used the TDI for quite a while, and the detector in the video discs just like a TDI has done for 10+ years. I can set up the ground balance knob to the right setting, then switch from gb off and gb on and it acts exactly like the AQ in the video.
In the end, my point when posting in this thread is that the AQ really isn't doing anything new in the video that they posted. Whites TDI has 2 tones to tell you high conductivity or low conductivity, Garrett Infinium/ATX does the same, and so do Minelab PIs. TDI was the only one (possibly Minelab PIs also) to allow you to hide the tone you dont want to hear (which Fisher is now doing and claiming it is the first discriminating PI).
Until I see the Fisher PI discing out bobby pins and bottle caps (which current PIs can't do), I'm sticking to it just being a copy of TDI/Eric Foster Technology. If that happens I will gladly admit I am wrong, and probably buy one.
