The original Go-Find series and the upgraded newer Go-Find 22, 44 and 66 use the X-Terra VFlex technology.
It is my understanding that Minelab will not be coming out with any new single frequency VLF detector models. The Gold Monster 1000 was the last.
All of the new Minelab VLFs will supposedly be simultaneous multi-frequency.
Matt to Jeff;
The above 'highlighted example I've used on your reply, is meant to indicate the section of your comments
that I question.
.All the original aspects of your post, I accept; and subsequently concentrate on the highlighted section,.(as follows.)
You use the terminology ' Minelab's VLF(?)... then relate it to their 'simultaneous multi-frequency...
To me, that is inference is wrong. Minelab's 'Multi-frequency is FBS technology; whereas VLF (in my opinion) is the old designation relating to Frequency Domain detecting technology. (i.e. up to 30 Kilo-hertz continuous-wave transmissions.)
,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
The next section of your post 'highlighted' is that which I wish to focus on:-
The combination of frequency domain and time domain in the Equinox is a very real (I don't pretend to understand it!!!!)
aspect of its Multi I (ferrous target processing) and Q (non-ferrous target) processing on the receive signal end of things. Really amazing...
Jeff, here I highlight an error in your post....Take note;- I Q technology;
[size=large]'I'[/size] relates to the
Immediateness part of the target's response; whereas
[size=large]'Q'[/size] relates to the
QUADRATURE (90 degrees of time-delay in the target's signal......Remember, we are dealing with TIME DOMAIN technology..(NOT VLF).

Just a personal note to you metalpopper, when you use bold fonts, bright colors and especially bold CAPITAL letters it feels like you are shouting at me. I personally don't like it very much and it makes it hard for me to objectively read your comments.
