Yes rain! I won't complain one bit about it, we'll take what we can get. And with all that we got, the ground was still dry/easy enough to dig around in yesterday. I found a bus token and some other object I posted earlier, and misc change. I did use this setup and the lag is a bit irritating but it will come in handy at parks and such. I HATE headphones, or at least the cord, but when reporters and such hear the beeping they have to come running and all but stand in the hole I'm trying to dig. (yes, 2 reporters in one week wanted to do a story.... been a bad week for crime stories I guess.) Anyway, it's not just the lag, but it's so slow it can't keep up with the machine. Say you put 3 pennys down a few inches apart, normally youd get the 3 burst machine gun effect. Now im lucky to get 2 beeps, eventually. I can't say it wasn't usefull. In fact, in some spots where I wanted to be very slow and thorough, it did fine. I did have to take the jack out a few times to get a better pinpoint, but not often.
I did get the same exact setup as was posted. I too wonder what is causing the lag... the dongle or the headphones. Or both...
There has to be a better way, more research to come...
