Well I awoke this morning at 3am to head to the beach. It was such a nice day yesterday so I thought I might have some luck and Low Tide is at 5:18am but alas it is raining so here I am reading the Forum <IMG SRC="/forums/images/smile.gif" BORDER=0 ALT="
"> Anyway as I was reading some of the new Posts about the Infinium and the talk about Iron Disc, pulse delay and signal decay a thought came to mind and as well as a question. Prior to the Infinium's release there was talk that the Infinium has audio ID that gives gold a different tone than iron. I also seem to remember reading that it was said that the Infinium gives iron the same tone as high conductivity targets such as coins. So being that it is very early in the morning here and my brain may or may not be working at full capacity a thought came to mind. Since gold has such a short decay rate making harder to detect and iron has such a long decay rate making it hard to reject without losing a lot of good targets in the process. Is it possible to design a PI's reciever circuits to monitor the decay rate of the signals and determine whether a target is iron or gold? Is it possible that is what is being done in the Infinium. If this is a possibility wouldn't also be possible to come up with a chart of decay rates of specific metals and program it into a PIC and in that way create an kind of Target ID PI? I don't know how signal strength would enter in to this scenario but as I said it is very early and the mind may be wandering a bit <IMG SRC="/forums/images/smile.gif" BORDER=0 ALT=""> <IMG SRC="/forums/images/smile.gif" BORDER=0 ALT=""> <IMG SRC="/forums/images/smile.gif" BORDER=0 ALT="">
Food for thought and have a Great Day everyone!!!!!
