Nice looking detector and I put together easy.
Turned it on and waved the coin in front of the coil with no response, turned it off to see if the cable was connected to the control box and it was, but took it off and tried connecting it again and it worked. Seem like you have to get it connected just right. Tried some different setting and different programs and seen the Relic is different than the MXT I have for my wife as this is what we run for coin hunting, so I will have to use the coin mode when we hunt. Did some indoor test quick like to see how thing will read and sound like and have a few thing I will have to check out further, but the coins really seem to lock on good. Next the test I do with all my detectors just to see how they will handle iron close to coins as I use my bar floor that is full of nails and try different targets on top of the floor and it seem to work good with all the iron. The one test I do is find a real solid and bigger signal in all metal pinpoint and put a quarter on top of this spot to see if I can pick it up. Did a excellent job at picking it up and IDing it too as a quarter and bouncing to a dime reading. Tried it with a dime and it picked it up with a different tone and ID, but it is to be expected with a small target on top of a larger iron target.
Got to read the owners manual more as the iron volume seems to work better off and get signals on everything metal, just a low tone on the ferrous.
I seen there is 2 clips that came with it called the coil cable clips, but dont have any idea what they are and how you would use them as there is not mention in the manual.
I can see it is not going to be as easy to use as the MXT and it will take more time to get to know it, but it has some good possibility, just wish it wont be for several months before I can get outside with it.
One thing I notice with my bad hearing and trying all the different headphone the audio is weak like it is with my Nokta Impact, so have a headphone amp ordered to try. Also for me in the 20 tones the dime sounds higher pitch than the quarter, but my son tells me he hears a big difference, so I wish I could just get some new ears.
