  • Price $1000+

    • Wasn’t it announced to be less than that? Or was that rumor?

      • $1000 is expected price. The retailers are very greedy they
        like to pump up price when demand is great!
        Let us hope that price will not be much more than $1000!

  • I am curious to see what kind of sealing there was between the guts and the control pod.

  • Who is EMC?

    • Not who, but what?
      EMC = ElectroMagneticCompatibility Technologies –
      this is company that makes EMC tests of different electronic
      devices. They measure the level of elecromagnetic noise
      produced by electronic devices according to FCC rules.

  • Memory card slots are used during development stages in order to upload new firmwares as quick as possible. After final release they are usually removed from the PCB.

  • I just bought the 600, and from looking (and designing) PCB/gear, I wouldn’t be surprised at all to find a single resistor that shunts the two between 600/800. Although Minelab has definitely been in the protecting their IP for a long time… so I’d expect quite a bit more difficult. Who knows.

    Do you know who has the high res photos of the 800? I’d love to spend some time (Well, not really) pouring over the differences.

  • Interesting video. Answers a lot of questions.
    I have one more question, as I could not tell from video and photos.
    Does it look like the headphone jack is a ‘sealed’ unit and cannot leak water?

  • Was the cut through a seal or through the plastic of the housing? Is it clear to anyone how it was assembled and poosibly how to open it non-destructive?

    • Two halves of the box are connected using ultrasonic welding so there is no
      sealing ring inside. To open the box you have to cut plastic.
