Here is a little trick I learned from Kevin Hoagland the Minelab rep in a recent seminar held at the GPAA gold show in Dayton Ohio.

Believe it or not, some people do not hear certain frequencies emitted by their metal detector and are missing out on valuable finds!

If you are not hearing the higher frequency sounds emitted from your MD you can adjust the pitch on this device to a lower frequency that you can hear just by adding more bass and less treble to the signal!

This works like a charm even if you have perfect hearing. I experimented with this device and was able to easily hear even the faintest signals due to the 10db volume gain.

With it you can easily fine tune the sound to fit your personal hearing needs.
It is a 3 band equalizer that fits between your detector and your headphones. I ordered
mine from the koss.com website for $19.95

EQ50_1.jpg

With a 10dB boost or -10dB cut range of level, the EQ50 features a 3-band equalizer that allows for convenient and individual bass, midrange and treble adjustment, for a customized listening experience.

Power output is greater than 20mW per channel, providing clean undistorted output into your favorite stereophones. Ergonomically designed for easy handling, a rotary volume control and on/off switch are placed for convenient usage.

Hope this helps.

Buddy~

Me too. I have some high frequency hearing loss years of neglect in the military. Also, old age doesn't help :D

It comes with a cord with 1/8" jacks so I had to buy 1/8" to 1/4" adapters at radio shack.

here is the Koss link: http://www.koss.com/koss/kossweb.nsf/p?openform&pc^ac^EQ50

For some reason you will have to copy then paste the link to get it all. :icon_scratch:

According to Kevin Hoagland of minelab this device will help and it's only $19.95 so you wouldn't be out much to give it a try. here is Kevin's contact Info: http://www.treasurenet.com/links/html/10c5.htm
