Next time you should use Auction Sniper -> www.auctionsniper.comOriginally posted by satdaveuk View Postis that the one that was on ebay the other day? i had a watch on one of those but missed it cause i was working, went for around £60
You get 3 free snipes (actual winning bids) before you have to pay anything. Then you load the account with a minimum of $5. If you win, it costs 25c. Nowadays I never bid in the traditional way. You can add a "Snipe it now!" button to your browser, which automatically extracts details of the item you're looking at in eBay, and adds them to your list.

Such and similar advertising-oriented reports are usually sweeter than reality.
In case of this particular Wilson this is not so necessary to be the truth but more likely it is the fair report with simple and true facts.
Somebody earlier posted several very nice photos of this Wilson, i think here on Geotech, although not sure.
I have those photos.
Was pretty interested and watched&analyzed them indeed much.
Wilson circuitry is not that impressive, yet it is fact that it does performs so well indeed.
So, considering all that, i am sure that Wilson's "secret" lays actually in very good tuned circuitry and probably even better tuned coil.
Whatever the truth is, i would really like to see it sometimes, test it and enjoy working with it.
If we had accurate schematic;i would made it long time ago.... maybe sometime in future!
Anyway, i do envy the owner on having such interesting vintage!

I dont have any information but I like the picture. In particular the description of the levels on the depth control.Originally posted by amtech2005 View PostHello Everyone.
It sure would be nice to collect any information on this older model that is no longer in production . Any clear PCB photos or a schematic would be great !! Very little is posted on the internet . Wonder what VLF frequency these ATD's ran at and is Wilson still in business ?
The last Wilson model I remember was the Coin-Select. Thank-You

Thanks Mark . I saw the website and it really does not have much information . It may be still active . It looks like they cater more to the European market and not the U.S. ?Originally posted by Altra View PostHi Eugene,
Try this, not sure if he is active anymore?

Getting back to topic of ATD . I really want to learn and study the functions of the multiple depth setting's and discrimination circuits of this design . How effective is it . I am still looking for any field test reports . It is a discontinued model that will be a great building and learning project .
Regards.............Eugene
