No electronics engineer or scientist has ever heard of forward gauss. It does not exist. This is only a word made by the manufacturer to make it sound like it is new technology. Also, I do not believe you will find multiplexing circuits inside this detector like the manufacturer claims. But I don't know for sure.
I would not spend money for this detector unless you see it finds hidden treasures first. The other detectors built by VR Electornics are believed to fail for finding treasure. Even Dell Winders said "...operating conditions deteriorated affecting the reliability of the instrument making it impractical for my use in 1988".
You can read more about the Magnacast 5000 here, where Dell Winders posts false information and tries to hide the truth about forward Gauss: http://www.geotech1.com/forums/showthread.php?t=13089

This is what I thought to be J_P.The rest of their detectors have nothing special to show.
Of course the same thing applies here.Try it yourself to get knowing the truth, as always.
