There are no random beeps as I demonstrate pointing the device sideways and the only beeps happen within the 5 feet square area frame.
I thought this site was perfect for the demonstration, tough I could not remain there much longer due to this being a private property and the security watcher was around. So I was in a hurry.
As you can see, the field emanations are strong causing the device's behavior resemble that of an ordinary MD.
I omitted the name and brand of device in the video as it's not my intention to turn this into a comercail advertisement. I even thought about editing this video with a black tag over the model logo, but it would take time and I decided to leave as it is.
Anyway, this is also a FG90 within a FG80 enclosure. It has a high/low gain switch toggle at the right side of panel.
Hope this helps guys.
PS. Sorry for the bad shooting. I had to hold the camera in my right hand and the device with my left one. So the view finder sometimes got on the way...
I had not the time to shoot it again for the reasons explained above.

OK - this is a lot better.
However, you have to admit that the consistency of the beeping leaves a lot to be desired. There appears to be more beeping in one particular spot, but what happens if you circle around the area? Does it still beep at the same place?
Unfortunately, unless you start digging, this is still an unproven treasure location.
