want to use this with a metal detector. Does anyone have an idea of what the lag time is?

I don't know for sure but it's not much. You can contact the vender and they will respond.

Hey, no lag and I've connect all three at once before. One night I think I may have had interference though because the lights would jump to a random setting then reset to my dmx controller. For the price I think they do a good job though.

Geez.. depending on who sells it, that info varies. I did find one that seemed the most accurate. The timer can be set at 23 or 45 mins. Remember you'll find a lot of this info in just a few reviews. I always read the reviews. Imperative. Opal

The pinpointer has nothing to do with the main metal detector. It is used after you have dug up some soil and are sifting through looking for little stuff that you can't see right away. I separate my soil into piles and go over each with the main coil. Never needed a pinpointer, yet. Saw one (brand unknown) in use in some cruddy sandy soil that was giving a signal but couldn't see anything. It turned out to be a .22 bullet. Had to practically touch the bullet with the pinpointer probe to get a signal. Could have found it with a sifter (much cheaper).

HI! it only makes a sound over metal! =-) It is a really great little detector. In time my son (12 years ole and brilliant) LOL does want a more professional one that will actually filter out junk from the good stuff . Those are a few hundred dollars so that will be when he is much older. For now he LOVES this thing and when we bring it to the playground or beach he has a ton of little followers that are intrigued beyond belief. SO far my son has found an old belt buckle (1800's) old medicine bottle (again (1800's era) tons of coins. =-)

I've never done metal detecting, but this is a very tough shovel. I wonder if it's short length might make your digging more tiring if you dig for longer than about about a minute straight.

I just tested mine at 25 feet, there was no noticeable lag. Your battery will probably drain faster, however.

Yes it will Sally , It will detect any kind of metal and it would be very helpful if you had another platinum ring or a piece of platinum to see what numeric value the detector would read it as .

I ordered this unit, it was a piece of junk, sorry that you got one also. Perhaps donate it to Goodwill. I hate to say this but I found a very good timer at ACURITE.COM, it has magnetic base and works well.

I have experienced no delay. I use it to connect a Raspberry Pi's HDMI connector to a re-purposed vga display. Other factors can cause lag, typically the use of a USB hub.

Will not detect well or at all in wet saltwater sand or in saltwater, as it is too conductive. Highly mineralized ground or "black sand" as they call it may also give it fits as it does most metal detectors. You can't ground balance the unit properly to stop it from chirping away or "falsing" under these conditions. See my recent review. Hope this helps.....

I have never seen lag on this converter for the PS2 i use an HDMI cable for my PS2 Slim and never have any issuses with it

Looks like they are using a DS18B20 sensor, using onewire communication. Making it longer would eventuality effect communication but shouldn't effect the accuracy.

As I understand it, just scan down the breakers. It only worked accurately a quarter of the time. I didn't return it fast enough. So it's not even worth using. In my estimation.

If your metal detector has a 1/4 inch plug yes. If it does not, a 1/4in to 1/8in adapter is all you need to fix it!

Hello Nick, it has a discriminator mode that can cancel out different metals. No metal detector is 100% accurate, but I found the ACe 250 to do a decent job. Read some of the reviews of the buyers and watch the reviews on youtube .

I am sorry but I have been unable to test it because my reason for buying it is snow bound. I am assuming it would be very low because of the nature of solid state electronics. While waiting I could connect it up to a test circuit and measure it. You are correct, it must have some current in order to turn on. I am expecting it to be insignificant in my application.
