What features would you like on your next detector?
The one feature I'd love to have is a feature that was
available years ago called "surface blanking"
This is where you could turn it on, and the blanker
would ignore all targets in the first 1 to 3 inch deep range.
I understand that it didn't work all that well back in the day, but
with today's technology I don't see why it could not be made to work.
Today depth meters are not accurate in inches, but they do a good job
of telling a shallow target from a deep one.
Sure you might miss a few good shallow oldies, but the trade off would be
almost all pull-tabs, bottle caps, zinc coins dropped in the last couple decades gone.
What features would you like to see?
RC Quadcopter Metal Detecting
I would luv a Wi-Fi ready detector w/GPS that I could take the control head and coil off of and mount on my rc quadcopter so I could comb a field while sipping iced tea from the shade of a big tree on hotter days.
The copter has the lift capacity to hang the coil down a few feet but still looking for a way to get the telemetry to my ground station.
I guess a 4wd rc truck would work well just not as much fun.
