Perhaps a waterproof detector with 15 frequency's and 1000 tones that only weighs 1 ounce and costs $100.
(Made in China of course)
So sensitive it will detect the abandoned lunar lander module by pointing the coil at the moon.

The only concrete information is that a PI machine for the beach is being developed and will be released when its ready.
Other than that, Tim Mallory - head of Marketing has said that several completely new models are under development and will be released as they are released to production. Didn’t sound like he meant this year.

If I believed everything I heard over the years.... 
Something is ALWAYS in the 'works.'
What the engrs need http://www.nootropic.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/best-nootropic-stack.jpg
Question: It took 20,000 workers to build the Taj Mahal in 20 years.
How many workers would be required to build it in 10 years?

Gee, do they get to eat and sleep?
Eat, yes
Sleep, sometimes
Bust their buns working on new stuff - heck yes.
Seriously, of the “traditional” metal detector manufacturers out there - only Minelab and First Texas are showing signs of developing anything new,
Europe is a different story with Turkey, Bulgaria’s and Russia hard at it - XP in France - well - we’ll see.

They have new metal detector ( F75++++++++++++) ha
New beach PI - soon (maybe not real soon)
New singlefreaker models with waterproof and wireless phones - an obvious move.
Completely new multifreaker platforms - they have said that these are under development.
When........Nobody who says that they know actually knows. Nobody who knows is saying anything.
They have a reputation for not pre-announcing things. The “Manta” PI was an exception.
The stuff about the Mosca and the CZX was a marketing roadmap briefing for distributors which one of the attendees leaked. Given how long it has been since that happened, I’d guess that as development moved on, things changed. What will finally emerge???

Face the facts folks. Any “new” detectors that come out are using the same tired old technologies.
They just add more bells and whistles and want you to believe it is the greatest out there.
I use the AT Pro for the water and land and a F75 for land.
I won’t buy any more detectors until some one develops one that can absolutely tell the
difference between bottle caps and coins. Never falses on iron and nails. And knows the
difference between pull tabs and gold. The last one would be good if it was at least 50 percent
accurate on gold instead of zero percent as exists now.
Sure go spend 3 or 4 thousand on the latest and the “greatest” detectors only to discover you
paid a lot for the latest bells and whistles.

I somewhat agree with ramer, to a degree. I don't believe there is much advancement left within the VLF Induction Balance technology, but I wouldn't characterize it in such stark terms.
I firmly believe that Pulse Induction technology holds the most hope for ID'ing specific metal types, rather than just a conductive range. I applaud First Texas for making it's serious commitment to it's research in that area!
As to it's lack of newly named detectors over the last several years, so be it. While other brands have put many "new" detectors to market, they haven't really produced any ground breaking results performance wise IMO, only very marginal benefits. While First Texas has only made upgrades to some of their machines, those upgrades have provided meaningful changes in their operationiol performance. I don't necessarily need a new name as long as there is advances! It's funny, with all the "new" detectors on the market, they are still compared performance wise to the F75! After all these yrs. with updated features it is still one of the top performing detectors available. Once again, IMO.
I for one, have taken advantage of the upgrades to the F75 and G2 (+), along with their significant price drops and purchased both over the last several yrs. I'm in a comfortable place now with the detectors I have, and have no sense of urgent need of a new detector, UNTIL such time as new grounbreaking technology comes to market. Until then, I can wait patiently with what I have, I'll make no jokes, or be cynically critical of First Texas for not bringing me a new detector soon enough. When what they are developing is ready, It'll be here. I'll wait till then to make any judgement.
