audioboost feature on new detectors.

[seeker41]

would any of you guys like to see audioboost as an feature/option on any future detectors?
please check out my post on american relic hunters forum and reply.
here is part of the thread going on over there...

thank you for expressing interest in this!!

exactly my thinking! i personally do not want to have to strain to listen for the good(deep) targets. i want the target to jump out and say, "you better dig me" the thought of having all signals report at an equal audio level(as an option?) and utilizing the depth meter to determine depth seems completely logical!

how about this, the detector would give a loud audio report on deep targets, weaker report on mid depth and weakest report on the shallowest target?

or maybe a detectorist could select "old coins" or "jewelry" and only that target would give an obviously louder report. you would still here all other targets but your selected target would be obviously marked amidst all the unwanted/unselected targets.

well, I'm kinda thinking/writing out loud so forgive me if i did not make sense.
i guess my dream detector would be an f75 with an audio boost feature. or audio features as i have described.

ya want it to dig find for ya also?I prefer hunting with a detector that doesn't have all that meter stuff-which will deceive ya- any way.I can tell how deep target is with the use of a pistol probe-after getting a tone I scan the spot-knowing pistol probe is good for about 6" depth-if it doesn't sound off I know its a deep target. .simply using the right tool for the job-you can keep those high end detectors with all those unnecessary bells/whistles.besides detectings not a race go slow and enjoy time out side away from all lifes distractions.

Well, I've got some good news for you.
There are already detectors on the market with audioboost. XP Goldmaxx Power V4, XP DEUS and probably more... why, maybe even the F75LTD Boost process uses it
A depthmeter is not always correct, it is only optimized for a certain coinsize.
