Right Wulf?
Youd think with Technology being so accurate and instantaneous now a days, a MFG would make a base rig that used the GPS/Cellphone/Google Earth network? Then, they would know right where you are hunting, the historical connotation to it, and just automatically download the appropriate settings to your rig the minute you get out of your car and fire it up!
Sort of like 'OnStar'? Only better?...With the base rig price and a yearly membership fee, with tutorials pinged to you though your headset...'Caution, coil speed too slow'...'Rescan the hole, dummy'...'drive 2.1 miles South on Elm, major sidewalk tearout in process'...'Lost ring just posted on CL 1.5 mile away, Rich Young Widows yard, cash reward' etc....
Weather radar too! 'Big hail storm approaching, 15 mins to hunt' Satellite imagery! "6 empty cans and an abandoned cooler at Wickham park by swingsets, Snickers bar under slides'...Security even! 'Drug addled reprobate approaching from your six', 40yds out, locked on to your position, evil intent with long criminal record, closing fast'...!
Preferably in a Males voice, like James Earl Jones'...I hate taking orders or getting directions from Women, or having them say 'recalculating' or 'missed exit' or 'Where the hell are you we are late for Church!'...etc..
Plus, with Biometric feedback through the hand grip, they could tell you when your sugar/caffiene/alcohol/nicotine balance is getting low and ping you a warning.."Caution, Caution!, proceed immediately to Tipseys Tavern, order a burger and beer!, smoke asap!, eat that snickers bar you found, and swig down the half can of Coke thats in the trashcan 24yds ESE of you over by the blue portashidders'..
I'd drink a half can of Coke out of a trashcan next to a portashidder if James Earl Jones told me to!.....Nobody has to tell me when to go to Tipseys for a burger and beer though, or eat a Snickers bar or smoke even, but then again, I'm old school, in tune so to speak, the youth now a days have to be told everything, and thats where the market is for a detector MFG !..
If JEJ told me when that hot young waitress's shift ends, and 'Onstars' her car so it wont start...that would be double plus good as well!...Muds here to save the day! Of course some modern factory supplied pick up lines would be an optional upgrade, I'm pretty sure the ones I know dont work anymore..."I like to climb trees and make fires, and you are as pretty as a dead standing cedar!!" (That one really got me some hot Mongolian sweetness during the yearly Mammoth hunt!) Or, better yet, "You have beautiful brown eyes, like a wet peat bog at sunup, or a baby seals!"..."Is that Yak butter on your lips, or are you just happy to see me?" Use them if you want...I'm sure a member of the Fisher Onstar system will get appropriate and up to date lines...like: "Wanna see my Indian pennys?" Or, "I make 6 figures!, well, 5 after taxes actually"
