I think the thousands of people who view this forum should email Garrett and demand a new detector. If they came out with an innovative new machine

Would also be an alternitive, but I think using VDI numbers or similar easier another option would be to make more notches and then say i.e. 2-5 is [insert word here] category

For example as I think that is not really clear enough:
(we say 50 notches)

1-15 Iron
16-34 Nickel/gold/foil
35-45 Copper/small silver
46-50 Silver, big items

You get the idea?

Dahut that sounds interesting! I know some people who would be interested.:cheers:

I am constantly amazed at the amount of effort that goes into increasing the recovery speed of a detector and the constant call and requirement of the use of small coils eta. This is all done for one very simple reason: thinking hasn't changed one iota as to how to transmit and receive, then process that data. Are all detecting companies so inhibited in their thinking, that you can't get a detector to process more than one target under the coil at a time. Surely thinking should have moved well beyond this very limited and backward thinking. How hard is it to develop transmit and receive technology beyond this rudimentary stage and start developing a signal system that can process all metal object signals that pass under the coil, regardless of how many there may be under the coil at the same time. It's high time that the coils of today's detectors were put in a museum with the stone tools of our ancestors and bring detectors up to speed with the 21st century! Lets face it, the potential meter that is used of all discriminating detectors, was invented around the 1880's! Before electricity. It seems that we haven't progressed very far from there.

Well, Mick, VLF detectors don't really transmit and receive in the sense you mean. PI's sorta do, but VLF models are more properly referred to as "induction coupled."

That is, they create an electrostatic field around the coil. Then, a portion that field is coupled via induction into whatever metalic object enters the field.
This creates a phase shift, (time based) and that is then detected as a phase shifted response to the field frequency. This change in phase response to the field is what determines an items identification, as each metal gives a different phase response.

It is essentially the same doppler shift that makes a police radar detector function. As long as induction coupling is used in metal detectors, there can be little done about the number of items that appear within the field

I suspect any future 'quantum leaps', as you put it, will come in the realm of PI detectors.
 
I'm sure that this could be approached with a clean slate in mind. Yes I'm electronically ignorant, but I'm sure that if the motivation is there then a whole new detector technology could be developed.

:crazy:[size=large][/size] I'd like to have one with all the bells and whistles mentioned so far - also, a pack mule to tote it for me and a strong right arm to swing it - and- all this for under $5000 !!! :clapping: Wouldn't that be cool ? lol All kidding aside, there are a lot of good suggestions here for the really serious detectorist.

A GTI 2500 in the 1500/1350 housing with a really fast VSAT in all-metal and faster tracking. Also, boost the sensitivity and, since they can't seem to be able to make a small imaging coil, allow it to profile (GTP 1350) when not using the imaging coils. Also, boost the recovery speed so it doesn't signal when the coil is 5' past the target. Changing the case color to another one might be nice.. but not yellow. Also, the ability to disc. by size or depth when using the imaging coils. ..Willy.
 
How about a CD that you can download into your PC so you can sync info from your Detector.The detector could have built in GPS so it will tell you where and what it did for the day.Make adjustments on your PC then sync them to the MD lol It could do much more send email go on the net to do research....:rofl:
