Let's Build The Perfect Garrett Metal Detector :clapping:

[jimmyjiver]

Hi,, Perhaps if we give the Garrett Company some of our ideas they may use some of our design ideas in their next machine....I will start it out with no certain order of importance to me.....Here's my ideas for a perfect Garrett metal detector.....JJ

#1..Let's change the ergonomics and make it like brand x with the best ergonomics.

#2 Keep the AT Pro platform but get rid of the standard mode.

#3 Let's put an adjustable threshold in the discrimination mode like the old Garrett's.

#4 Use a standard toggle switch for pinpoint.

#5 Use standard audio and coil jacks and forget the waterproof ideal.

#6 Definitely keep the modulated audio.

#7 A bigger numerical lighted screen would be a plus.

#8 Put an adjustable low tone (iron) volume control on it.

#9 Keep the all metal no motion de-tuneable pinpoint.

#10 Lose the out dated square dots.

#11 Keep the black color scheme.

#12 More controllable notch segments would be nice.

Here are my thoughts...


#1..Let's change the ergonomics and make it like brand x with the best ergonomics. I hate S Rods.

#2 Keep the AT Pro platform but get rid of the standard mode. I never use it myself.

#3 Let's put an adjustable threshold in the discrimination mode like the old Garrett's. I like silent search, but I know others like the threshold.

#4 Use a standard toggle switch for pinpoint. YES YES and YES!

#5 Use standard audio and coil jacks and forget the waterproof ideal. Keep the waterproof connectors.

#6 Definitely keep the modulated audio YUPPERS.

#7 A bigger numerical lighted screen would be a plus. MAke the screen ANti-Glare!!! Add a clock...backlight is always a plus...

#8 Put an adjustable low tone (iron) volume control on it. Put a volume control on it period...

#9 Keep the all metal no motion de-tuneable pinpoint. Ratcheting pinpoint is good...

#10 Lose the out dated square dots. Icons would be nice...

#11 Keep the black color scheme....I LIKE Black!

#12 More controllable notch segments would be nice....Yes...I want to notch out just a few numbers, not a whole block...

#13 More Power Scotty!!! Use 9V batteries (2 of them)


HH,

Just mount a Pro Pointer on a stick

LOL...Might be the best suggestion yet...lol

I believe if they lower the freq a bit, us coin shooters would do better. A little bit lighter would be good.

 

[jimmyjiver]

Hi,,, I believe you are correct a little lower frequency probably would get down a little deeper on silver etc.....JJ
