have trouble with the pinpoint button. One has to practically stand on mine to engage it and hold it down. If I was in the market for a new tector that problem alone would deter me from purchasing an MH. I don't know when Garrett and its engineers will see the light and install trigger operated pinpoints. Trouble is, most engineers are not engaged in the hobby so don't have a clue what the end user is up against, prefers, needs, wants, requires. All they know is that they are designing an electronic instrument that is supposed to find treasure. This is why the headphone jack often winds up in some dipso location. Every engineer that designs and builds detectors should be required to be an active user in the hobby. Same goes for the Yahoos that write the manuals, many of which seem to have been written by the Chinese. And detector manufacturers should take a poll of their customers to see what they need or require instead of assuming that they know better and know positively what the user wants and needs. That way we would have a much better selection of machines and machines that meet our needs. If I was a manufacturer I would build the units my customers wanted not what I thought they wanted or what I thought was best for them. There, that's my rant for the day. Care to chime in.

It is the way of the wonderful designer techs these days!
Here is an even better "tick off" the designer of our own vehicles! Why can't they make cars like they used to? Where you the owner can do the simple repairs. Like spark plug changes, oil filter changes, etc...you have to drop the damn motor to get to most of the rear spark plugs anymore or need a special tool to remove them and with oil filters they have placed them in most models where you literally have to take half the motor apart to do a simple chore...(my rant for the past 5 years or more).
