Sorry. Just couldn't help it after getting tricked myself. You see, I too had forgot what day it was when I saw the subject header of a post in the main forum about great finds hunting a cemetery. I was all ready to rip this guy a new one when he said it was an April Fools joke. I think they call it that for a good reason, because we all manage to forget what day it is just about every year and get fooled by somebody.One year my mom was throwing rocks at a bird that was dive bombing a squirrel in the tree in her front yard. At the time she had a nosey neighbor across the street that was eager to stick her nose into every body's business. I called my mom using a different voice and told her that I was an APL advocate and that we had received a complaint of animal abuse from that neighbor, so we were taking her to court. She about went through the roof, saying something like wait until I get my hands on that lady! Couldn't stop laughing for hours after that. My mom is the most peaceful person you ever met but I swear she was ready to march across the street and do some damage.
Minelab should put him on the payroll and make this stinking thing already! With the low R&D involved since you'd be pretty much using the same GT motherboard with perhaps a few minor tweaks (a remote PP switch for instance is nothing but jumpering to the existing mode switch the GT already has...I put one on my GT and it's fantastic), and say adding the ability to throw a waterproof meter between the coil and the machine like we can do now with regular meters, you'd be giving people even more incentive- keep the meter on in the water for kicks, or take it off for less drag in the water, and of course to throw it on for land hunting. How much more "versatile" can you get here in a low hassle land/water dual purpose unit?
