This.
They can update when they get a way to distinguish gold from aluminum. Right, Tom?
bklein said:I wonder if they could do something to make it perform better on thin chains and small gold - like nuggets. It does very well on anything that is a ring, just loses it on nuggets and thin chains. Something like the prospect mode on the equinox would be worthwhile.

I would imagine that through the process of designing the Multi IQ platform that the engineers are cooking up the next Minelab flagship based on that particular technology. I would say that will be the replacement for the CTX, and that there will not be any more updates to it. That's just my uneducated redneck-ology guess.
Capreo said:Here's a great update that many of us would appreciate and I imagine wouldn't be that difficult for minelab engineers.....The ability to control the volume in the different bins, like the equinox. I'd love to be able to lower the volume of the bins i have set for iron and aluminum foil, as i tend to hunt open screen. Everything at the same volume level is somewhat annoying
A more difficult update that I'm sure is beyond abilities of current technology is the ability to eliminate iron falsing. How nice would it be to dig that very faint 10" signal and have it actually be a coin, rather than a small piece of rusted iron.
Perhaps one day!?
And while unfortunate, I agree with others folks that at this point , ML folks aren't even thinking about a firmware update to a detector released over 7 years ago.
