Now that we've settled the debate about Minelab posting the "match head sized nuggets at three feet" confusion (it's not Minelabs official ad--a web advertisers mistake) I think we can lay that to rest. To move on--it's nice to see you (Viper) sharing some of your experiences about detecting. I know from reading your post that you have much more detecting experience than I do (I accept what people say at face value--maybe that's a weakness--so I believe you.) and I also have worked material spread out by large equipment and have to agree that it definitely is much easier on the back.
A note about your comments on upgrading models of detectors: Where would we be with cars if the manufacturers didn't bring out new models as quickly as they do? Does it mean that the old models were junk or did it have something to do with advancing technology? (How did the Japanese car makers force North American manufacturers to change?) Think about how quickly computers become obsolete--were the old ones not properly tested? Were they inferior products? Maybe Minelab is rapidly learning some powerful things about detecting because they refuse to think like the North American manufacturers. My dad always told me stories about the development of car windshields that wouldn't shatter into sharp, jagged pieces (it was supposedly impossible) and about the competition between the armor makers who produced invincible armor in WW II, and then about the ammunition boys that had to develop projectiles to pierce their impregnable armor. How do new inventions come about? Answer: Need--and a refusal to think that nothing new can be developed. Perhaps Minelab thinks that way.
If you have any other detecting secrets or lessons--I'm exceptionally ready to listen. I find the exchange of information on this forum very valuable.
Sincerely,
Lanny in AB
