L-Cadillac-59.jpg Really cool tail fins!
Seriously, I'm thinking of having a buddy do a real good low rider paint job on my old Silver Eagle.

A backlight on the screen for super bright sunny days or when it gets too dark to see. Monty

I was thinking about depth disc just the other day. I guess I'm not gonna cash in on that idea now lol. It would be really cool I'm certain areas.
I wish my AT Pro had a backlit screen and a clock.

With all the tsunami debris headed for the west coast I would like to have a Geiger Counter mode to check for radiation before I dig! :laughing7:

Ignoring the top layer of coins won't help us out all here in the S.F Bay Area, especially hunting in the San Francisco parks. Our gopher infestation has brought up hundreds if not thousands of silver coins. I've had numerous seated, barber, and merc coins that were only 1 or 2 inches deep.
I'd be feeding those gophers! Breed and populate, and bring up the silver!

I like the ideas of a clock and an estimated battery life indicator. Also I wouldn't mind if I could load MP3's or play a radio from my detector. Good ideas.

Well, my XLT has an accurate battery voltage readout when I turn it on so I Background-2.jpg know the amount of time it will hold out.
What I would like to see is a strobe that flashes when you hit a good target. I am working on that now. It would allow you to watch the ground while scanning, but get instant notification of a good targer.
