I want to use a smart phone or tablet as the "brain".

I want differential gps. (set a datum point - then detect)

I want MIR (micro impulse radar) chips, in an array, possibly in conjunction with traditional coils.

I want wireless coil to "brain" technology.

I want some good software.

It's too bad - back in the day - no one listened.

They're still not!

Investors wanted for a new company. ;)

I want a detector that has a force field out to a 10-foot radius, and possibly a cloaking device.

Get a Deus, CTX 3030, leave them both in a room. Dim the lights, leave a bottle of wine open on the table, and put on some Barry White. Don't know what the gestation period is, nor who the mother would be, but soon enough you'd have what you're looking for :)

Then do the same with a V3i and a CZ-21.

THEN take their offspring and have them mate and THEN the detector made from all that would be mind-blowing. Maybe. I still say a death ray would come in handy.

Good God, you would have to feed it Prozac instead of batteries!

Just make it so you can update the software/firmware so it can have the latest features, forget the gestation, period and drink the wine yourself. Lol!

That's a pretty good point, Slingshot. Who really needs all of the electronic gizmos anyway? :dontknow:

If a company could make a waterproof, rugged, simple machine like a Tesoro Vaquero (without the sissy color), add a quality set of CORDLESS headphones, and make it a super-deep ground-pounder, then I think we'd have a universal winner.

I want a machine that gets depth to about a foot, and has flawless VDI, One that correctly calls the target and depth every time. But then I guess we would have to change from being treasure hunters to treasure finders.
