Metal detectors should be more advanced considering technology

I can usually tell what I'm digging. I have a nox and a v3i. The v eliminates most garbage, but the nox is a bit easier to use.

If the V3i had a beefier, faster processor, my V3i would be my choice. Today...the Equinox is it! For whatever reason, Whites staff keeps saying the processor is big enough. Well, their sales indicate different. Stubborness is foolish, especially in business.

I'll keep my V3i. It has some perfect applications in situations. It is just short in processing speed IMO.

I think the more important question is why humans themselves are not evolving.
Look at how advanced phones have become yet the people behind them are becoming more useless by the minute!

I've found more in the last decade than the previous decades before and I'M USING THE SAME DETECTOR FROM THE 1990'S!
This is despite the fact that there's more hunters and more "advanced" detectors out there.

Humans are just like deer....they stick to the same paths, hunting the same areas over and over again.
All it takes is someone who thinks outside the box and they will become successful.
This applies to everything in life!

Minelab xterra, Whites DFX, Notka Makro Simplex. Folks the price don’t mean everything, the question is are you willing to put in the time to learn the machine, experience will pay off I guarantee it.

Things are improved in increments, like cars, etc. they would go out of business if they maxed out, new changes come slowly keep in business, yes some don’t create new often, they understand the business or go out. Whites family I think others except Garrett to. Digging a foot isn’t rediculous, I do the work give me a machine that separates and goes deep I’d best as possible I’m not that lazy and bend down to see what’s there and I’m getting older so

CTX 3030, Sovereign GT, ETrac and other Minelabs can hit targets 12"+ with ease, done so many times.

Dynamite works better for fishing than any other lure or fishing pole that has been invented but I still don't use explosives for Walleye fishing.
