Bluetooth capable

[dustywallen]

Okay this maybe we out there. Was wondering if there was a way to make a metal detector Bluetooth capable? Would be neat to use a wireless headset

I was actually looking into this yesterday. google "Bluetooth Music Transmitter" and you will find what you need. Then mate it up with a pair of "blueant pump earbuds", they are bluetooth and waterproof. Now I have not tried this setup out but plan to in the future. I am still in the research before I buy phase.

most people find BT causes significant delay.. i.e. you swing left and start back right and then it beeps.. where is it left of right.. .. BT = Bad..
I have read the V3 BT does better in the area..
FM be it the commercial band or 900MHz works without delay..

I think a quality blue tooth setup would work. The V3i has absolutely no delay but it is also a proprietary BT setup.

Very interesting topic!

Well after some research apparently I am not the first to think of this.

I have tried the Fm transmitter a few years ago, it worked pretty well except I had bought a very cheap one that didn't have a strong enough signal for my head phones, so get a decent one.

On the plus side though, my headphones were Am, Fm and external input and had microphones for hearing things around you. ( which I really liked).

Good luck!
