What would your future detector of your dreams be like?

Here's mine:

- Lightweight.
- Batteries inside modified upper rod assembly.
- A small control pad at the top of the handle (no screen).
- Wi-Fi headphones standard. Available audio jack for use with regular headphones.
- A high-definition monocular, or HUD (heads-up display), for the screen. You would always have the screen in front of you while swinging and it could show a whole PC screen's worth of data. The control pad on the handle would navigate the options on the HUD. No cables, no glancing at the display on a swinging detector. I think it would be great, but you'd have to test it to be sure.

How about a detector with only 4 buttons, marked GOLD-PLATINUM-SILVER-IRON. YOU COULD PUSH ONE OR ANY COMBINATION and that is all it would pickup!

Well...from someone that still hasn't bought a CD player because I'm waiting for the holographic version...

Why not a detector with a holographic display of what's in the ground?

If not, I'd be happy with one that could clone me so my clone could go to work so I could use my old fashion detector and actually get out and find something!

I'll settle for the "makes me invisible when I turn it on" feature like Jeff of Pa..........
my Tesoro Eldorado will take care of all the rest!

I'd be happy with a PI detector that can discriminate like a VLF.
