Strangely enough, apart from including the digital display in the same housing, this design resembles the suggestion I made in this tread, (as well as other earlier threads here on TNet):
http://forum.treasurenet.com/index.php/topic,264982.0.html

Most any digital multimeter connected to the analog display (meter) of any old metal detector, should give a digital numeric display, (at far less cost). Combining the innards of an older analog detector and a digital multimeter in a single housing, with a shared power source, would seem to be a no-brainer, but not a necessity.

Not that I care much about who said what when, but for those so inclined as to Do-It-Yourself and those with other brands of analog detectors who would like a digital readout, patching in a digital multimeter should be a reasonably simple thing to accomplish. Due to other commitments, I'm not going to be going out nugget shooting until sometime in July, or August this year, so I'm not pressed for time to modify my own detector, but I think I'll go for the full fledged modification of adding a graphical display using my old PDA and audio spectrum analysis software to the mix. I don't know if it will make my old Compass Magnum 420 into a nugget hunting killer of a metal detector, but hopefully, it will mean more time digging gold and less time digging everything that beeps.
