What is hype? Basically its exaggerated claims made by manufactures to sell products. Hype works. It brings the buyers through the door. The link is for an advertisement for Whites DFX. You may remember it as “the detector that shows you whats in the ground before you dig it up.” It also claimed to pick up large objects 4 feet down. I own one and its my go to machine. A great machine even though I haven’t found anything 4 feet down. It does tell you whats in the ground. Its just more often wrong then right. But it does tell you.

And I think it was Ben Franklin who said "Nail two of anything together and someone will buy it".
