Bluetooth also allows connection with smartphones' Minelab apps....should be exciting.
Wait to find out how it performs in the wet sand. Don't forget, it's half way to an atpro price wise. Atpro is waterproof!

But arent the only people have had their hands on one either employed by minelab or selling their detectors? the video means squat but you have no problem being impressed with what you hear from biased reports?
First of all, most testers are NOT employed by Minelab, nor are they dealers. They receive NO compensation for their time.But arent the only people have had their hands on one either employed by minelab or selling their detectors? the video means squat but you have no problem being impressed with what you hear from biased reports?

And beyond that you should read what I wrote, which was that "I'll reserve judgment", and "the people that have actually used them were impressed".

I'm not even going to try to change a mind that's already made up with no understanding of how the process works.I dont buy that for one second...if nothing else, they are at least getting the machine for free. That IS a form of compensation. I would also say it might be heard for them to say anything negative with the fear they might not get picked to get a FREE test unit the next go around...

The simple fact is, that a tester would be far less likely to be chosen again if they whitewash a report allowing Minelab to put a turkey on the market. And bashing a machine that you know nothing about, two months before it's release, paints a clearer picture of you than the machine.
If you don't like it, don't buy one. I will, and I'll do my own evaluation, as will many others that don't harbor pre-conceived notions.
