NEW DETECTOR IDEA

[Lafitte Deux]

I don't think I'd want a detector blabbing at me: "pull tab, can slaw, zincoln, pull tab, can slaw, zincoln, zincoln, tab,foil, tab, bottle cap, cap cap........"

hahahahaha, I thought just had a humorous idea and now it's turned into a mini series!!! Can you imagine those dudes on TV actually having to be honest about what they dig up because the detector yelled it it out live!!

Love the comments, keep em coming

I dig lots of iffy signals and seldom is it anything good....so I suppose it could be programmed to say: " it is probably something you don't want, but a gold ring has been known to masquerade as the signal I am detecting, therefore you would be prudent to go ahead and dig some of these until you are convinced that beaver tail pull tabs that are folded back over themselves are quite abundant in the immediate area....

I HATE those folded over pull tabs...they sound soooo good.

I don't want to start another post pertaining to a new invention of sorts but I had an idea of something I think.

I picture a device...square in nature... approx a 10 X 10 in screen, that you could hold over the ground. When you were looking at the screen you'd see only 2 colors of shading being used. A dark grayish one and a lighter grayish one. Meaning as you held the screen over the ground (say always within 1-3 inch of it), you could see the contents below the screen within the dirt. It would look like a type of x-ray looking image you'd see on the screen representing in mirror image form the contents it would see contained within the ground below it.
How would that work you say? Well if a person could take those properties that go within the ground from what the metal detector is given off and fine tune them into a pin point and then have hundreds of them below built into the screen... it could detect a metal variance and produce a black speck of it on the viewing side... so in theory the more of the "Pin points" you have, the finer the picture you'd see in the screen you're looking into on the top. It would probably be a couple of inches thick and a foot square. Then simply hold it over the ground and you'd see the shadow image of it on the other side your looking into.

~that would be cool.

cost ,,,, 12,000 dollars or more & don't forget the lead lined Clothes to prevent Over exposure.
Permits for using it in public places. etc.

Although I wouldn't want a detector that could see what was there before I dig unless I was looking
for a known cache or the place was wall to wall Targets, 1 inch apart, & even then I would want Full color HD Screen with Zoom, for picking out those Gold & silver colors, & Power Suction, So I wouldn't need to Dig
Maybe even a Bloodhound Coil to lead me to the Goodies,
Or detector that moves around itself, While I sit back & sun Myself
or it can find it's own way home after it is full.

If anyone did develop a detector that could anything like that, nobody could afford one, and they would not be for private ownership. So the government bureaucrats would beat us to anything that was valuable, so we would still be stuck digging up pulltabs and other junk. If nobody designs a detector with the ability to see in the ground maybe we still have a chance to find something good.

Well maybe it would go something like this.....


and do something like this...

I would want mine to sound like homer simpson....doh.doh.doh....ooooh!I would only need those two.

cheers

I like that, but unfortunately most people dont look that good!

Like a portable x ray...I could see that in the near future.
