would you like to see the audioboost feature brought back?

[seeker41]

would any of you guys like to see audioboost as an feature/option on any future detectors?
please check out my post on american relic hunters forum and reply.
here is part of the thread going on over there...

thank you for expressing interest in this!!

" Generally, older targets are deeper. Why would I want to risk missing these older deeper targets? Some say, they want to use audio to distinguish between shallow and deeper targets, that's fine, but the depth gauge can do that"...

exactly my thinking! i personally do not want to have to strain to listen for the good(deep) targets. i want the target to jump out and say, "you better dig me" the thought of having all signals report at an equal audio level(as an option?) and utilizing the depth meter to determine depth seems completely logical!

how about this, the detector would give a loud audio report on deep targets, weaker report on mid depth and weakest report on the shallowest target?

or maybe a detectorist could select "old coins" or "jewelry" and only that target would give an obviously louder report. you would still here all other targets but your selected target would be obviously marked amidst all the unwanted/unselected targets.

well, I'm kinda thinking/writing out loud so forgive me if i did not make sense.
i guess my dream detector would be an f75 with an audio boost feature. or audio features as i have described.

I really don't under stand ..A lot of detectors have audio boost on them...and if they dont you can always buy something like a depth master to put on them.. So just buy something like a depth master and put on your detector.. no big problem.

what detectors have audioboost other than the fisher czs??

 

[kando]

Well my Minelab GT 16000 had it on it and my Minelab Eureka Gold has it on it and for my others i have a depth master plain and a set of phones with depth master built in..

My CZ's have an audio boost and some times it comes in handy. With the use of a Depth Master this boosts the audio signals from any detector that puts out a weak signal below a certain point. Can be used with any detector that uses plug in head phones. It doesn't just amplify all the sounds.

yes that is the type of audioboost i am talking about. i also have a cz20 and i love the tones and i allways hunt in the audioboost mode!!!!!
i would love to see the new detectors such as the f75 have the audioboost option. i will probably try the depthmaster.

Well the audioboost is better than the depth master and i would like to see more of it . But the depth master is the next best thing to it. It is that i hate to carry extra things and hook up to my detector i don't even like head phones. What is nice about the boost is all you have to do is hit a switch I had the audioboost on my Minelab back in 1993.....

where did I see that depthmaster does not work with White's or garrett's?
