Now that would be simply amazing!

It's totally doable, and IMHO it would be a HUGE hit (not to mention an awesome competitive differentiator) 👍

Hello  all.... I am way too busy to go through each and every comment.

Can somebody summarize what is expected?

Dilek,

If NM is able to come out with an inline pin pointer that uses the discrimination settings setup in the control until of the detector I will immediately buy 2 complete detector+pin pointer setups, as will many others.  

Sunray used to produce that type of unit and was popular with Explorers and ETracs.

Can you expand on the inline part? You mean you attach the pinpointer to the device?

This is what Sun ray has produced (although I think current stock is the last; no longer made?)  It basically Tees a probe and the standard coil so you operate with one or the other by throwing a switch.

Personally I wasn't a big fan but a lot of people were/are.  As far as if this is exactly what people here are requesting..., they need to clarify that.

Yes.

Essentially the pin pointer becomes a tiny coil and uses the detector settings.

Hi Dilek,

SunRay made a pinpointer probe that went inline with the coil.  The detectors coil wires attached to a breakout box, and the operator would flip a switch on the box that would toggle between the detectors coil and the pinpointer probe, which is effectively a small coil.   This inline probe would operate just like a detector coil, any settings on the detector would also apply to the pinpointer probe. For example, the audio from the detector, so if you're running the probe in the hole to locate the target, the pinpointer would give iron tones on nails and other iron in the hole, but say there's a silver coin in the hole, the detector would sound off on it producing a high tone as appropriate and the corresponding target ID on the display screen.  This makes it a lot easier to locate and retrieve the desired target versus iron and other potential junk in the hole.  SunRay probes were immensely popular, and still command a high price in the used market for the Minelab Explorer, Etrac, etc. detectors.

A probe that had this capability would be a HUGE hit, and it would be a great competitive differentiator as no other vendor is currently building a wireless inline probe. 

Happy to discuss it via phone if you want more insight.

Exactly, except in this case it would be wireless.  The original SunRay probes were attached to the coil wire on the detector via a breakout box with a toggle switch that could switch between the detector coil and the inline probe.

Dilek,

 Please ask if the volume adjustments could be improved. The overall detector volume, tone volume and especially the Threshold volume go from too little to too much with no real mid levels. This is with V1.04. I realize V1.05 addressed Goldfield threshold but Park, Field & Beach need attention also. For example, the Threshold volume @9 is very soft/intermittent. At 11 it is too loud to use.

A VCO option for all tone selections would be very useful. At least on 2 tone like the Anfibio.

A mineralization readout would also be very helpful to better adjust for difficult soil conditions.

Thank you for your commitment to improving a great detector.
