Going off of Ron's post.... but has coil technology hit a wall? What can be done with different windings? Different shapes? Computer chips. If we possibly don't see much newer detector technology, is new coil technology possible? What can be done on Monoloops? What can be done on DD's? What can be done on Concentric coils?? Will the Detector companies ever team up with X coils, Coiltek, Nuggetfinder and truly optimize coil improvements? Or should we put this wishful thinking aside and just be happy with what we already have?

Avantree Interested In Hearing From You
Sourdough Scott replied to Wiggins's topic in Detector Prospector Forum
I have to say that this is so awesome that a company is reaching out to a niche hobby such as metal detecting. 👏 I love using the Tourus on my minelab 6000, and 800. I also use them on my 7000 with a rx/TX adapter. I also use the Tourus all week at work as a carpenter listening to music and podcasts. I do tend wear the battery out fast at work because of the volume at full. I'm not really up to date on all of the latest technology mumbo-jumbo, so some layman's terms might help with some of the old dogs in this group. Again thanks for reaching out to out wonderful family of detecting fools. 😆- 74 replies

Xmas Weather Photo During Qld Aust. Cyclone
Sourdough Scott replied to geof_junk's topic in Detector Prospector Forum
I was sitting in my truck during a fishing trip when lightning and rain blew in. Lightning hit the large tree next to where I was parked. As the lightning came down the tree blowing bark off like crazy, when the lightning hit the ground it looked like a super large red Lazer beam. It only last a few seconds but was unforgettable. I still have a piece of the tree that was blown off as a keepsake.- 11 replies

So as a carpenter myself, I'm constantly using cordless drills, saws, etc daily. Charging and changing out batteries several times a day. Most of these tools run several hundred dollars each. And have never had a issue with the batteries or connection to the tool. Nor have I ever cleaned them. I have dirt, dust, sawdust, concrete dust. So you think when you buy a high end detector in the $6000 usd range, you wouldn't have these sort of issues.

I Saw The 5000 Up Grade Test

Lunk, this is something I want to know more about from you and anyone else that uses the extra deep mode. It seems to be the most forgotten and least used mode. -
GPZ 7000 Swing Control Arm
Sourdough Scott replied to Sourdough Scott's topic in Detector Prospector Forum
No disrespect meant to the dealers or Doc. The fix I did with the clear tubing worked perfectly. I had total control of the detector and no issues with the arm at all. I will not be buying another minelab GA10 ever again.
