All the discussion around Manitcore and its characteristics over the span of target types, soil types, trash etc, made me think of a feature I would love to see in a new detector. "Target Replay" This would allow one to save the target screen and audio for replaying later - it could be used for training, comparison to other targets, sharing with others, diagnose issues, and plenty more. It would be great to have 10 or 20 replays available and select one to use. Both display and audio would be replayed in sync for the recorded duration. Only a few seconds (10, 15, configurable?) would be needed. What else should be on the wish list for new detector(dream machine) features not yet seen or conceived? A combined PI/VLF maybe?

First, thanks to all the contributors here that provide so much knowledge for this great hobby. I am curious about how much performance improvement can be achieved by software updates to the dectector. For example, if I have understood some of the posts here, the Manticore may not perform as well as hoped in hot ground, iron-rich environments, and perhaps not as sensitive to small gold as one might have expected coming from an Equinox platform. Does anyone have an idea of how much improvement to any of those concerns could be addressed just by updating the software? Or is it just the nature of the hardware and software might give a marginal-but-not-spectacular benefit? Thanks everyone! -Scott
