I didn't realize that GB was disabled. So I guess I am asking them to get better ground balancing ? Seriously, coin / relic goes real deep for me on the beach. I would love that same depth in the woods when I do my metal detecting survey of old 17th century villages.

I'd be curious to know the source of this information (GB disabled)?

That's not what the EQX manual states, it says it's constantly receiving ground feedback with M-IQ to adjust for ground conditions.  For me, that's worked so well that I rarely do a ground balance, except for the most mineralized ground.

That was when I was talking about the GPX 5000. I think it was Simon that said the GPX ground balance is disabled when using Coin/Relic, so when I was ground balancing, I wasn't really doing anything ?

Okay, thought you guys were talking about the EQX, not the GPX, threw me for a loop.  All good ?

A transporter button right next to and integrated into the pinpointer that brings the buried item to the surface without digging.

The vastly higher tech would also enhance the rest of the detector functions .......

Like anti-gravity coils to auto balance whatever detector it's mounted to. With a detachable Hover Coil option that turns any machine into a joystick operated metal finder you can use from camp , It would also work underwater.

An injectable nano headphone device would instantly dinosaur all previous HP tech.

And an anti gravity back device so you can fly away.

Better use could be made of the situation where the machine is powered up with the coil disconnected.
It's good that the battery strength bar-graph functions in this 'mode' , I frequently check on state-of-charge, and appreciate not having to plug in the coil just to do this. So I think that the '88' display could usefully display more detailed battery info, such as the actual voltage: '40' == 4.0 Volts , or a 1->10 indicator.

In addition, it would be convenient to see what firmware version is in the machine, and the 88 display could usefully provide this info in this 'no coil' mode. Possibly in a 'code' form, the lack of decimal point makes displaying 1.3.2 etc troublesome.
