Wishing Nokta Would Create A Modular Metal Detector Like The Legend With Plugin Upgrades!

There's only one new detector I want, and here's how it can be achieved:

The manufacturers lock all their engineers into a room, lock the door, and tell them they can't leave until they've come up with a detector that can differentiate between aluminum and gold ?

What you say Carl?

I would like a coil coverage sensor as well, but it isn't happening with GPS.  Not precise enough.  If you miss just a square cm of ground coverage then you've possibly missed a target.  GPS is never going to give you that level of precision. You need something like drone mounted LIDAR or some other precision optical sensor that is tied tied into a gyroscopic coil position sensor as well as GPS.  I envision something that feeds a pair of Augmented Reality glasses that enables you to peer out onto your site from any position or angle and shows you how much of the site has been "painted over" by one or more sweeping detector coils while the drone or whatever was monitoring them.

IMU units are precise enough to do this. And now optical AI analysis can augment the IMU, which opens up more doors, but probably more for prospecting than relics for that part. 

A while back I posted about wanting the IMU/augmented reality idea to be implemented and I found some ML patents that were very vague but which I interpreted to likely be something very similar to this. Wether they implement it or not, who knows. Probably cost us $12k though. But I do think it's coming on some detector or another eventually. 

*This can technically be done already BTW with a bit of Python programming, an IMU on the shaft, an RPI4 and a set of those Meta Rayban glasses. I bought a set of the cheap Chinese knockoffs and it never arrived, got my money back, and lost interest in trying for now.

I hope it's a detector that can distinguish between aluminum trash and gold jewelry! I know, I know. I'm dreaming ?

one day . just give it10 years.
