Have Detector Companies Hit A Wall

I think we will see target ID on all PI's in the future, why leave it out when it can be so useful, I just don't get why it was left out so long when they were experimenting with it so long ago.

Because at the end of the day when chasing gold the only way to know for sure what the signal really is, is to dig it regardless of what numbers are telling you. That means digging all signals, like it has been for decades.

I guess Minelab is more concerned about the average user though.

Minelab is more concerned with how they can mine the miners to suck more money out of them.

Maybe. But is it up there in the same league with the GPX in finding gold? If finding gold is the game.

We really don't know yet, but you have to admit, the possibility of useful target ID is a step in the right direction, and this is only the first model out for algoforce.

Technology seems to be heading for smaller gold but deeper down. Is there enough small gold to make it pay for those chasing the money from gold found? Maybe. Bit of a catch 22. You got to be in the game to find out. There are some GPX 6000 users that think so. Involves a lot more effort & digging though.

Totally agree,

Probably why they have made every detector with different performance  standards that largely do not compromise the other models they make unless you buy there flagship model.
 

I still think Minelab is losing money by not putting new slightly improved models out. Especially now that the competitor's options on the market are getting pretty good and that aftermarket mods and coils are making the Minelab older models better also.

If Steve’s dream detector ever sees the light of day, we all better get to the gym to pump up ready to sweat it out digging those 3–4 foot holes ?

Minelab don’t need to release a new gold detector at this stage. People are buying 6000’s and buying lots of them, despite the price rise. If they produce a better or cheaper one, all it will do is pinch sales from themselves. Once the other manufacturers make inroads into their sales, that’s when they will act.
