From the land of the Bluenose.....just going over a few sites of dealers and such and got to thinking since the ground is frozen and we are butt deep in snow wit hcabin fever at an all time high. Ads stating deeper depth! Lord love a duck this has been a common cry since I got in the hobby over 30 years ago and if only a half inch per year deeper was achived I think we all would need a backhoe instead of a lesche tool or shovel.

So where are manufactures of these "wonderful' machines going to go next? Could it be the way of cars with more km between fill ups or all the techno stuff with personnal communications? Deep thought. Point being is.......is high tech going to take the joy out of the hobby.

Don't know about you bouys but the hunt and digging buds are everything and the finds but a meer by product. Think that knowing what each and every target is before you dig it would take away some of the allure of this great hobby.

To this day I still feel like a child on a grand adventure each and every time I grab the detector and head out. Once that feeling leaves............the little boy is gone!

I dunno, I think a handheld version of a ground penetrating radar would be a pretty cool evolution in detecting Need a few more years for that to be cost-effective though...

How about integration with a portable XRF unit so you can tell exactly what your finds are made of - but only after you've dug them up?

I'd have to agree that knowing exactly what the thing is would take some of the alure from it all. I guess I just wont get one of those machines when they come lol.
