[QUOTE="AngerManagement, post: 115623, member: 3760"] About the same $ as a CTX3030 and maybe not too much smaller :-) 1: Light sensor, easy to implement... Impacts on water Ingress 2: Led Colour / flash rate to emulate the Alarm ratchet feature - Could be implemented. 3: Replaceable tip/casing - could be done. Once you start getting into changeable frequencies, xrf , GPS and Bluetooth the circuit board starts to get large and the power consumption goes up. let alone the complexity of the board and the coil. Add in the setting changes re flash rate / colour and you up for even more button pushing = more frustrating.. There is NO one size fits all... I would like two; one for dry work but highly water resistant AND one for use when submerged.. OH and if you want sub gram gold, the that's another model. Now they can make small boards and have all those features BUT unless you have a market base the size of the mobile phone market; then research / development and manufacturing is going to be expensive... And the more complicated, the more things can go wrong.. What you need is a smart phone app kit. [b]Micro USB to a pin pointer coil from the phone [/b] AND use the app to do what you want... Plenty of water proof/rugged with LED / Flash rates / GPS / Phone home / Rechargeable and even take a pic on the fly and FB / upload as you go. Lcd screen and you could even have graphics... Just get a small cheaper detector and a 2" (50mm) sniper coil. [/QUOTE]
