Cache Hunting with "new" Technology

[landman]

Has anyone given thought as to what some of the new detectors can do to
help us "see beneath the soil" so to speak. Such as the Nokta Gold King,
Lorenz Deepmax Z1 or the GPR's at OKM.

For instance the Deep max and the Nokta have a type of 3D visuals
that can be examined. It gives the impression of a GPR read out.

For me what I would want in a cache hunting machine is depth, coverage and
no interference from small surface objects.
Also what would be bonus is something like the GTI 2500 that shares
relative size and conductivity.

Any thoughts or new machines or technologies I left out?

The question I would ask is do you really need all those bells and whistles?
I have a 2 Box Hays that will go over 6' and will ignore small junk targets.
It has earned it's keep. It is old and I picked it up for about $250 used.
I have never seen a cache over 2' deep. Now I am not looking for some Japanese gold on an island or for some long lost civilization so my setup is good enough for 90% of the cache hunters out there. So why blow the big bucks on gingerbread? Frank...

I like your style Frank.
Tell me, regarding your 2 box.
Do you use it in large open fields or even in a yard when
looking for say a jar of coins?

If you are looking for larger objects at 2-4 feet...just get the fisher f75..... why spend twice as much for the same job

I have used it in open fields using a grid system. I have used it along split rail and stone fences. It pickes up sideways out to 6' or so. You have to stay about 8 or so feet away from chain link fencing. It ignores junk up to about softball size.
I prefer the true 2 Box type, that is with separate transmitter box and receiver box.

Hay, I had trouble posting that coin. I kept hitting the enter key and nothing happened, then all of a sudden, It looked like I hit the jackpot at Sams. lol Frank...
To be honest, I would use one of my whites detectors for a jar coin cache.

Interesting video on the Lorenz Z1 and X5 and 6 :
