[QUOTE="XLOOX, post: 617172, member: 16174"] I want a combined VLF & PI detector and I really don't see what the problem is ! I am thinking 2 completely separate detectors in the one unit so I can use the PI where I can but when I find a trashy area I can just flip to VLF, or if I just want more info about a target before digging. 1 shaft 1 round bit of plastic with a PI mono or DOD coil as the outer coil and DD VLF coil "concentric" to the PI coil. 1 ten core cable, or 2 standard cables if really need be 1 screen, 1 control box - 2 PCBs in the box. 1 power supply, 1 audio out Only one detector operational at a time but the offline detector is in hot standby ie; not transmitting but else live so can quickly flip detectors at the press of a button. Given the weight of modern VLFs & the 6000 this should all be totally doable in a very reasonable weight since the weight over 1 detector it is only the extra windings & PCB so like total 300g-400g more. Total manufacturing cost definitely wouldn't be 2x 1 detector. Probably 30-50% more. For Xmas? [/QUOTE]
