Iron vs aluminun

All these new machines are great. I love it. Always on the prowl for the next best detector. Compared to detectors I've used through the past 40 years the ones I've used of late are light years ahead of the good ole days. Unmasking, separating ferrous from non ferrous, maybe depth, but I think that's reached the max on these vlf machines, is just wonderful. But ya know guys. It's a fact that our biggest pain in the hind end nowadays is aluminum. Years and years of folks throwing this trash on top of relic sites, parks, etc. where coin hunters frequent, are plagued with this trash. Don't get me wrong guys, I appreciate all that the manufacturers do and have done to offer us these great machines. But for me at this point I believe I'll just keep what I've got, which is a T2 SE/ dst and T2 Classic, until they're able to somehow come up with a detector which will identify aluminum as iron without affecting the good stuff, if that's how we wish to set up the machine. Do you folks ever think of this or is that technology you think too improbable

To be able to "identify aluminum and iron" better........ is Phase-1.
To be able to "see through" aluminum and iron is Phase-100 !

Well, if you saw through aluminum you'd be missing out. Gather up those aluminum shards until you have at least 50 pounds and you can get 7 cents on the pound at recycling centers.

Foil && Sig

Two-frequency detectors will be very good at recognizing the foil, as well as other metals.
When AKA Intronik comes out, pay attention to it, it uses two frequencies simultaneously at work.

Biggest problem we have at a few schoolyards are those students, adults who leave their soda pop, beer cans lying in the grass. When the ugly monster lawn cutting thing a ma-jig flies by, it picks up those cans, cuts them up into bite size pieces, spits them out to fertilize the schoolyard for us detectorists. I have two now known as Can Slaw City.

DeepTech Vista X with 3 search coils.
Works for me

The kids leave em...... the grass cutters won't get off the tractor to pick em up. After a many years, there are thousands of mangled bits of aluminum for us to remove....lovely.

Is the Intronika gonna be released in 2017?

Wonder if they can come up with a technique that mimics gravitational lensing in astronomy. Instead of seeing through aluminum, why can't you somehow go around it or reflect or deflect
from it. Maybe two different technologies like VLF and radar or some other form of ultra high frequency.

It is in the debugging stage of the software.
Debugging can last a long time ...

There is a detector that can see aluminum as iron. It's the DRS Ground Exper Pro.
However it's discrimination is best used to find silver and gold that is larger
that a ring size object in order to eliminate from pull tab to the aluminum can
objects.
