I'm currently engaged with a conversation with XP that their GO TERRAIN app is so full of holes that they could in the future use the data that people upload to their cloud server for a future AI metal detector. And I think I'm winning the argument

You are a legend cleggy. Always displaying determination. Keep going and do what you love best. Dont worry about what others think about the world and the tumbs up you get. What is most impotant is that you find joy and pleasure out of your hoby.

I appreciate that. The thing is I'm my father's carer, and he's 89 so getting out metal detecting is now is a lot more difficult. I'm sure that soon I'll be able to create an avatar of myself and clone my own voice and make it look as if I'm sitting in the National library creating a podcast

Subbed from Finland. Happy hunting from a fellow detectorist!😊

[@rolyvonotter2693]

😂😂😂im definitely sharing my finds & locations 😂😂😂

[@steveshepherd2712]

So your historic find could be automatically reported to F.L.O. or goverments ?🤔 We are already using so much tech now with lidar, gpr, sat images etc to locate potential sites. If you check the apps on your phone you will see most require you agree to them accessing info . I was chattting with a bee keeper I met in the field and two days later I get adds for bee medication on my phone !!!

I hate AI and surveillance

[@grassypants4450]

No thanks.

Why else would they be Gathering this data?
