    []only works when pointed at the ground.

    []makes a beeping noise.

    []makes a different beeping noise when it "finds" something.

    []produces little piles of dirt you can dig into to find caps, ammo, and other metal items.

    []actually works on roads, floors, bridges, blimp catwalks, and any other surface because scripting it to detect ground is apparently impossible.

    []is actually a "weapon" so it has to be "fired" to work (hold down shoot button).

    []comes in an ESP and ESL package.
