I would think the important lessons to impart to students who might use any form of locating equipment in professional practice, is the degree of accuracy that can be achieved by various devices, conditions where that might or might not be possible and the degree of accuracy required by curators etc. None of that is specific to any one device....it is also quite important ( speaking with my site surveyor hat on) that students are aware of techniques for achieving accurate survey through means other than GPS....could save your bacon one day down the line!!
With peace and consolation hath dismist, And calm of mind all passion spent...
