B.T's Article in the latest Gem and treasure magazine!

I just wanted to say as usual I enjoyed your latest article in the recent issue of the Australian Gold Gems and Treasure magazine about the usage of the XT-70. For anyone else who lives here in Oz, get to your nearest news agent and purchase it. From time to time articles come up that are very helpful and formative about particular machines, areas to detect and just plain good advice.

Cheers!
 
I just read the article myself tonight; as well as a second article on the 70 further on in the mag. Both were excellent reads. If I didn't read this forum, then I'd be even more impressed.
Over the last few weeks, the more I look at machines like the 70, the Explorer, the XLT, the GTI1500 eta, the more it seems to be confirmed to me, that the 30, for all it's simplicity and only 12 notches; is all one ever needs for coin shooting. In wet sand eta, it's a different story, but generally the 12 notches combined with the pinpoint fade, is all that is needed for accurate discrimination. It also helps you to be be a bit less concerned with the VID and therefore allow you to go after targets that may be rings. It wasn't that long ago that I used to be concerned about having a refined visual ID system. It seems to be overkill.
