I'm hooked. After many tries with my old 5.5kHz Garretts I finally started using a White's. Picked up a pristine GM Vsat from EBay at a steal. This machine was NEVER used. No really, never, ever used. I took it out today in some old tailings nearby. (I live in Auburn, CA.) No gold but I was finding bits of metal smaller than the face on a Lincoln penny, and as thin as foil, at 5 to 8 inches. This thing is sensitive. Small targets blew my ears off. The only reason I quit is because it was getting Cold and snow flakes were in the air. Sure I have 4WD but I can wait until next week. Love this Goldmaster. (And at the price I paid, I could barely put a down payment on a GMT.) Besides I like the old school simplicity.
