More to follow as time allows. Love the audio quality on this detector. It grabs your attention.

Hi woodchiphustler,
Ive had allot of fun with mine so far! its deep if you listen for repeatable signals that don't give any VDI response. Something very tiny or deep or both. It will pick up my hand at 4 inches with the stock coil that's pretty sensitive for a machine without a threshold and in disc mode but it has to be balanced and track locked. Recently at Lake Tahoe on a lesser mineralized beach I was hitting quarters at 10 plus inches(6x8SEF coil) but they were just ticks until I kicked off 4 to 5 inches of sand, then I would start getting Vdi. So those repeatable ticks are not ghost signals. If you drive the gain up until its chatty and ground balance where you can hear the ground you can lock it positive. Sometimes it wants to balance negative and wont go positive in standard trac. If you throw it into salt trac balance and then back to normal track it will go positive balance, then lock it. If you do this over a wood floor and track out the nails then balance back and lock, it raises the tone of a small nugget out of the iron range. I did a Video on this. I'm not too good a vids But here it is any way.

Have fun with the new machine.

Very interesting. I hunt colonial sites full of square nails. I will try this.

Nice video WCH. Thanks much.
I've had my eye on the SST but there's not much out there on it.
I like your pup too!

Ive been site hunting a very tough comstock ghost town (Empire!! you can hardly see clean ground and the bottle diggers have turned up all the tin over and over again and now their screening it, their piles look like graves ) and you may find weaknesses in heavy iron, too much audio blending due to the 7 tones. As nice as the audio is it stands out for me at least in medium target density areas. I know from your posts you have had a G2 and I have one as well. And I prefer the SST in two areas ONLY.
Heavily mineralized soils, It can operate where the G2 Overloads with better depth at lower sensitivity levels. Its opened up beaches I couldn't hunt before and even dealers have said you could not hunt without a PI..(mxt m6 mx5 probably do the same)
General park hunting it gives you allot of audio info and without all the iron effecting the desc and audio its tight but the deep or tiny stuff will just be a repeatable static tick.
I have been Killing the small jewelry with it on sled and tube runs.
All that being said 45 minutes at my comstock site and the g2 had to come back out, It did pull some good non ferrous targets but the G2 was defiantly much better at separating the targets.
Maybe a smaller coil might help the 6x8 is the smallest I have and it sees allot of ground compared to the 5.3. or a smaller DD 4x6.
Might take it to the next level in the iron.
Im thinking 4x6.
Be well.
