I am amazed at how little info/talk there is on the BHID 300

thanks for the info. I went out for my second time, to the same beach, Onslow Beach at Camp Lejeune. I found some coins and odds and ends, but no gold. I went on Labor Day. There was a fair amount of people, but 99% of people in the water were kids. I determined that for jewelry, Onslow is the wrong beach. Next time I am going to a truly busy beach where the jewelry is being lost. Onslow Beach is not it. Mudpuppy's comment above, "ya didnt find any gold didja?.." is misleading and erroneous. A person does not find gold every time, particularly not the FIRST time out with a new detector, new to the surf hunting scene. Yes the detector is a bit noisy, but I can pick out the signals fine. I have no problem with the coil "floating". It is pretty much neutral from my experience. As far as the coil moving in the surf, I don't understand the hubub. Simple fix, I just cut a piece of plexiglass and attached it at the stem and coil and that problem is fixed. The BHID is extremely sensitive. Once I hit the right beach next time, I think my chances will be much better. I live 1 1/2 hrs from the beach, so I get there when I can.....that is a disadvantage compared to folks who are at the beach weekly and live close, can monitor conditions and hit spots that have conditions that are right. Snobby comments like, "ya didnt find any gold didja?.." to indicate a detector is not top notch and capable is rediculous. I do see that I need a straight shaft from Anderson, because my right wrist is killing me due to a past injury. I am convinced that when a piece of gold is under the 300 coil, it is within my grasp. I will gladly hunt when I can with a detector that is $600 less than the "mighty" Excal, and eventually prove what it is capable of with the limited time I have. Thanks again for your comments.
 
I compared my bh300 to the "mighty" excal in a depth test and managed to get a diggable signal on a buried target when the excal did'nt detect it at all.I've owned two sovereigns that I used at the beach which is exactly the same as the excal in terms of depth and I can say for definate that the bh is deeper.Used in all metal with the correct sensitivity settings will give great depth,even on tiny targets that the excal will pass over.It is such an underated machine and one that most give up on before they learn how to get the most out of it.
 
awesome. I can see the BHID 300 as a great detector, very sensitive and it is just a matter of time until I hit gold.
 
Comisoas,
I'm glad you're having postive outlook and success with your bhid.
I've been leaning towards one for a while too, and would like to get the aftermarket straight shaft too.
This thread gave me a lot to ponder, namely to use what works for ME.
For what its worth, Mud has been around for awhile and I don't think he meant any harm if you take that whole post on context.
Remember, when you ask for opinions, you may not like them, but you will get them!
Keep us posted on your future success.
Cheers
 
Yeah, sorry about that Bryan..:sadwalk: .

Sometimes when I'm drinking things dont come out the way I intended...looking back at this, I was in the wrong...i've been sober for 10 days now..:thumbup:

I hunt with midrange gear and a homemade scoop, my wetsuit is a pair of long underwear, in the winter, I wear a set of garbage bags for a wader, and I hunt barefoot almost year round....I wish you much Good Luck and success! Get revenge on me! Its a powerful motivator, and thats what it takes to cure this awful gold fever! :beers:
Mud
 
Thanks so much Mudpuppy. Concerning the drinking, I know exactly what you mean. I have been sober for a year, as of June. Let me encourage you to stay off the booze. Jesus was the main reason I was able to quit. I was in the Word daily. I am not tooting my own horn, but thank Jesus for the deliverance. I was putting my family at peril as I downed that juice. I don't need to be so sensitive either, so it wasn't just what you said. Your humility and apology is a rare thing, thank you. Thanks for the encouragement. Bryan
