It arrived today and all looks good...... detector w/straight shaft, rain cover, carry case, hip-neck mount, 2 battery packs......I paid 800 and its only been used a couple hours.... I think that was good.......I hope......
Took it out to the beach to give it a go.....Standard settings, disc-mask on, sens about 12:00. I sure love the different sounds, highs-lows and nulls....Quite different than my sand shark.... Messed around and found some pulltabs, cans and pennies...... Unlike all my other times at the beach I did not go home w/ a pocket full of iron...... I heard bunches of nulls and checked around each one and found a couple good targets by a couple...
If I got a small change in threshold or a little blip that couldnt repeat would switch to allmetal PP and find it.... A couple I never recovered, had a 2 foot hole and still digging.... gave up...
Berried a dime and a quarter about 7-8 " and did a test.... The dime no peep in disc..... Allmetal I could find it.......The quarter could just get a threshold change in disc....Would have dug the quarter but missed the dime..... I see why people search in am PP... Sure is a lot deeper....
If anyone has handy the link to the instructions how to put a switch on the handle to go from disc to am it would be great......That is something I am definitely going to do..... My local pc guy can do the actual soldering for me...
Now I just have to learn all the sounds and get a bigger coil......
Dealers: The first one of you that contact me w/ a 15" wot in stock gets my business......!!!!!!
As far as weight..... I was expecting something heavy...... This thing is light and well balanced...... Its as easy to swing or easier than my sand shark...
Did I mention I love the sounds it makes...... I tried a friends v3 the other day and it sounded like the slot machine area of a casino......
