I just got it today in the mail so I decided to try it out right away in the sand ( and i have yet to buy a shovel or gloves DX) I set the discrimination very low for me to get used to it and I found a couple screws, a twistie tie and a couple pennies. So all in all I am quite satisfied having done this for only a few minutes. Can't wait to do more hunting!!!!!!!!!!!
That's all metal. Good for tot lots. I never turn mine up above min. disc. in discriminate mode for other areas. Better watch it or you'll be paying for that thing in no time.
You got yourself a fine machine. I have and use one myself. Learn where your discriminator kicks various objects out, such a can slaw and pull tabs. When I normally hunt I run the discriminator below foil but when I hit a target I "thumb" the discriminator knob upward to see where it kicks it out. I know exactly where nickles and pennies get discriminated out. This helps me determine what the target is before digging. BTW dimes and quarters can not be discriminated out. Another trick I use is to pass the coil over the target while slowly raising the coil upward. This helps me check the depth of the target.
