Went out beep n dig n all day Sunday with my 19 year old son.We went to a sports field with CSC's on the Outlaw and the Eldorado. I had every intention of using the Eldorado, but my son was having a little trouble with understanding the Outlaw, so I set him up with my normal rig. (Eldorado CSC)
I have to say, it took me a bit to adjust to the way the Outlaw pronounces a target. I think I did pretty well with it in an 8 hr hunt. I did not find any rings(bummer), but I sure found plenty of pennies!
I have to say, I missed my Eldorado though. Lot better Tone (IMHO), and I feel the Eldorado has more depth and a better signal strength(loudness) to help judge depth and/or size of target. This may not hold true with other coils, but it seems that way with the CSC. It really bangs on the coins. I can usually tell the shallow quarters by how they seem to ignite sharply and solidly. (Hard to explain)
*I have also had very good luck with finding rings and jewelry with the Eldorado
With the Outlaw,many times I would try to guess the coin before I would dig, and I would think, hmm-penny, and would be surprised to find a quarter that was shallow. I would also get stumped on the nickles. I would think, hmm-junk target, and would be surprised to find a nickle at a couple inches. Obviously I dug everything, so I still came away with those goods to. The biggest thing I had to overcome, was swinging to fast, expecting a loud, solid tone. Many times a coin at a couple inches would just be a sort of blip, that I would come back and investigate. Upon investigating, the target would repeat better, and thus get dug.
Anyway, We both enjoyed ourselves and got plenty of leg exercise.
