in disc mode? I used to run a White's MXT, but with any kind of decent size coil (above 8") it was a beast on my shoulder. Are any of the other detectors out there, lighter with a 9"+ detector (around 3 lbs, but no heavier than 4lbs), well balanced and capable of running with an audible threshold in a discrimination mode? I would use this to get the deepest signals possible and use a limiter on my headphones to keep it from getting loud enough to hurt my ears.
