In the post he has put his email address,why don't you ask him some questions.
He is also coming over to the UK soon & asks if anyone wants a demo to contact him to arrange it.

I'm guessing the Eureka Gold? It has not a bad discriminator on it actually and I did use it about 5 years or so ago to look for coins on an old town site. A dedicated disc machine would do a better job of it but it worked no probs for me. I even used a GP3500 to find coins on a beach once and I recovered some coins at some pretty good depths. I did dig a lot of pull-tabs though and other rubbish which was a pain at times. Trouble with the pulsies though is that they have such big fields and if your in a really tight junk spot, heaps of targets close together, there is too much target overlap and sometimes the whole area sounds like one big giant target. That's where your VLF's really shine. The really tight junk spots are where single frequency VLFs with small coils really do their stuff.
