Whites Surf P.I. Dual Field ANY GOOD?????

[braich77]

Does anyone uses Whites Surf P.I. Dual Field. I have Excal 1000 but needs a change. I only detect in Low Trash shallow salt water.

Thanks for your assistance in advance.

Read the post right in this area from cjc. That's the proof in the pudding. I have one. Use it for deep worked out areas to find the stuff others have missed. You will dig iron with it. But...how many pieces of lead or nails is a nice gold ring worth. Besides...you are in the hunt and at least uncovering something. jim

I've just gont one, only used it once. Very impressed! I also have Excal II, which I think is pretty good too. Good luck.

I just got one as well. About 30 coins and 2 junk rings in 4 outings in pre/post Hurricane Igor Long Island surf. Looks promising, big learning curve looking forward to my first GOLD.

I certainly like mine. I've had it since about February and it has already paid for itself a couple of times over. It gets great depth, has a wide search scan and also detects small metal objects. The batteries seem to last a long time too! It does love nails and bobbie pins though and the coil is positively buoyant. HH!

I check over here as well but I'm busy hunting the dirt with my Sovereign GT right now Giving the water a break until it gets colder...

Good machine... settings I use are gain at 3 o'clock... yeah its a little noisy but its deep... pulse delay just clicked on... threshold around 12:30... you may want to start with factory settings until you are more familar with it...

Finds me the deep gold VLFs can't even hear... if you get good with it, you won't dig much more trash than you do with your Excalibur... nails, bobbiepins give a scratchy double blip same with wire... larger iron is a long drwan out signal... I never dig it... can tops are also a wide signal... with the DF you want to listen for narrow targets and the deep whispers which can also be a drop out in the threshold.. bottlecaps are tuff but I hunt mostly in the water with the DF and clean wet sand otherwise I hunt with the GT...
