ive had the titan 2000 now for a month, im not saying im expert with it yet but ive been over the same ground we coverd with my sons tracker 4 and found more deeper coins, it is indeed very easy to learn but like any detector the more you use it ,the better you get with it , detecting is like fishing, you just have to have time to spend on it and learn the tricks to it , and chances are you will not catch the big one right away!!! BUT, the novice does have the same chance to find it. like fishing this hobby is very relaxing and exiting at the same time! keep searching!!!!! and read grey ghosts post on not giving up to fast! he is wise!
