[QUOTE="theluckyone, post: 204155, member: 6077"] Oh, hi! Ive been using the Jaycar QP-2301 for the last few months, and it IS pretty awful- discrimination is terrible, it sounds off whenever I hit a tuft of grass, and the adjustable shaft is held together with duct tape because the adjusting nut is rubbish. Plus it became intermittently unresponsive sometimes; and I have had to give it a love-tap to get it working again. It's really only good for coins down to 75 mm or so in real-world conditions; although it will find large objects much deeper. I have found pennies, shillings, threepence etc dating from 1877 which is pretty good for my part of Victoria, as well as a gold ring and silver cutlery- so it does the job if there is something to find. Buy it if you're desperate- but Aldi will be selling their detectors again in December, so it might pay to wait. Cheers, guys. [/QUOTE]
