[QUOTE="mudgee hunter, post: 338159, member: 9124"] Noisy, after a while you basicaly can pick the tone pitch, metal will give off a crisp sharp pitch signal, some hots will give off a duller double echo typo pitch. The name bug descibes it really well in warm areas, sounds like a bug buzzing on and off sniffing, you can turn down the sensitivity a bit to soften it, and some ground 100% sensitivity with little noise. I do remember the seller from vic saying they weren't that common in vic. They do run at around 73khz, compared to say average I think of 20khz of most vlf's. Should be called a mineral detector! The coil can pick up the minerals etc just off your hand under the coil. The cook left it out in an inch of rain one night!!! I didnt say a word to her really..... counted to 1000 in disbelief. Took the batteries out, left it on the dashboard to dry. Fired up fine. Lucky for her! Ha there was one going for sale in the selling section in this forum. If you can pick one up second hand, I would. Scratches give away the best hint of use. [/QUOTE]
