[QUOTE="aussie280, post: 122883, member: 4306"] Hi guys, I'm new to the forum and to MD. I'm working to a limited budget and in reading reviews/advice any MD under $250 prrobably isn't worth it so my best bet is to look at PI kits (as I know how to hold a soldering iron). I was initially interested in building the Surf PI but then came across the Mirage PI from Sven. at treasurelinx.com/projects.html. Has anyone here tried this Kit? How did you think it performed? I want to beachcomb 80% and try my luck on the local goldfields of Victoria 20% (I live in Lilydale). Specifications: Pulse Frequency....1000Hz Pulse Delay............10 to 90us Pulse Width............12 and 30us Threshold...............Silent to audible Audio......................VCO SAT.........................1/2 to 10 seconds Gain........................5 to 1 Frequency Adjust....10% Search Coil.............300us Operation Power.....12 volts Search Coil Sizes ...5", 7", 9.5", 10.5" Thoughts / advice? 8) Regards Aussie280 [/QUOTE]
