[QUOTE="gcause, post: 58613, member: 1497"] The other kit I built from that same place in the UK is the Baracuda PI it is supposed to be more sensitive than the SurfPI and has a more square circuit board that fits more easily in most cases. However as per my link above neither of these could handle the mineralised ground out at Warwick' Thane and Canal creek goldfields. They just don't have any ground balance to counter it. They should work just fine in the local parks though. Also check out the geoforum for answers on why the chipset heats up as there have been a few modifications made since the kits were produced. Good luck with your build. [/QUOTE]
