[QUOTE="Shane, post: 59597, member: 2106"] My finds were a bit light on. I was hoping for a ring or something but looks like most people in this spot leave it on the beach. The detector is easy to use and accurate. Easy to pin point to a small area. There were no false signals. No external switch means less moving parts to break. Picks up any coins but I am guessing only shallow stuff around 2-3 inches max. I tried it on two bits of gold 1.3g and .9g. (just on the bench)Both pieces were detected but I had to be pretty much touching the gold! I think you would need 3g+ nuggets to detect under the surface. My Minelab pin pointer is more sensitive. Definitely the biggest negative I can see is the size of the coil. I think a DD oval about 250mm long by 50-100mm wide would be excellent allowing you to cover more ground. Its also impossible to hold the detector on the ground past arm depth. In any water deeper then your arm can reach it becomes very difficult to dig a target. Anything past this depth really requires scuba. Just on that I learnt that there is no scuba shop in Darwin. Gotta buy everything interstate and have it posted here. That sucks!!! Overall I am happy with this purchase but I think there would be more practical tools for the job. This will be a good tool for hunting in the shallow creeks where normally the only way to find the gold/coins etc is dig and sluice etc. Only problem it wont find small nugs! Its a good addition to the arsenal. It was good fun too. My kids are gonna love using this at the swimming holes up here.
