Title: HELP ADVICE Post by: bobbles on May 19, 2011, 11:37:17 AM HI WOULD LIKE SOME ADVICE WITH BUYING A DETECTOR FOR BEACH AND AS A BACK UP MACHINE.
WHICH WOULD BE LIGHTWEIGHT TOO. AND CHEAP. MY MAIN MACHINE IS FISHER F75. THANKS ROB Title: Re: HELP ADVICE Post by: tyna on May 19, 2011, 11:48:04 AM Rob - you have to 'speculate to accumulate' F75 for land is fine but for serious beach detecting you need a PI ??? As a back up for land and beach - can't think of any cheap options :)
Lot of gold still to be found on the beaches so don't be too economic :-\ Title: Re: HELP ADVICE Post by: Chef Geoff on May 19, 2011, 01:58:48 PM Hi Rob, as Tyna has said for dedicated beach detecting a p.i. machine is the way to go, unfortunately all sub £1000 pi machines are just playing at it (with the possible exception of the Garrett Infinium) and you are better getting the recognised king of the beaches as far as VLF technology is concerned which is a Minelab Sovereign (any model) which you can pick up for around £300, these will not give you the same sensitivity to tiny items however it will give you better depth on non ferrous targets and discrimination.
While this is in no way a lightweight machine it can be used hip mounted which solves the weight issue.

wait till i get his knowledge then there wont be any gold left :o Title: Re: HELP ADVICE Post by: EMU Ex Minelabuser on May 26, 2011, 11:57:21 AM the problem with a PI machine you will be digging deep holes and even the best PI machines don't have very good discrimination
i have the T2 and works very well on the beach Darren Title: Re: HELP ADVICE Post by: dances with badgers on May 26, 2011, 11:58:18 AM you found any gold darren?
