beach detector

[lord lovell]

no eric retired a few years back but was involved with cscope and whites pi machines the scope i have been told is a watered down foster curcuit

[kernelcuster]

I think the Sov is the best beach machine by far! but I do own one lol

Do they do waterproof covers for the control box i wonder

I would rather go for the Souvereign GT with the bigger WOT coil for the beach.

At least you have disc and yeh it will go less deep then a PI in the disc mode( although in the all metal mode I think the GT goes at least as deep as a PI detector)
The time you save with not digging every hairpin I rather spent going for the lesser deep, good signals.
With the WOT coil I'm also diggin coins at 13 inch.

When I do hit a hotspot I switch my GT over into the all metal mode, that way you have some extra depth to.

i bought a dual surf pi last week,i will not look back now,i dig everything but my finds have gone up dramatically,in one week i have had various viccy bunheads georgian,pennies a gold pen top also viccy,a lovely silver ring 5 sixpences,a silver archer broach and lots more i havent mentioned,in other words if you can dig deep and dont mind digging everything go for a pi you will be rewarded.

going looking at a second hand pi the guy recons it will get coins a couple of foot deep.hopefully its a eric foster.

Geting coins at a couple of foot deep is stretching it for even the best PI's so take that with a pinch of salt.

If you could let us know the make and model before committing then we could give you some idea if you are getting a decent make or an ebay Chinese heap of junk.

Good luck

I bought a dual field a few weeks back and i have not used my Sov or CTX on the beach since, OK you dig everything at first but i am just starting to tell good signals from iron by the sharpness and size of the signal (im still digging crap but not as much LOL). A good scoop (Muck the diggers are top class) is a god send as digging targets in the wet sand is easy and quick anyway. I bought a book called "The whites Surfmaster PI Dual Field by C. Clynick" and it has a lot of good info in there about settings for different parts of the beach and target signals, how to tell the signal differance which after a few sessions digging allsorts started making sence . Big bonus is that even if you put it down in the sand or drop it in the water it don't matter as you just rinse it off at home with the hosepipe. I really luv it.
Another bonus is that i sent it to Whites for a check out and test, 2 days only and it was back fully serviced and ready for the winter beach sessions. fantastic backup service.

Well I went and looked and got it,it is a cs4pi used once at 79 problery why,guess the 2 foot was a bit deep to expect,cheap enough anyway

You have got a bargain there, well done. It will give you the chance to try a Pi to see if you get on with them without spending a fortune
