I also had the Dual
good very sensitive Machine
but its still a low voltage

if you can change the headphones
the gray gosth gives its best

I would like to see how this works on British beaches???

lol,

the machine is English !!!!
pulsepower Goldscan 5c and power, a battery of 18 volts continuous voltage
(and also the Manta, but it's the same)

also work well on British beaches
you never cross the Deepstar ???

the performance is almost the same
the ideal is to go after the BBS / FBS
which collects on the surface and removes the pollution, coins and light jewelry
the heaviest being at the bottom ..... B-)

Very nice haul indeed...

Two questions :

-How much deeper do you estimate the Deepstar versus an Etrac, for instance, or a GT ?

-How do you dig that deep in the wet stuff? Sure my back would hurt when going home...

Cheers

thanks,

the difference in depth
is always difficult to assess, depending on the sand + / - black
and salt + / - Important

One thing is sure, tensions high PI
are deeper, to the beach
and by far

I hunt that specific areas
ideal: a rock bottom / peat / clay at 50 cm
or a very hard sand that holds the heavy targets

I used to dig a custom gamatte
stainless steel 3 mm which excavates deep
while stirring less sand, than a shovel

but the Etrac is still a very good machine
if I did not have Pi
my choice would wear on Explrer xs II ;)

yes it is hard to find out where you can go and where you cant, but after a lot of research I managed to get a 10 day permit for all lake garda beaches, on I condition that I register all finds over 100 yrs at the local museum, who will then keep them and decide if they are of any historical value, hasten to say I will do this.

Hi again !

I recently bought a Sea Hunter MK II to have a unit that can be used in water.

With the 8" coil, I'm getting 13/14" on larger coins.

A larger accessory coil exists, that will add 2 to 3 inches depth.

Maybe I will get that one, but I find my Sovereign GT to be deeper when used in P/P mode. It's actually deeper (not by much, but deeper) with the standard Tornado coil used in P/P than a friends Etrac with the 11" FBS coil. Of course it does not provide much target data in P/P, but you still get deep goodies.

On the other hand, the SH MK II seems to be much more sensitive on small gold targets (BBS/FBS units struggle in that department).

So I suppose your detector is kind of a combo of these two worlds.

Guess my GT with a 15" WOT would have monster depth too, but I just dunno if I wanna dig that deep ! Me old back hurts ! :))
