Great Detector
by Porkchop in North Carolina -
Wonderful detector. Locates objects in all kinds of soil. Searches deep in soil for objects. Discrimination works fine: the machine picks up what you want it to look for and screens out the junk. Light weight and you can also make it lighter by taking battery pack off and putting it on your belt with the clip already on the battery pack. So many features and the ones you need need nothing you don't. Very easy to use!
