    Hey guys, Im looking to get either of these soon-ish and hopefully over time have them all in my Arsenal. Originally I bought the 15 Evo but I find it very noisy for my liking and have a hard time pinpointing with it not to mention the terrain makes it hard to move around sticks constantly...

    How often do you go out detecting?

    I try to get out as much as I can and do wish I lived a bit closer to the golden triangle. Always a good 1.30 hour drive for me so usually end up camping the night.

    Reducing EMI On 15 Evo?

    Hey guys Im finding this a very noisy coil. Most times I have to drop the rx gain right down around 6 to keep the ground noise low otherwise it picks up every bit of hot ground. One thing I cant get under control is the emi. Any suggestions? Thanks

    Checking Other Peoples Dig Holes? Thoughts?
