Well first time ever really lol from someone who has never done this before only watched on TV and youtube. I went to the beach at surfers (out of the way of the public) to have a bit if a go for an hour.
So here's my take away. I found a 20cent piece lol that at the time i thought was a half penny due to the colour. I got a couple bits of scrap too. Butttt the couple of things i found annoying was locating exactly where the target was. So i need to get a hand held locator. No big issue but will def save time and frustration.
The depth gauge was a bit hard to understand and i guess will take time for me to get used to . So I'll chalk that up to my complete lack of experience. As well as fully understanding the readings.
But as things go. For someone who has never used a metal detector before in his life to just pretty much turn on and start detecting and find stuff. Regardless of junk lol it's a pretty impressive little unit. There's lots of little things i need to improve on like getting a plastic shovel lol but i had fun and will go back during the week when there aren't as many people around. Seriously who gets up at 6am on a sunday morning lol apparently everyone!! :lol:
