I had one when they were the latest. Was good using the Coiltek 14 inch round DD. Simple machine compared to my 5000. I used it in tracking as it was not great where I detected in fixed as the ground was/is too variable. I never hovered over targets multiple times so that the tracking could balance it out. I got a target, couple of sweeps and then id dig. It wouldn't bal out a solid target but might a very faint iffy one with multiple/several coil sweeps. Go slow was the main thing. Ill be honest though, I reckon I have forgotten a bit about it since then, was a while ago. But was a good machine. No dif between it and an Extreme really, or a 3500 for that matter. The 35 handled fixed a little bit better, that was all.
