Steve, it's great in or out of the water but quite heavy on land because of the thickness of the case. It has to be waterproof down to 200 meters so the case is quite robust. It comes with a belt which helps but the cable can get snagged in places like a forest or even by your feet if you aren't careful when using it in a park. Ideal for beach or in the water but not so good on dry land because of physical characteristics. Functionally, it's fantastic Pulse Induction with discrimination and it works great.

It's all about that moment when metal that hasn't seen the light of day for generations frees itself from the soil and presents itself to me.

Thanks, I live in south Florida and will use it at the beach shallow water and dune line.  Garrett has a great deal where you can trade in your old garrett and get 40% off of a new one.  I currently have a beach comer atv3, however it needs to be repaired, used it once and then it stopped working.  Did not pay much $$$ for it..

It is a PI and that means dig it all.

There Is no such thing as Discrimination on a PI machine no mater what it says.

You Have Elimination that will loose your gold if you choose to use it.

 Great

I think the Sea hunter is one of the best, if you decide to purchase one go to  DetectionNet.com they are running a special for April for $529.00 with no gifts and no tax to some states. I have purchased from them several times and they are quick and good .

You just keep on believing that myth of no discrimination. It works great in spite of your disbelief in it.

There is no Dicrim on a PI machine.  Period.  You can Add time to sample loosing some stuff but the good stuff goes with it.

You can NOTCH sample but they are slow and iffy.

PI is what it is, a kick but deep aquatic machine and if done right a good gold machine.  MineLab makes one.

Show me a Discriminator PI that works!
