Sorry guys, I've been way busier than I'd like this summer.
I have been out for 3 quick forays with the Vaq and I'm impressed. First time was to a new tot lot that is great for testing a machine. It has new soft sand so it's easy to dig everything. I found no coins larger than pennies and nickels. Makes me think somebody's been cherry-picking that place.
But I also found some small cheap charms and even metal staples (like standard office type) so I know the Vaq can find the really small stuff. I had the discrim set below foil.
A week later I hit the sidelines of a soccer field and dug clad until hands and knees were worn out. The Vaq seems to be a keeper; very sensitive and easy to operate. Ground balancing seems to be no problem at all. I'm running in normal tuning, not super-tuned.
Does anyone have any tips for pinpointing with it? I do pretty well with it but sometimes get closer just X-ing in normal mode. That makes me think I could improve in pinpoint mode. (The sound it makes kinda freaks me out too!)
Anyway, I'll post about the 3rd hunt when I get another spare minute.
Thanks for reading; and waiting.
