Bought Garret Infinium...............

[tomjj]

and would like to know what type of learning curve I should expect? And does the training CD explain everything and show you how to Make all the adjustments, like how to manual ground balance if need be? ETC........ And does this work in highly materialized soil like they say it does, and on the beach with the salt water???

I only have my Infinium for about a year. I have the 8" mono and 3x7 coils I use. The learning curve is not hard. You have the hi-low & the low-hi tones and gold & nicleks or in hi-low, clad coin & iron & silver is in low-hi. And on the materaliztion , yes on that. Works good on beaches. The 8" mono coil is very deep , like 12" on a nickel. The 3x7 is not a deep , but will work better it trash, about 7" on a coin. I have taken the small coin to a school and can find coin with it. But you will find out that with any PI detector you are going to dig some trash.

Sounds very interesting; how is that achieved ?

Well just test it for yourself....grab a nickle or whatever and set threshold on 3, then 4 and see how deep in air or in ground it will detect it. Set on 5,6,7,8 and see also. You will see a difference in depth. I usually hunt with mine around 5.5-6. As that seems optimal sensitivity. But I have got blips of tiny or deep targets before and set thresh to 8 and got a stronger signal enought to tell me to dig.
