Got my Deepstar today.(Thank You JPC and Mr. Bill) Here are my first impressions. The reception was simular to the excitment of Christmas when I was 9yrs.old. I liked the look of it right from the get go. The 8" coil was first to see the light of day. Very impressive construction. The 11" coil looks rugged like the 8". This excits me because of my past experience with another PI. The weak link for the Barracuda PI machine I owned was that both ends of the cable. As hard as Jim Pugh tried to make them strong I always managed to bend them enough so that falsing occured. These Deepstar cables appear superior in construction.
The control box is not as large as I imagined. And it is rugged feeling, very strong. With the batteries it weights a fair amount but I'll be hip or most likely chest mounting it. What really matters is the weight of the coil and shaft and it looks light enough.
I turned it on and it sounded like my Barracuda. Which I'm glad because I loved my Cuda when it did not false. The signals were chrisp and clean. You knew you had a target when it sounded off and I found 18 gold rings 167 total in one year with the Cuda. All in fresh water to boot.
Tuesday or Wednesday I'll be off to an old race(1860-1920) track/County Fair grounds where many old coins from the 1800's have been found. More later.
