I was hunting at my old house next to the train track and was ready to give up with the ground conditions. went to another site, open field very few targets.And there i was able to start learning to use this detector.I am now buying a classic id for when i can get some one to go with me.My grandson loves to go so he is watching for the ups truck.If anybody has a small coil he can bring himself to let go of that will work with these detectors eaither of them ,,please let me know. Also I live in mulberry arkansas if some one is close and wants to meet up for a hunt some time..HH
