Shhhhhhhhhhh! Stop it. It is deep, and once set up properly can really produce, as you found out.

Yeh nice little unit for CanuckleHead coins as you say.( I am Canadian!) Happy Canada Day Y'all!
I found a nice little nylon fanny pack pouch to slip the rig in for a hip mount configuration, with ergonomics in mind for long detecting durations. I melted 2 little hole in the bottom for coil and earphone jacks. I always hated when you set the detector down, it would fall of the stand off the handle and get scratched. The fanny pack mounted on my hip solved that.
This also protects it from rain and you can put heat packs in it for cold weather battery preservation.
There is 2 side holders on this belt for a water bottle and bear spray, slip on a hunting knife and I'm loaded for bear!

I like your ingenious heat pack idea to keep the batteries warm from your earlier posts, there John-Edmonton.
When I lived in Edmonton as a child I remember my brother an I having to go to school in 50 F below zero and with a wind chill it was minus 70F. It was so cold you couldn't go skating on the outdoor rinks they had in all the neighbourhood parks. Makes a grown man cry it's so cold!

Now if only you can find somewhere they lose gold rings in the air ... ...

Try burying the same ring 13" in your back yard and see if it will still detect it.

For air test vs ground test on popular metal detectors...the Garrett GTI does well,as does the CZ, 6000,and Sov X2, coil for coil, according to the link below. Now just pick the detector that is hot on gold and copes with heavy mineralisation. The thin 18k ladies gold ring air test @13 inches converts to 33 centimeters
Scorp, Scorp,Scorp,Scorp,Scorp!

Yeah, I've found tiny nuggets(half gram&smaller) quite deep in the ground(six to nine inches) that would not air test at half that distance after I dug them up out of the ground. That 15kHz hits hard and deep on small gold. Happy Hunting!

I like the quick clip to undo the pack so you don't feel all tied up with cables with the belt loop or worse yet like a Minelab SD/GP does.
