I,ve got quite a few hrs on the unit now, so I feel i can relay some opinion safely without being called a company basher.. I had some reservation on buying a teknetics because I just didn't think they were so hot of a company, but maybe I was missing something with the release of the various new models they had.. With that being said, here's what I'm seeing first hand in my ground in North East Ohio..
What I like...Easy to use.. nice and lite and balances well in your hand for long extended hunting trips........ If you want to hunt school yards and football fields for shallow clad,( 0-3 inches) it will eat it up all day long.... as will many other units for considerably less money...
Now , when you start hitting targets at 4+ inches the target ID is just about totally useless....Signals are weak. Here's what I got today.. at least 6-7 hits registered quarter at 4 inches.. well expecting to dig a25 cent piece , out comes foil ( about a 1x1 inch square ) every time.. Ya I know, your saying its seeing it as a coin size target, but please, two way different conductive targets..
Nickles were all over the VDI spectrum.. I was diggen em from #'s 50 all the way up to 65, but i was finding them.
My ground is balancing from 68 to about 72 in all the places i've been so far and showing 1 bar for the iron content in the ground.... I can run my sens up to70 and its stable.. and set disc at 20.
Do I think it will hit coins beyond 5 inches?? No I don't.... Not in my area at least.. Theres probably allot of guys whose results are much better then mine.. I'll continue hunting with the unit and relay more experiences as time goes by...
Till then. HH Mark ( ohio )
