Well, finally decided on my next detector and picked it up yesterday.
I got the Scorpion.
I was all set to get a TID machine, but I kept asking myself if the screen was going to tell me anything more than the tones would. After discrimination is set, if it beeps I'm going to dig it anyway, no matter the screen says.
I almost hate to admit this, but John Edmunton's regular posts showing his success with the Scorpion inspired me to try this detector.
Believe me, I know it won't happen overnight. Even the manual says I should plan to put in at least 100 hours before I even start to get competent with it.
I've got a big hunt coming up Wednesday, so I'm going to practice with it as much as I can prior to that.
Wish me luck.
I know I can't out-hunt you John, but I'm gonna try!
