sea hunter xl500 pulse

I got this md from a friend. Looking for tips on using it. Havent been to the beach yet but it sure seems faulty on land. Help?

If it is working properly, is a diving detector for mainly finding larger objects underwater, is not a good beach machine, is not sensitive enough to smaller gold items especially and would not be good on land other than beach, has no discrimination. Underwater they are looking for any artifacts from ship wrecks. Hope this helps

Hi Eric , i have used one of those machines underwater in 9ft of water with a tank on my back and pulled many gold rings with it but as a beach machine its hopeless , the best feature of the machine is that it does not require motion for searching or pinpointing but the downside is the lack of depth for targets , all rings were approx 6" below the surface .
Cheers Tony.

I have used an XL500 PI for nearly 10 years and I have found several rings at nearly a foot deep in the surf. The trick I use is to set the thresh hold to and acceptable level for your ears and dig the SLIGHT tone changes. Sometimes the change in tone is so slight that you are not sure if a change really occured. That's when I take out a big scoop of sand over the area in question, and stick my coil in the hole. If it's a good target you'll get a really broad change in tone and then you can pursue it further. I call it, "diggin for hallucinations". The Rick
