Hi Guys,Gals

my detector will tell me if it's ferrous but i still like to dig any way would like to venture into a detector made for my needs eg Discrimination , Notching out etc..
A serious coin jewellery detector , for beach and park

Basically an Explorer will handle it all especially the deep silver. however in a local park the light 705 would be a better choice for shallower clad and gold jewelry ought to cover it all in one sentence..

i think right now the quattro is the biggest bang for your buck. they are selling in excellent shape for around $400. good target info and deep. i've never used a 705 (once i used a minelab multi-freq machine i've never used anything else except a pulse machine at beach.) if you buy all the coils for 705 you can get into some cash outlay......hh.....jb

I guess my question is ... what the heck is wrong with what you are using now??? seems to be doing well. On the beach, i like the FBS just because they transition BETTER from dry to wet sand than a single freq. A PI is still you best best on the beach, but the SOV arent as expensive at the Explorers and do as well if you dont need a screen to look at. Sometimes in a park good separation, a detector that gives distinct tones in the nickel area, and doesnt go seriously deep will pick up jewelry and clad better than our super machines. Jewelry just doesnt get that deep unless its covered.... it more about know what it sounds like and digging a lot of trash. Also, try just digging those targets you wan to find.... be willing to hunt for just jewelry and ignore those other signals. Digging takes time as does checking EVERY target on the screen.
