Met up with Dig tonight to test out his new White's Dual Field Surf PI machine. We did some comparisons between it and my Excalibur II with 10" coil. We buried some gold rings and it seems that the PI does about as well as the Excalibur in the pinpoint mode. The Excalibur would loose the really deep targets when switched to discriminate.
Here is a photo of "Dig" with his new toy. Note the evil sand dredging/pumping machine in the background. Our good detecting days are numbered! <br><br><img src=http://i1230.photobucket.com/albums/ee499/jpfotog/dualfielddig.jpg><br><br>After we were done with the testing we headed in opposite directions and did some low tide wet sand hunting. I managed to dig up a nice 10K wedding band.<br><br><img src=http://i1230.photobucket.com/albums/ee499/jpfotog/gold040611.jpg><br><br>As you can see we are in the thick of tourist season right now.<br><br><img src=http://i1230.photobucket.com/albums/ee499/jpfotog/wetsandsunset.jpg>
