Awesome spot to get your feet wet. Having a place close by when you only have an hour or two to spare can really help. They say it takes about a hundred hours before you really get comfortable with your detector, you'll be well on your way by the time next season starts.

Well I got out to do a little swinging in the back yard .. holy crap my arm got tired quick ! Was flopping back and forth from Pro to Standard modes in zero. Had the ID set around 28 , and managed to pick up some 70 - 90 reading but unable to pinpoint. Would lose the target. Also appears that items are deep as well. No digging involved today ...still fun as hell tho ! Felt like Pavlov's Dog ... hey that would be a good id name ... Dig every time I hear a high tone ! 100 hours you say ... dare to dream !
Hey whats the going rate on a Plug Monkey anyways ?

It's that stock coil that's the killer. I swing that thing for an hour and it feels like I have carpal tunnel syndrome. Put the baby coil on it and you'll last longer and the pinpointing is way easier. The depth does suffer a bit, but really, do you want to be digging horseshoes 12" down? I never take mine off unless I'm in a big field and CG is on the other side making jokes about the size of my coil...
Cheers, DS

Typical guys, always comparing the size of our coils ;-)

Oh ! I heard it wasn't the size of the coil ...It was the way you swing it !

The Pro does have a draw back on wet sand and salt water as they are hard to ground balance. Don't even take mine near the water and use the old Seahunter mk2 ...a pulse machine.
If your use the pro in water you will notice that it will get a rainbow across the lcd...this is normal.
Good luck and hunting!

That is true. Now I find with the smalller coil, GBing isn't as difficult and doesn't drift as much. Still noisy as all get-out but you'll know when you found something interesting, no mistaking that.
Definately a PI machine is the trick for salt water but after talking with CG about his new machine, don't know if I want to dig up nickels 16" down...
Cheers, DS

Sort of warming up to my Pro even though it has been to the factory 4 times for repair. As a land machine she gets great depth but for water...I don't take it there and use my pulse induction Seahunter MK11...doesn't mind salt water at all.
