Quoted from Coyote:So as per my previous comment, I'm a newb, and my current detector is a cheap, off-the-shelf thing from Harbor Freight.
Can ya'll enlighten me - what do these more advanced (Whites, for example) detectors give? Yes - treat me like an idiot. (Because I am, in this context. Heh!)
I can't help you out with your question. But I have some good advice for you. Don't take your younger brother with you when you go detecting. Many years ago I want with my older brother to the Jersey shore.
He just got his first machine and was giving it his first try
Little did he know I had a pocket of pennies,and I was behind him tossing them in his sweep path . He was going nuts,and had visions of gold necklaces just waiting for the pickings.
He didn't think it was so funny when he found out,but I had a blast that day.
PS
Go ahead and down vote me , I deserve it.
