When used properly in the right environment, they are a real asset.

i agree - low trash areas, relic hunting etc they cant be beat.

There is a myth amongst a lot of people that PI's aren't good for fresh water. Nothing could be further from the truth. When used properly and at the right locations, they work well, either in fresh water or salt water locations. I only hunt fresh water lakes where I live.....below are my finds from that first year. My buddy who also bought a PI experienced similar results. From my results....VLF detectors miss a lot of rings/coins.

I own two; The Minelab GPX 5000, and the Tesoro Sand Shark.

I have tried to use my Sand Shark and Surf PI Pro in a lot of freshwater lakes but tiny pieces of hair pins can last decades in fresh water. My time was not well spent. However if you can't hear it, you can't dig it.

I use an Infinium for hot VA soil.

I used my Sea Hunter II in a lake while using scuba and I was digging up bird shot, drove me nuts. I guess I could have turned the discrim up but I hate having to do that, don't want to loose the good targets. These are very sensitive machines but for freashwater swimming holes I perfer the AT Pro.
Salt water I perfer the Sea Hunter.
