I finally got confident with the controls and got out of my back yard.
Made it down to a local park with a nice volley ball court that always produces.

Dialed it in and hit the court good and was amazed at the accuracy of the Meter!
Also the pinpointing was spot on.

One nickel was good 8 inches.
Pennies where as deep as 6 or so.
loud and clear.

Very happy with this and I see why they call these coin killers.
Plans for the box to hang from the hip and this Beauty will be a fun beach comber.

Cheers

I bought the 6000 di pro sl new back around 1993 and still use it today. I bought the 5.3 bullseye coil for it and really like it. Enjoy!

Good for you, G! I still take my 35 year old 6 DB out once in a while for quick hunts and it still comes through for me. Always loved the pinpointing capabilities of the Blue Boxes...Always nice to only hafta dig a 2-3" plug. 😁

Hardly anyone makes a detector with the pinpoint capabilities of the coils on the White's except Tesoro. Pinpoints are spot on. Makes ya wonder if the manufactures went cheap so they could sell more electronic pinpointers.:icon_scratch:

I think you may be right, Sandman! 😊 I'm getting used to the PP on my E-Trac, but it's not holding a candle to my 6 DB.
