Have been hunting my favorite park with a pioneer 202. Bought an Alpha 2000 and went over the same old ground, and found several old coins much deeper than I did with the Pioneer 202. Very
surprised!
Upgrade a step or two higher on your next machine and bet things will be deeper yet again . Thats the trap of our hobby, theres always a better mousetrap to buy.LOL luv it, good luck my friend!
