Anyone tried one of these?

[Goodyguy]

I got a two box detector and since it detects deep, maybe I need more than just a shovel.
Has anyone tried one of these? Harbor Freight sells it for $2995.00
Says it will dig to 7 feet deep.

never tried one but it sure looks like a good idea would have come in handy yesterday.

I help build trails here in Austin and some one brought one of these out to a trail build awhile back and maybe it's just the bad soil we have here ,but this thing didn't work worth a hoot,it's under powerd

Dont quote me on this one, but they probably wouldnt like it if you showed up at the park with one of these in tow !! just my guess.
good luck and happy hunting

You would have to be digging in loose sand for that thing to work. Not enough weight.

Oh yeah I think that I owned that model. They do great but they are for light stuff only. The first time you start digging around a boulder or tearing out a stump expect to start fixing it on a regular basis.

Thanks for the good input everybody, I will probably just rent a proper backhoe when the time comes to unearth the big one.
I am getting pretty good at digging 4-5 foot deep with a shovel and haven't really needed to go any deeper than that so far.
