I've heard (and seen) some really good things about this PI unit, but can't seem to find much info. about them through a Google search. Anybody know anything about them? They seem extremely powerful - more so than Excalibur?

It is not a PI, it is a TR unit...<br />
<br />
They are good, but also very expensive, last I heard $3500+ new, and none used that I have seen, also expensive to repair, black sand is their worst enemy, the Aquasound must be used away from any black sands. The cleaner and whiter the sand the the deeper it goes. <br />
<br />
Tuning the machine is also critical, usually maximised after about 10 minutes of use from what I have read. The coil loves to be submerged in water where the electronics can be really wound up. It is a very high powered TR unit (52V to the coil in high powered mode). <br />
<br />
It is my understanding they can tell the difference between bottle caps and gold, but not pull tabs and gold.<br />
<br />
<br />
I have read that with "good" tuning 18" is about right and "great" tuning about 20". Tuning incorporates getting both the "Null" controls really tight and then the volume/threshold down really low, again just what I have read from posts on other websites....<u>I do not own nor have I used one.</u><br />
<br />
I do not think it would be a good detector for Missouri which has a lot of black sand deposits, also not really a novice detector......<br />
<br />
Off hand I know The Bulgarian owns one, and I think Snookson owns one so they can give better answers but..............................<br />
<br />
<b>WHY don't you just get a good detector and learn to hunt, instead of trying to find a magic detector, or always trying to re-invent the wheel..</b> <br />
