Maybe... but it really doesn't matter that much one way or the other once you figure out it's the sites that count the most. I know I sure did a whole lot better my first year on a great site then I do now 10 years later on a site that is just so so. A good detector and lots of experience is really just about getting the last small % of finds in any given area. Make no mistake the last bit can sure count, but over all you got to put yourself in the right place to give yourself a chance. The person who finds the site is the man! Those who dig the targets are doing the easy fun part.

Only White's users have this problem....

Apparently, bazinga has a low opinion of Whites.

What it CAN do is always more important.

Just got a White's Coinmaster Pro, after not using mine for almost 12 years. New machine WAY too sensitive: in all-metal mode, picking up tiny pieces of aluminum foil, like wadded-up gum wrapper, at 4 inches! Drove me battier than I already am.

Finally figures out how to deal with it. Turned down the sensitivity.

As for what it can do, it's already out-performed any White's I've had in the past. But there was a steep 3-week period learning that what I was heard was not where the detector said it was.

I believe my machine could find a 5 gram gold nugget at 3 inches deep. I took a $5 gold coin with me to test, and it started detecting the coin in the air at 7-8 inches away. Not that I plan on finding many $5 gold every day. But it's nice to know, don't you think?
