For the guys that love the Garret model, what are you using it for and what depths are you getting out of it? So far everything I have read points (pun intended) to the Pistol being better for small gold.
when i get the object pinpointed with my machine i dig the hole to the level and i check the plug then the hole i very rarely miss unless it is a miniscule piece of rust and after a few minutes i still find it and using it by itself i get 4-5 inches depending on the strength of my batterys i usually change batteries after 3-4 8 hr hunts .
