Quick drw 2/pio.3300

[smed76]

I didn't like the 3300,sold it,bought a quick draw2.cost less,but how much less of a MD is it compared to BH3300.
Still a beginner ,2nd year.not sure but maybe 3300 was to much to start with or I just live in a trash pit.thinking or getting another coil 10" or 8".looking for coins/jewelry.-any feedback would be great.

The Discovery 3300 is a slow recovery machine, good machine,,just slow. I would try a smaller four inch coil if yer gonna try one..

So the 4" would be better than the 10"?.thanks.

All too often we get too into depth,,,,well depth does you no good if a targets recovery rate is too slow or too strong to allow for other target signals. Here's an example, I have a detector that will only hit targets 5-6 inches apart with a 8 inch coil. I will miss targets that could be in that blank spot, so instead of using a larger coil for depth, you use a smaller coil for an increase of target hits. This same detector will hit targets at half that distance with a smaller coil. The trash coils as some call them are real gems once you get the hang of them. Remember depth don't work if you can't find the right target.

You're original question about what the better detector between the 3300 and QD II is, really boils down to which one you like to use, feel comfortable with, have confidence with or understand better. I would tell ya to get out there and try and use as many different brands, types and styles as ya can,,,enjoy!!
