.... The reason I was gonna buy a F75 Ltd was coz I can get a brand new for a decent price and they claim that it has an all metal deep mode which can go up to 2m depth.......
Faraz, emphasis mine in your quote.
I still don't think you're getting it. Re-read my original post. it's not that some standard machines (the F75 for instance) CAN'T reach the depth you want, on cache size objects. If you have any doubts, read and re-read that last sentence ! That's NOT THE POINT. Of COURSE there's a multitude of standard machines that can reach cache sized objects JUST as deeply as a 2-box unit. Heck, there's probably super powered nugget pulse machines, that can go even DEEPER STILL than any 2-box or standard detector, on a cache-sized item!
I think you keep over looking a key point: If you show up with a machine like the F75, or other machines you're musing over for caches, sure, they'll find them. THAT'S NOT THE PROBLEM. The problem is: So too will you be be-devilled with all the other smaller items you DON'T want to find, and weren't looking for.
You might *think* the following 1) I'll just dig everything, big and small, and presto, problem solved, right? or 2) I'll just mentally ignore all the small signals, and just dig only the large sounding signals. Right ?
Ah but I wish it were that easy. You simply have no idea how much junk can be present in any place where humans mingled/lived/worked/camped/fought over the years. And you will spend all your time trying to "second guess" large versus small. Get a 2-box unit, if you're really serious that it's caches you're after.
Also, what about the part (A) of my original post to you ? Have you given thought to the fact that some of these Asian treasure legends are just goose chases to begin with ?
