Sandman said:Not all detector of the same brand are made equal, just like not all Blondes are the same. As Treasure Hunter said a larger coil not only covers more ground but goes deeper too.
PI's are deeper than most Excal's, but how much time are you wasting digging all those hairpins at over a foot?

I keep reading about hairpins and such... if you are a good hunter... you won't dig those double beeps or stratchy tones... I dig only narrow sounding tones or whispers... a person good with his PI will out hunt a vlf user most times including the Excal and dig no more trash than he does...
There is room for both the PI and the VLF on the beach..

So your saying all bobby pins, fish hooks, iron trash and tiny pieces of iron wire from crab traps will always give you a double beep or stratchy tone?......I have hunted with other hunters who used PI's on the beaches and they were still digging deep holes for tiny pieces of iron that I could tell with one sweep of my Minelab was a piece of iron... On a clean beach a PI is the way to go, but on most of our beaches here there is a ton of iron trash.....

Sandman said:Hunting with a PI isn't easy but as Treasure Hunter said, it does leave some gold rings in the ground, expecially the white gold ones which hold the rocks more times than not. Rings also with a broken band will give a double bip. Also second guessing the target by taking a couple scoops off the surface wastes time which you can better use to sweep for the solid hit especially if you fill your holes as you should. An Excal with a larger coil than standard is as deep as most Pulse units and you won't scoop tiny iron.
I've done the PI thing and finally gave it up when I saw the light and the muscles were weaker.

Your the first person that Ive ever heard say they dig no iron with a PI. You should open a school.PI JOE said:Sandman said:Hunting with a PI isn't easy but as Treasure Hunter said, it does leave some gold rings in the ground, expecially the white gold ones which hold the rocks more times than not.

Anyone who hunts with us who doesn't fill their holes won't hunt with us again..... believe it! Like I said before, A good hunter has to be in the same page with has detector to understand whats being said......with that said, I don't have to second guess, I am talking about a very very deep whisper/faint target...do you know what it is......I don't! Anyone here or any other forums that say they know, I'll be the first one to call them a liar...Believe it! I love the Excal, The best VLF on the beaches, But when its time to go in the water, PI's rule. One more thing, You go a head and keep Believing the Excal will go deeper with a larger coil then my PI or the DF......we CT. boys know better and so does Gary Drayton from FL., Is finds speaks for itself.....what you think he was using before the DF, You got it...........Excal.
digging41 said:After only having the Sea hunter for a short while I have come to the conclusion that it is pretty much a beep and dig machine.I do not discriminate any signals and you can definitely hear the double beep of hair pins which seem to fall off so frequently in the lakes I go to.Having said that, the other day I was out at the lake and got a double beep and it turned out to be a split silver ring. If I had any intentions of not digging the double beep I think they are all gone.The Seahunter is sometimes frustratingly deep especially when I am in a rocky area trying to retrieve a target. I would like to have the money to try out an excal because it must make hunting a little easier in trashy areas.
Since I am am in an area where there is very little hunting pressure, I can hunt at my leasure just enjoying the outdoors and the sounds of silver, gold and coins going in the scoop. While I dont get out as often as I would like and have not found a lot of gold with the Seahunter. I have found some The anticipation of the next find is what keeps me wanting to go out.This is a great hobby with a place for us all. So have a good day of digging/wading and I will be checking to see who found what after I get home from work.
