G'day fellow prospectors, after much researching and deliberation I finally bought my first Metal Detector. It's an EDS Plus II bought through Detech on Ebay. So far I have been on 2 outings on the beach, but am itching to get out to look for gold. The machine has performed very well and to the advertised specifications. Still learning some of the more advanced features but I am impressed with the depth that I am finding targets. Nothing to write home about but still lots of fun. Works well in wet and mineralised sand on the beach and by following the instructions, it does what they say. Any way happy prospecting to all.
