Yeah but it was pretty wishy washy PB j/k

I was kinda hoping you'd say no Gregg hold off for the new F80 coz that will mean a price crash on the F75 but no such luck.

I read somewhere that the LTD edition F75 has the boost mode and a faster processor a spinoff in the development of a new machine but ya can't believe everything ya read.
I have watched sooo many youtube videos and read so many reviews that I have now sucked through my 30gb of data for the month buggar!
Oh well no more episodes of Diggers for a bit!

I didnt say that because i sell them bedrock...i said it because i found those old coins with it on the beach in wet sand as well as in dry sand...i cant praise a machine i have never used hence i cant say what a white or garrett or minlab will do...that would be lieing if i did praise them.

Has absolutly nothing to do with me selling them..it has to do with my exsperiances with the goldbug i owned.

Yeah, I would think Poohbear was a sleezy metal detector salesman too, but I have been on the beach with him and his damn Gold Bug which was running circles around me and my F75. And in the spirit of full disclosure, Tony and his Minelab? was also making me look bad.

Yip I remember PB having the GB before selling them.

Knowing your machine is key, with Tony's minelab I'd be lucky to find an unburied car, just so foreign to me.
In my defense half the time I had it, it was in pieces.

His T2 Looks pretty cool though and he is always finding awesome stuff, need to get me something flash before he gets it all the goodies. (if he hasn't already). - Good on him he puts in the effort.

No kidding, not sure if he or Max should get the detectorist of the year award.

Hey, not a bad idea. Then we could have them in the detector finals and see who wins the coveted Rainflurry Shield.

I like your thinking, put them both on Stuart Island and give the rest of us a chance *8^)

How about White Island instead then? They will still probably do better then me, but I think that would be a good handicap, particularly if the island is in an active phase.

was it a salt water beach or a lake?Its just hard to believe that my bg will detect 3 inches max in the wet sand and your old one detected 2 feet in wet sand,mine would hardly detect a coin at 2 feet in an air test.
a few cold ones before the hunt aye?

I USE THE 10X5 at thev beach and i know the detector as i have used it alot.
I have even burried coins and it wont detect them at all in the wet sand,maybe the salt or black sand content is more down here ,but 2 feet (tell him he dreaming-the castle)lol
