This looks like it would be ideal for hunting around the creeks here.

Check his other videos about it as well... he sells them for around $AU250 + Shipping

Any thoughts on the matter?

pretty interesting.. would be a good addition to your prospecting gear if you could afford.. however from the looks of this vid

It dosnt look as though its going to pick up the real fine stuff.. wether that a problem for you or not.. and also the coverage area of the sensor is very small..

still though very cool :)

That's similar to using a handheld ferrite loop wand with your normal detector.

I have a waterproof wand coil with my PI machine, but don't use it much as I'm doing "coins in grass" hunting mainly these days.
