Overview
Built for hunters who want a capable detector for relic hunting, coinshooting, and general-purpose searching, this model combines target ID, audio feedback, and adjustable discrimination to help sort signals in the field. The large LCD display, 3-tone audio, and 5-segment digital target identification provide multiple ways to evaluate what’s beneath the coil, while the pre-set ground balance and auto-notch mode add useful control over unwanted targets. An open 8-inch concentric search coil, built-in speaker, headphone jack, and adjustable stem with ergonomic S-Rod handle and armrest round out a setup intended for comfortable use over longer outings. The included handheld pinpointer is a practical addition for locating objects more precisely once a target has been found.

Considerations & Trade-offs
- The 8-inch concentric search coil and pre-set ground balance suggest a setup aimed at general-purpose detecting rather than highly specialized ground conditions.
- The 3-tone audio and 5-segment target ID provide useful feedback, but they still require interpretation and practice to use effectively in the field.
- The included pinpointer helps with locating targets in smaller spaces, but it is a separate handheld tool that adds another item to carry and power.
- Uses two 9V batteries, which are not included, so it is worth factoring in the added cost and battery management before heading out.
