Totally new to MDing. I planned on purchasing a Garrett detector this weekend and probably will do that anyway, but I wanted to get your opinions on something.
I've been talking about MDing at work for weeks now and a coworker today walked in with his Wal-Mart bought BH Pioneer 101 that he uses to detect his pins on his property. He said I could have it and to enjoy myself.
Ok, obviously this model is not the top of the line, but we plan on going to Florida at the end of the month and was wondering if this detector will work ok on Sand, no Water , just sand.
From what I've read on this forum this detector is harder to pin point items with. I read a couple of you talk about "Xing" also?
I guess two questions:
1) Will this detector work at the beach on sand only.
2) What is Xing?
