Bit the bullet last night and decided to be a guinea pig. Ordered a Whites SST for a bit of a new direction for some coin/relic hunting. Haven't heard a lot about them being used in Australia but they seem like a good thing. Has a frequency of 14khz & has been described as a simplified version of the MXT but better than the the M6.
Has the same high performance gain as the MXT, same fast tracking ground balance as the GMT & same visual target ID display + 7 audio tones for discriminating as the M6.
Looked at several others including the Tesoro Tejon, Tesoro Vaquero & Teknetics G2 but settled on the SST due to having used a GMT before & being happy/comfortable with it despite not wanting to chase gold like the GMT. Will still be getting either a 4500 or 5000 for that & may still ping a nugget with the SST if hunting relics on goldfields but not holding big expectations of it there. Like that it has the same fast tracking ground balance too & appears easy to use with only three controls. Time will tell I guess but looking forward to having a go with it. Also has salt mode for the beach if/when I get there although the USA forums say to drop the gain first & use salt mode as a last resort. Has some good reports over there & apparently handles mineralised ground ok too with the stock 10"x6" coil.
Wondering if anyone else is using one & has any tips etc.?
Might be a good machine for those wanting an entry level, easy to operate detector for under $800 so I'll try to post some feedback once I get some time in with it (hopefully good :lol.
