We had a big day out on Sunday and took the Q40 to Ainsdale sands for a blast. Our seven year old grandson had pleaded to do some detecting with granddad so threw in the Q40 with all the beach gear; including grandson, granddaughter, wife, finds bag, beach trowels, Propointer, and wife. Oh, already said wife, didn't I?
Arrived to find that I had packed the giant parasol, balance weight, beach towels, and pick-nick; only to find that the spade was sitting idly back at home in the hall. No matter, we could get by with the garden trowel. Gave the grandson a new finds bag and put him in charge of the Propointer.
Several swings into the session and a couple of scrappy targets and grandson disappeared into the dunes to play tag.............along with me Propointer!
With the wife being disabled and not able to chase after the kids I packed the detecting stuff away and joined the children in the dunes. Scaling the highest dune after them I was greeted 'come on granddad, why are you so slow?? Yes granddad, you are slow!
Finally made it to the crest of the dune, just in time to see them both run screaming back down! Spent the rest of the day chasing round the sands after an energetic five year old and her seven year old brother.
The Q40 has been behaving it's self somewhat better on the beach of late but on Sunday it didn't even get a chance to prove it's metal. Pardon the pun!
No mate actually a new one like really new. Probably dropped 10 mins before I got there lol.
You thinking of the right machine bud? These are VLF as far as I'm aware? Not pulse induction? That's why they dint excel on the beach?
hello, so what is the difference between the Quest 40 induction balance system to a pulse induction detector ?
