Anyone tried the coil weight for whites pi dual field

[Sandscoopdan]

Has anyone used the coil weight that Anderson makes for the whites pi df? i just bought a whites pi df and also bought the blue anderson shaft, detector stand and coil weight. Waiting for it all to arrive in the mail. Just wondering of anyone has used it in the surf.
Cheers,
Dan

I used a sand filled sock which you can remove for above water searching. Them floating coils are hard to hold down for a long time.

That seems smart cause it is quicker to take a sock off once you get out of water, yea? The method i use alot is starting on dry sand dragging scoop behind me, i slowly detect walking into water and once i get to the 1st sand bar and turn around and start detecting back toward the beach i can see where i was looking at the scoop mark on shore. I use that pattern alot so maybe I'll look into using something other than zip ties on the anderson wieght.

Sandman, what kind of batteries does the whites pi df use? I will be getting one soon. i see it uses 8 AA. Do u use alkaline or the high end batteries? I forget what they r called.

It just blows my mind that they aren't supplying those with the zero-B coils they used to offer.

I use eneloops AA rechargable batteries on mine and they work just fine.
