I think your machine will work great for you . I like whites detectors, they are good machines. I had some relatives that lived in Myrtle Creek. Actually they were cousins of my parents and I don't remember their names but I am sure they are all long gone by now onto their just rewards. My dad used to work heavy construction and was a cat skinner. He worked in the myrtle creek area for a couple of years and told me stories about all the myrtle wood he would plow under with the cat he said he sure wished he would have known that myrtle wood was going to be so valuable in future years as he would have grabbed up a ton of it. Have fun with the new detector and be sure to post your finds. Yak at you later. PS I live out in the Christmas Valley area and if you ever decide to come to the desert let me know.
