What is super about it is it is absolutely quiet until I hit a target. No threshold noise
My finds are sometimes so far apart, without threshold noise I couldn't tell if my detector was still working.

Scuba you really should get a GoPro and film your hunts! Nothing giving away your sites but I think they would be AWESOME! Especially for those of us who are too chicken to do that style of detecting.

Detecting to me is like fishing or hunting to others.
Detecting isn't FINDING. Just like fishing isn't CATCHING and hunting isn't BAGGING.
Detecting is the peace, quiet, relaxation and exercise you get while hoping you will find something unique and valuable.
It is a hobby that might and might not ever pay off but that is all it is a hobby to enjoy.
Anybody have a radio controlled airplane hobby or a shooting hobby? Do they ever pay you back? No. You sink money into those without the chance to ever see a dime come out of them.
Scuba tells it straight out true! It's a hobby for fun. Enjoy what you can, if you don't enjoy it don't do it. Find something new.
BRAVO SCUBA!!
If you are into detecting because you are going to strike it rich some day, you are probably in the wrong hobby.
Do I get lucky? Sure. I have a lot of time to put into the hobby and it brings me peace. So the more I do it the more I learn my detectors and the rewards are obvious. Will I ever find a sunk Spanish galleon full of gold? No. I find my treasures one ring at a time and sometimes two.
I used to live off my finds when my wife died and I closed my computer shop. I spent day after day searching for elusive gold. Nobody was diving back then and if I didn't find 6 gold rings a day I was disappointed. Now if I find a couple a day I am happy as a lark. However I am retired and I can still put a lot of time and effort into searching. And I really enjoy the hunt.
Getting discouraged is not an option and shouldn't be for anyone. I would say if you do get discouraged, look for a hobby that will always bring you happiness when you do it. Unless you have a 20 thousand dollar radio controlled airplane and you are watching it crash dive.
