I just got off of eBay a White's Surf PI Pro and I will be using it at the beach.
What should I expect and does anyone have any advice or tips to make it easy to use?
Thanks and HH

Thanks ! I am looking forward to using it on the beach with my new scoop. I think I should get a shovel too to help dig open holes for my scoop.Congrats on the new machine DT.
I have been hearing alot about PI machines and just waited for one that I could afford. I want to get into some water hunting this year.I love the PI PRO did you get the one with the neutral buoyancy coil or the black one?
Just turn it on and go... a lot of hunters didn't like it because the pulse delay is automatic but I loved it.. the faster you swung it the deeper it went... my first 3 gold this year was with the Pro then I gave it back to its owner
Its got a nice steady smooth threshold... its only drawback are the headphones tape over the weep holes so you can keep out the wind noise..
Its a PI so you will dig it all...
Where I will be using them there will be alot of trash in certain areas. I got a beach no PI MD that I can use to go back over trashy areas with.if there is alot of trash and iron on beach dont use it they are great on clean beaches good luck

Advils and Aleve is what I live on now and when I get beat up I pack it up and make a mental note of the area.If you live in an area with lots of trash my best advice is start going to the gym. Lot's of bicep/tricep/shoulder workouts. In addition, greatly strengthen your abdominal muscles to support your back. Make sure you get the biggest quality pvc mesh finds pouch that you can buy too! Another very useful tip is buying lots of the product below. You can save some money and go with generic ibuprofen. The recommended dosage in the US is 400 mgs., but in Spain on my 500+ mile summer hikes I learned that its 600 mgs. and that's much more effective! Good luck!!
Congrats! What was the final bid?I just got off of eBay a White's Surf PI Pro and I will be using it at the beach.What should I expect and does anyone have any advice or tips to make it easy to use?
Best advice is learn what a deep round signal sounds like.. what a double beep and chatty response is. With enough time and practise your ear and brain will have better discrimination than a ctx. But it takes time... there are no short cuts to experience
You don't get that roundness with the PI PRO... the DF sure...
I haven't used the pro. For me the Df was a bit to chatty to get a definitive id If I remember correctly. The tdi With an 8x14 coil is very accurate in its responses
Never noticed, thanks for the tip!!! ....and of course, that was some mighty nice results from the PIIf you don't know there is a volume adjustment pot on the inside of the detector right as you remove the cover. GL&HH!
Mine chattered but I ran my gain wide open and just used the pulse delay just clicked out of factory.. I liked the DF what I didn't like was returning it 3 times because the coils kept failing.
Found all of this (sans sub) on one hunt last year with the White's PI Pro:
Nice hunt Compass. The PI Pro was humming that day !
