Awesome
Ricky V in Richmond, VA -This detector does a great job. I just returned from the Outer Banks today, it worked great at the beach, contrary to some info I have read. I ran into one fellow detecting with a lower level detector, he wasn't having any luck.
We ran a test, burried a penny about 4 inches in the sand, if he caught it just right he could pick it up. My 202 would get a solid signal holding the base around 8 inches above the sand. I also ran into a veteran hunter of 20 years who stopped to talk for a while. He had what appeared to be a pretty fancy unit with pictures and numbers, the whole nine yards. He had found a sinker and some other piece of junk. He had seen me out earlier and was kind enough to give me a tip about sweeping the base closer to the sand. I didn't have the heart to tell him I had found almost 3 dollars in change, a little tonka toy, a Hot Wheels car, a childâￜￜs ring(junk), and few unidentifiable pieces of metal. I noticed I would get a lot of false readings in the wet sand, so I had to turn the sensitivity down low and the false readings disappeared. I never found anything in the wet sand, but I did bury a penny about 4 inches to test the low sensitivity setting. It picked up the coin, no problem. The guy with the expensive machine said he also got a ton of false readings in the wet sand which made me feel better about the 202. The deepest coin I found was a quarter about a foot deep, luckily I had my 11 year old nephew with me digging. I'm sure the more expensive models are better, especially for the very experienced hunter, but if you're looking for a great machine at a great price, the 202 is a winner. Happy Hunting!

Worth the money.
Silver Finder in Pa -
Excellent detector for the money. Dont believe the negative toy comments. I hunt with friends that have Tesoros , Whites , and Garrets. Every one of them want mine.... only because it performs great, and the ability to identify depth and probability of the target is very very accurate if you know the machine well. I find myself swinging over their holes constantly after they call me over for a check :)

PIONEER 202
Gary in Minneapolis, MN. USA -Exelent Detector. I puchased the Pioneer 202 in april 2005. Solid performer. It finds it all.Relics/Coins/Jewlery/Gold/Cashe etc. Easy to learn.
I do hunt alot. My finds in the past 2 months Using the Pioneer 202 are both Quantity and Quality. Just take the time to learn this detector, But most of all get out there and start hunting. You will be happly Rewarded.
The pioneer 202 is not exspensive and worth every penny spent.
