Whites Prizm II
Robert in USA -
I just bought the Prism II with a trusted recommendation for White's detectors. I am new to detecting and didn't really know what to expect. I have been very pleased with the performance of the detector. It definitely takes some getting used to.
The detector has a digital display with discrimination based on US coins - Garbage and jewellery are included on this coin scale. This scale, I think is no better than numbers because I don't live in the US and there is a lot to find aside from coins. So I just use the scale as a rough guide. The scale, however, doesn't really work very well.
Often small objects and garbage will read the largest reading (50c). But if it is garbage, I've learned, the reading will be inconsistent. A coin or a solid metal object will read a constant signal - most bottle caps, foil, nails etc. will not give consistent readings. I would like to be able to have a little more accurate reading (1 decimal place numbers) as well and then be able to mark them myself in preset groups instead of the set coin values, but that's a function for more expensive detectors.
I would definitely recommend this detector to beginners and coin hunters - on and off the beach.
