White's Surf PI Metal Gold Detector

I bought this and found out I don't really understand or like Pulse metal detecting. Supposed to be one of the best for finding gold under water... But the annoying beeps keep me from wanting to use it. If you're familiar with pulse detectors this may not bother you. This is an $823 detector. Only asking $299 to get back what I bargained the guy down from $500. Here is some info about it: The White’s Surf PI Dual Field metal detector is the result of over fifteen years of research and development from one of the most outstanding manufacturers in the treasure hunting business. Pulse Induction technology has been harnessed by White’s to create this all new, powerful machine with circuits that reach deeper than any other detector on the most prized jewelry - gold, platinum and white gold. Depth, sensitivity, ease-of-use, and speed combine to make the Surf PI Dual Field unbeatable on the beach. The all new, large 12" search coil can be swept quickly or slowly across wet, salty sand and water as well as highly mineralized ground with exceptional results and very little resistance.   Features: Warranty : 2 Year Limited Frequency : Pulse Induction Total Weight : 8.4 lbs (3.8 kgs) Waterproof : Can Go as Deep as 100' Underwater Audio : Waterproof Headphones Hardwired into the Unit, Not Removable Adjustable Pulse Delay : Reduces Black Sand "Noise" Quiet Beaches - More Targets   Factory Included Accessories: 12" Search Coil Penlight 8AA Battery Holder   White's Surf PI Dual Field metal detector combines turn-on-and-go ease with unbeatable depth and sensitivity. The Surf metal detector's all-new power circuit reaches new depths, especially on the most prized jewelry - smaller gold, platinum and white gold. Even in the worst beach conditions like black sand. Now, beach and surf metal detection has a new, deeper layer of hunting! Background: The Surfmaster Dual Field has been enhanced with increased performance over past Surfmaster PI models. It is a high-performance user-friendly metal detector, waterproof to an underwater depth of 100 feet, operating on the Pulse Induction principle. It is capable of extreme detection depth on coins and jewelry in salt water and mineralized ground. In the past, P.I. metal detectors had to be swept very slowly for maximum depth and they had very poor sensitivity to copper-nickel coins and gold. They had manual tuning which was critical to adjust and prone to drift. Most of them used a VCO or fire siren type of audio tone which changed from a low growl to a squeal when a target was detected. The Surfmaster Dual Field is different. It is the result of over fifteen years of research and development. Our goal was to develop a Pulse Induction metal detector which could match the sweep speed, sensitivity, stability and ease of use of an Induction Balance VLF without responding to wet salt or mineralized ground. The Surfmaster Dual Field may be swept either quickly or slowly with virtually no loss in sensitivity. It was designed to be more sensitive to gold and copper-nickel alloys than to other metals. Dry Sand Searching: The Surfmaster Dual Field operates on the Pulse Induction principle. Unlike an induction balance detector, it does not require any ground balance adjustments. Most P.I. instruments must be swept very slowly in order to achieve maximum depth, but the Surfmaster Dual Field, does not. It was designed to have a fast target response, so it can be swept almost as quickly as an Induction Balance (VLF) detector.
