Default New in Brazil

Well, almost in Brazil. :-) I'm leaving Stockholm Friday to spend a few months there. Mostly in Rio but I'll be traveling inner areas and beaches in the south as well. I have some security concerns of using the detector on beaches in Rio. Guess I'll have to make that decision once I'm there.

I just purchased a Bounty Hunter Sharp Shooter II. It cost about twice in Brazil what it would have cost in the US but the difference was cheaper than a plane ticket. :-) It'll be waiting at a friends house when I get there.

I have used a really cheap Radio Shack detector many many years ago but it looks like the new ones now have an enormous rage of capabilities.

If anyone here uses the SS2 I'd appreciate suggestions on default settings.

Thanks,
Tim

Hi, Tim! Welcome to TQ! I undewrstand your concerns with beach hunting in Rio. I would hope there would not be a problem during the day. If you are lucky, you will need a secure place to keep your finds!

Good luck and let us know how you fare!
