Metal detecting suggestions

[Devildog]

My neighbor has a health issue that causes him serious issues with heat. This makes him do all his detecting in the winter, and he only detects old swimming holes. I don't recall the name on his detector but I do know it is completely submersible. Seeing some of the stuff he has found, it appears he knows what he is doing. If I was looking for a new one, the coil at least would be water proof, but the entire system would be even better.

If you have a chance. Ask him which one he has and let me know please. I would be forever grateful.

Haven't seen him in a few months, it would be a good excuse to check in on him.

For a budget-friendly metal detector, you might want to check out the Bounty Hunter Tracker IV. It’s pretty reliable for the price and should work well on the beach.

I was digging about in the basement and I came across my metal detector. It is a Fisher model 1280x Aquanaut. It is a divers metal detector and I have had it to 180' without issues. I bought it because I lived on Long Island and dove a lot on the wreck of the San Diego the ship sunk when it hit a mine in 1918 and sunk in 110' of water. She flipped 180º and sits keel up on the bottom. Word was a lot of "loose" gear found its way out of the wreck and into the sand on sinking. This made me buy a metal detector to see what I could find on what was called the "dark side" of the shipwreck buried in the sand.

Worked like a charm. This was the same detector used in the surf line for jewelry. I used it a lot in the sand around shipwrecks over the years and it never failed me.

Check pawn shops. Take in something you want to get rid of and see how good you are at dealing.

I checked on my friend and his health has turned worse. He is living with his daughter and I have no way to get in touch with him for now
