Hey girl, good to see you hitting it again. I have a suggestion that is in no way mentioned to be criticism. Try detecting parallel to the water starting up on dry ground then as you turn around and head back, you are a swing closer to the water. In other words, your shoulder will be always to the water, not facing or have your back to the water. What this will do for you is help the auto ground balance work in optimum mode. It will give the machine a chance to adjust to the slightly and gradually wetter sand. You will find more targets and your machine will be performing as per factory specs. I hope this helps and keep up the great video. Do we see sponsorships in your future?😆
Hi! Yea, I enjoy it. :D That's great advice! I'll have to give that a try. I did that while hunting Clearwater Beach but didn't on this hunt. Hahaha. I'll try it this weekend. Thanks for the tip! Well right now I've got 2 main sponsors, Kellyco and The Gold Digger Metal Detectors. But I've also worked with Anderson Detector Shafts and 1st Texas Products. :D
@@SheDetector Hello, I have a Garrett sea hunter 2 and notice it picking up a repeatable tone similar to Morse Code while on discrimination mode, also its picking up objects above the coil. I dont recall it picking up objects above coil nor the repeatable tones while still. Any thoughts? Thanks
Hello She Detector 😊so sorry for my awful English a.Folks , this Seahunter mark 2 is my favorite beach metal detector assumed you have the 10*14 coil. The only thing is that you have to be a bit patient in order to get the audio learning curve . Once you ve got this then this unit is very powerful and no need to dig too much crap once you are able to listen at this machine . So let me try to explain it to you : First you need a good headphone ,this is very much important . of course this is only a mono sound machine . Nevertheless this machine will tell you everything . First my settings : threshold hearable of course . Then standard mode of course , then elimination at zero . That way the machine is the most powerful . if you have some drift or parasite noise then put elimination at 2 . This is the same as daily in some delay . Then the copper coins response : In order to analyse your target you have to lift the coil until the response is the weakest .Then you sweep your coil getting slowly nearer again towards your target . If copper just next to the weakest sound you will have a sweet coming in sound and also a sweet going out . DO NOT SWEEP TOO FAST. Then very progressively as you get nearer you will have get a sweet combined to a hoarse sound . At the end you will get a saturated sound. the important is to understand that the sound is a kind of 3D evolution . if you learn to listen at this progression you will be able to know what you have got below . This approach works always no matter if your target is big or small ..Only the deepness will be modified . if silver still the same sweet sound but the coming in and out is very slightly shorter and the tone is half a note below . NOW BAD TARGETS : aluminum foils : At the very end of the detection capability you will hear a unsteady weak sound . Then the coming in and out is not sweet at all but kind of more abrupt . There is no sweetness no nice roundness of the tone . And most of all very soon you will have the hoarse sound coming as you get closer with your coil . And the saturation sound will be coming very soon too . get the hang of it and you will never want to detect on the beach with anything else . concerning iron :most of the time is is not a coin nor a ring . So you will get a double wave response winch means that you can forget about it . I hope this helps folks.And happy hunting most of all ...Now gold: I leave you the pleasure to discover 😊😊😊 Moins
Another good one, She Detector! I, too, thought that the Sea Hunter may have nudged out the Sand Shark...but just a bit...just in the strongest three ranges.Taking in to account both depths and the three highest ranges of detection(solid, yes, and barely), the SH scored 11 hits to 9 compared to the SS. However, in the lesser two audible ranges of Th and Th?...the SS scored 6 to 1 over the SH. Total audible detection, SS 15 SH 12. So...actually, over-all detection I'd have to give the nudge to the SS, even though I thought that in the upper three ranges that the SH had a stronger sound in its detection. I also believe that anybody would have a BLAST using either one of the detectors. I love looking at the chart details of your detector comparisons. From my comfy recliner, I lazily thank you for the fun. Now, thanks to your usual inspiration, I need to get up and go out to do a little "sniffing around" myself with my AT Pro. Thank you.
hello She detector 😊 . Here is for the community an air test with my Garret ATX on motion mode ,power at 10 out of 12( factory preset power ), no groundbalancing ,standard double D coil ,frequency scan done . : 1 cents (euro): 10.2 inches. 2 cent (euro) 11.82 inches . 5 cents : 12 inches . 10cents (euro): 10.6 inches . 50 cents(euro) :11.81 inches. 1euro: 12.79 inches. 2 euros :13.77 inches one silver Louis XVI :15.7 inches . I would like to stress the fact that in wet salt sand and water the performances are even better for both machines ATX and Saunter as well. let's say half an inch more . I hope this helps . Happy hunting everyone .
I just found your channel, it's a shame you no longer do videos. I just recently bought a Garrett Sea Hunter 2. I've had it out 2 times now and I absolutely love it. I have a nox 600 that I use out of the water, but in the water I'm only using the Sea Hunter. To bad, you'll never read this. It would be fun to hunt with you sometime.
Great video but especially great showing what your T-rex handle screw looked like after being exposed to salt water, I just got my new T-rex 2 days ago just waiting on my carbon fiber handle now. Your videos are relaxing to watch , Thanks again for taking time to do this video
Glad you are back safe. Rough water makes you burn fuel a lot faster. Always bring extra full fuel cans and of course a GPS as you mentioned. Bring a tow rope as well. Both for towing, and being towed. Stay safe.
Hello She detector . nice video ! I hope this will help:This Saunter is a great machine ! I have got the garret ATX too . There is a slight difference of an average of 2 inches better than the seahunter. The seahunter has a much better elimination capability on discrete mode when needed than the Garrett ATX . The seahunter keeps you in audio analysis whereas the ATX in motion mode tells you only if it is a high conductive target or a low conductive target. The non motion mode of the garret atx is the most powerful mode . But it is tricky because you always have to reset the sound very often . Also the Garrett ATX needs to be groundbalanced and you have to make a frequency scan before detecting a.The Seahunter is just pure BIG POWER on a non motion monotone mode without anything to calibrate , with this machine there is no hassle at all .This is not always easy at the first time when you use the very very performant ATX . When you do groundbalancing on wet salt water with the ATX you have to understand to be on the good lift/push pace and speed so that your machine can catch the characteristics of the ground and calibrate properly. Otherwise you would have a lot of drifting .The garret ATX is a real killer on smaller targets with the standard double D coil on motion mode . The non motion mode of the ATX is only a hyper powerful help in order to finecoarse your judgment of the target below .According to me for the buck no other detector is so much adaptable without bothering myself with plenty of options . The ATX according to me just does the job beautifully slightly on an other approach whatever the size of the target . TheATX is very much powerful .The ATX is a Flagship a.The seahunter very very good as well . And again I am very much sorry for my only scholar English .I am French passionate from the quality of these two detectors .PS :Learn to listen at your Seahunter and almost no other detector will go deeper . dialing in elimination is the same as introducing a response delay wich has as a result to loose until two inches .....
Water is not cold til it's solid LOL - We are deep into winter now in Canada so nice to watch your channel this time of year. Keep up the good work. Only 3 or 4 months till spring ;)

Good real world test comparison. I'm not sure why there are so many "air tests" I have never found anything in the air. On top of the ground and below. Thanks!
UPDATE 1 YR LATER: Still have a Sand Shark with the 8" coil but traded my CZ-5 for a Sea Hunter Mk ll in pristine condition. Can't wait to hit the beach and try it out.
I like the way you do these comparisons. You are very thorough. It makes the videos a little long, but there's a lot of information there. BTW, I got the same shirt for my birthday :). GL&HH
She Detector I know which birds they are too!They look like pigeons but they walk really fast all over the place.Lol.I went down to Clearwater Beach three weeks ago and those birds were everywhere.If you take a left instead of a right to where you went on Mandalay Ave you'll go over a bridge.On your right you'll see Sand Key Park.You may like that place and it's very beautiful as well.
LOL! Yes, like they are on fire. Hahaha. Oh yes, I've hunted there once before with Sanddigger. I didn't find crap. Like literally, I didn't even find much crap. :( But, I didn't hunt for long, like 2 or 3 hours. The weather changed and I wasn't sticking around for that.
She Detector Yea I didn't find much either at Sand Key.Kind of strange too because it's so big.It's almost as if another detectorist already combed that area over.
Hi SD,, I watched one of your videos for the first time a couple of months ago and subscribed. I received my first detector, (AT Max) last week from KellyCo and found a gold cross and ring my first week using it so now im hooked. I live on Long Island NY and want to get a pi detector for the water and wet sand. They both seem very close in performace but I am leaning towards the sea hunter only because the battery housing seems to be a better design for changing the batteries and maintenance. Just wanted to say thanks for all the great content and introducing me to a new hobby. Now I need to make room for all this MD stuff.
I put some performance conclusions for you on this wall. Happy hunting bro. AT pro is a good choice too 👌👍. You will have some erratic sounds in wet salt sand . To minimize this just groundbalance manually your detector to a slight negative value and lower the power about 20% from your usual setting. Happy hunting 👌✌
Sorry for the late response, I'm catching up! Hehehe. Well thanks for watching and subbing! :D Oh wow! How awesome, nice job! Have you purchased your PI machine yet? The sea hunter is nice, it was my first machine ever! :D If you're still in the market though, check out the Tesoro Sand Shark. It's also a PI and goes 200 feet deep just like the Sea Hunter. But, I like the Sand Shark a little more because of the coil. It makes locating the target so much easier than the Sea Hunter. The Sea Hunter has discrimination where the Sand Shark doesn't. That's the biggest difference. Otherwise, they are equal. Hahaha, yes, you'll need space for sure. Everything adds up quickly!
She Detector Thanks for the reply, after watching your husband find a necklace and 14k gold ring in your back yard i might buy the Go Find and stay home and have a beer and hunt. I see Gold Diggers is running the She Detector bundle again for the Excalibur 2. Im thinking of buying that bundle, do I need to go through one of your video links when i buy this to support your channel? Or just tell them im a subscriber. Thanks for all the great content, really enjoy it.
Hahaha. Well, he was actually swinging the Notka Impact when he found the necklace and the ring. Lucky newb. Lol. The Go Find 20 found the 4 nails and the can. Lol! Oh yes, it's a great deal! Nope, you should just be able to click the bundle on their webpage. :) They let me know how many people buy the packages. You could tell them your a subber but I don't know if that will change anything. Who knows though. :D
very neat detector comparison. Love the detector with the electronics strapped to the body. makes for a lightweight swing. M Merry Christmas from Virginia. JP
I find tiny screws at 6" depth with my $200 Teknetics Delta 4000.Recently I was given a AT Pro and even though it's features are awesome and it's performance is great I still prefer my Teknetics instead.I suppose it all depends on what's being hunted but PI machines in my opinion would be ideal for water hunts or even relics.Thanks for the great video.
Randy Reed Absolutely!Buy the T2 because it's the best performing metal detector of the Teknetics models.You won't regret it believe me.Good luck to ya and happy hunting!
I'm not surprised. Sometimes those cheaper unit will find stuff that some higher end units miss for some reason or another. It's strange. Yea, they are great for water hunts for sure. Did everything and you won't miss anything. Hahaha! Thank you!
For in the water hunting i use the Sand Shark, But this time of year my GOTO machine is the Minelab Explorer 2. Found a silver and 10k white gold ring Dec.22. Happy Holiday's to you and your family.
Explorer 2? I don't know that I've heard about that machine. But if you mean Excalibur 2, then yes, I agree with you there. But why change machines based on the season? What pros and cons have you noticed doing that? Congrats on the ring finds! Right in time for Christmas too! :D
Yes, It is the Explorer 2 . Minelab does not make it anymore. You can still find them on E-bay. $400-500. I only use the Tesoro when the water temp is warm enough. Water Temp here in Wilmington N.C. is 45* Next time you go to Kellyco ask to see the Minelab Safari. It is a GREAT Beach machine. Really does well in wet sand.
I think that you have gotten a lot better with you detecting skills... BUT the DD coil is harder to pinpoint a target that a concentric coil.. A DD coil can have the target anywhere along the centerline of the crossover of the two coils a Concentric coil it is for the most part in the center.... Always easier to pinpoint with a concentric!
Thank you! I have to give tons of credit to the machine though. The concentric coil makes locating the target much easier. Hahaha. Yea, I think you're right about the two coils. :D
thank you she for the comparison , very well done. are you going to be road testing the Whites dual field any time soon? good luck with the water hunt, I drove past the Bedford basin just outside of Halifax Nova Scotia today, and there was sea ice. yikes.
Thank you for watching it. :D I'm not lined up to test the dual field right now. The next whites machine is the beach hunter. But I can always look into testing the dual field. :D Wow sea ice!? No thank you! Try to stay warm. Hehehe.
Another great video as always wish we had your weather here it's 8 degrees here but I'm still digging a little Merry Christmas to you and your family GL&HH
Talk me off the cliff. I flooded my mine lab equinox and I’m waiting for repair and I bought a sea hunter 2. I hate not having volume control. With a wet suit it’s fine but without it is way to load! I also can’t get past digging every iron target in the state. What the heck? Should I send this Garrett sea hunter 2 detector back? Am I spoiled with the minelab? Do the beaches where you hunt have no nails, spikes etc..?
right now I use a Tesoro bandito 2 with a concentric coil and I like it a lot too. the hole in the middle sure helps locate find easy for me. keep up good work, im still relying on your tests to pick a new detector.
What you going to test next detector wise? Sorry if I overloaded you with comments. Didn't realize I had done so many. Guess I'm just a chatty guy lol.
The next machine is going to be the Detector Pro Underwater, www.thegolddigger.com/product/detector-pro-underwater-detector-8/ Looks pretty interesting. :) No worries, I don't mind! :D
Now that's a interesting machine for sure. Looks like detector electronics are in the headset! The waters off SC beaches are so merely you can't see squat unless you go offshore skin diving. But I look forward to watching as you make all testing very interesting.
Thanks for a very informative comparison. I feel the Sea Hunter did the better job .....I could definitely hear the targets louder...... kind of worried my sand shark tones won't be definable in the surf when I have waves breaking around me making loud background noise.....I probably would have gone with a different machine except for the fact that I got my sand shark at a good deal.
Thank you for watching. :D Yea, I know what you mean. :) Yea, if the waves are crashing and you come across a deep target, it could be hard to hear the faint changes in the sound. But, I think that's a potential problem with any machine. Even with my Excal, sometimes I have to press the headphone to my head to really get a good sound. But only when there's lots of wave action.
Thank you for the video!! A BIG MERRY CHRISTMAS to you folks from cold up here in Maryland! Keep hunting in 2017 and good luck!! You all take care!!!!!
Hello She detector 😊Here my air test on saunter mark 2 on standard mode, winch threshold hearable and elimination at zero with a10*14 coil : 1cent (euro) copper :7.4 inches .2 cents (euro ) copper : 9.04 inches. 5 cents (euro) copper :10.2 inches .10cents (euro):10 inches . 50cents (euro):11.02 inches . 1 euro:11.02 inches . 2 euros :12.5 inches. One big silver Louis XVI :14.9 inches . I hope this will help to have an idea about European money performances of the seahunter mark 2 .A nice day to everyone
Assumed you have the 10/14 inches coil for the Seahunter Mark2 , then you are not that much far away from a Garrett ATX concerning beach hunting . The ATX might find one euro at 16 inches deep whereas the Seahunter Mark2 is at 14 inches Folks . The seahunter Mark2 is a outstanding good and powerful metal detector. I have got both machines and I love them . The White's TDI SL is also a beach killer . Of course I have got it also ..
I love the detail you put into comparing metal detectors. You even break it down with a print out. Great video for someone who is considering buying either machine. Are you in the banking industry? Screw deteriorated with salt water, probably why marine screws are brass or stainless. Good to hear that character lost those fraudulent channels. Merry Christmas and Happy safe New Years to everyone reading this.
Thank you! Hahaha, yea I think that's my OCD. Lol! Not banking but I'm an Executive Assistant. My job revolves around making sure my CEO has all the answers to any questions he might have. Hence, the print out for anyone with questions. Hahaha. Yea, both of us were really surprised actually. Yea and I just submitted another complaint yesterday on that last channel. Hopefully it'll be taken down soon. Merry Christmas to you as well!
I've found Reale's with the sand shark a good foot down in the sand. Here's the trick. The batteries that they send with the machine are not very good. I'll try to do my best at not stating names because Duracell Ultra might think we're advertising, snicker snicker. But that Garrett looks like a good competitor also. Thank you for the comparisons. Happy Holidays and great shirt by the way that was funny.
That's awesome! What an incredible find. :D Hahahaha! Yea the Sea Hunter doesn't pretty well at finding small targets too. Depth seems about similar to the SS also. Happy Holidays to you as well. Hahaha! Thanks!
Very nice demo I think both machine have not preformed that well a lot of the targets I dig are ten or more inches down Ty I was thinking of trying a different machine and you just cross two off my list lol nice job to you both
great comparison test at the end for sure. I like that. its almost a coin flip based on your test results. I use Tesoro but based on your tests the garret is a slight nodge. ive never used a pi machine. seems they are great beach machines where water and mineralization is present. keep up good work your certainly helping me.
Stainless is definitely the way to go. I also replaced the hardware on my Raptor handle with stainless 8-32 x 1 1/2 machine screws and nylon lock nuts. If your handle has a taper where the raptor is mounted you can use a couple of those sticky pads that came with your GoPro mounting brackets instead of the supplied rubber pads. That will keep the Raptor from creeping towards the skinnier part of the handle...B
Oh yes, no doubt about that! Hahaha. It does have a taper and that's good thinking about using the sticky pads! I wouldn't have thoughts about that. :D Thanks for the tip!
Anytime. Great vids. Keep it up. I might be visiting Tampa in the near future on some family business. If/when I do I'll prolly give Clearwater Bch a shot with my MX Sport. I'll keep an eye out for you...B
Thank you. :D Oh yea you totally should. MX Sport will do well there, especially in the dry and wet-ish stuff. :D Yea and if you see me, come say hi! :D
love your videos, I have been struggling for a month on picking a sand and surf detector. I have the AT Pro for land but will be spending a lot of time in Bradenton , Anna Maria, and the Outer Banks. I can't handle the weight of the Excal, so I am enjoying your field testing. I am also going to change the screws on my t rex today!
Thank you! And thank you for watching! It's hard to find a good beach machine that won't break the bank and doesn't weigh a ton. The sand Shark was nice, I didn't find it super heavy using the standard mounting of the machine. You can even wear it hip mount if you like. Good thinking! That saltwater eats them screws up real quick! :D
Thank you! And thanks for watching. I like mine as well. I need to take it out more...never enough time in the day though. :( A belated Merry Christmas to you as well!
Thank you and thanks for watching!! There are several machines that you could get under $200. They won't have tons of bells or whistles but they will get the job done. :) Check out some Bounty Hunter machines. If you go to www.kellyco.com you will find several Bounty Hunters well under $150. From $150-$200 there are several brands that you could get, Minelab, Garrett, Teknetics, Fisher, Tesoro & Whites. All are wonderful machines. Kellyco has by far the largest number of detectors for under $200 that I've seen. If you checkout www.TheGoldDigger.com they have 6 machines that are between $149 & $200. There's nothing wrong with getting the cheapest Bounty Hunter and using that for a while. Like I said, it'll find the metal if it's there. :)
I was wondering...seeing that the silver pendant couldn't be detected, do you feel that using those detectors do you feel you missed some good silver targets? Hope you have a good holiday.
That's a good questions. But I don't think so. I'm sure there is something that's been missed due to it being super small and deep. But, I think these machines do a pretty good job at finding the targets for the most part. The Sand Shark found those three tiny little things. Granted, they were less then 6 inches but that's still pretty impressive I think. :) Thanks! I hope your holiday is nice as well! :D
Hello s.d. I've got to say your still my favourite metal detectorist out there, super cool vid, you are so lucky to live near the beach it's not so much fun for me as I live in central London England, you got me hooked on metal detecting as you was the first vid ide seen before buying my garret ace 250 anyways that's enough about myself Keepem coming girl GL&HH 👏👏👏👏👌👍👊
HI! Well thank you! And thanks for watching! Oh yes but you have so many more years of history there! You have some amazing targets just waiting to be discovered! :D Well that's great that you got into the hobby. I'm glad I got you into it. :D
Your Christmas tree lacks snow. Let me send some to you straight from Buffalo, LOL! Would like to see a comparison video of your Ex Cal II and the Garrett. Still leaning toward the Ex Cal II because I dive and it would further enhance my diving experience.
Lol! Don't you dare! You keep that mess up there. Hahaha! I've done a test with the Fisher CZ-21, the Excal, & my Garrett. You can see it here: th-cam.com/video/bMJtQwqLIpI/w-d-xo.html I didn't the same kind of test in this video. Yea, I think tons of people go with the Excal for diving.
Very interesting vid, thanks! Those chirpy birds at the beginning were starting to get on my last nerve, though, as they made it hard to hear the md signal. Interesting comparison, too.... from that I'd def. pick the Sea Hunter... although you may have been hearing the signals better than they sounded on the vid. Looking forward to your next vid... Merry Xmas!
Thank you! And thanks for watching. :) Hahaha, I know what you mean. Actually, I couldn't hear them all. I wasn't wearing the headphones at all because I put them right on my camera. I could only hear the sounds that were solid hits for the most part. :) A belated Merry Christmas to you as well!
Excellent video. I would love to see a test with the T2 (Technetics) Im going to purchase one in a couple of months and would like to make sure im making the right investment. Keep up the great work. Looking forward to seeing more.
New to this and I want something I can take into Saltwater so I am looking at the Sand Shark. Should I buy the Sand Shark for Dives and something like the guy below using a $200 Teknetics 4000 for dry land. Keep up the good work, will let you know when I find the Motherload.
You CAN use it on land but I don't know that I would recommend it for all land hunting. If you're hunting a curb strip, school, or park, I wouldn't recommend it. There will be targets everywhere and the majority will be garbage. You'll be digging all day and only go a few feet. That's if you leave your disc at 0. But, if you're able to get a permission for some farm land where the only thing that ever goes out there are cows, that would probably be all right. I don't imagine there will be a bunch of garbage to worry about.
No problem. If you're wanting to hunt on both land and at the beach, with the same machine, I wouldn't recommend a PI. They will pick up every little bit of metal, good AND bad. You'd be better off with the AT Pro or AT Max.
I wish you would do something similar with the Minelab Excalibur ii. I feel that the Excalibur may just edge those other two out, but I may be wrong. Thank you for the effort you put into this video. That screw at the end of your vid is screwed, literally! Regards to you.
does your sand shark have a broken threshold where it's not a continuous hum mine has a broken threshold I'm fixing to send it in to make sure that it's ok or if there's something wrong with it
Ok, I have 3 questions. Do you only search beaches? Do you watch nuggetnoggin on TH-cam? and what brand of metel detector do you feel that you get better finds with?
Answers: 1) nope. I've done some land hunts before, but not many. I'm 90% beach hunter. 2) Of course! He's great! I really enjoy his river hunts...cause of the water. Hahaha. :) 3) Minelab Excalibur all the way. I've found ALL my rings with the Excal. :)
Great test!!!! Can you get your hands on the high end detectors like the Fisher Pulse 8X vs Xcal. Wow sea water and oxidation. Ate ithe screw right up. Stainless yeahhhh! Merry Christmas!!!
Thank you! I can definitely try. I don't see why not. :D It'll be a few weeks though since I've got a few other machines lined up for testing already. Yea it's crazy how little screw was left. Hahaha. Merry Christmas to you as well.
Happy New Year to you and I could hear you much better but the detector was not that loud until the bird stop making noise lol. I think the Garrett is much better it pick up targets a lot better
Happy new year to you as well! Thanks! hahaha, those birds SUCK!!!! They never shut up! It's a toss up for me honestly. I like them both in regards to locating the targets but the Sand Shark pin points them MUCH better. :)
Como siempre un vídeo fantástico , buena comparativa de esas máquinas pero me quedo con la excalibur 2 que para mí es la mejor opción para playa . un saludo y Felices fiestas.
Evan Lynch won. His daughter has been wanting a detector for a while. So much so that she made her own out of some wood pieces and she would pretend around the house and the yard. :D
Well, I've not used it so I'm not positive. But if you're looking to get started with something cheap, Bounty Hunter has several machines to pick from. I'm used a Fisher and it's made by the same people that make Bounty Hunter. The Fisher is a great machine. The BH will find the metal if it's there that's for sure. It'll be a good starter machine I think. But make sure not to get the box wet. You MIGHT be able to get the coil wet, but not the box. Good luck!
My name is Chris Rivas from San Antonio Texas just purchased my brand new Garrett Sea Hunter Mark II it's a incredible machine and I purchase the 10 x14 Pro performance search coil it is a incredible machine but bigger coiled digs a lot deeper in the ground and hits targets very deep very sensitive to gold I will be going to Florida this summer on the Treasure Coast hoping to find some golden doubloons are silver coins I noticed a lot of people in these videos they do not go in the water I don't know if they're scared or worried or they just scared to go in the water of Florida I will be going in the water of Florida my hotel is right by the water so I will be going in the water and on the sand with some cold beer handsome good-looking Florida chicks
All the best She Detector, hope you and your man had a wonderful Christmas and wish you all the best with your finds in 2017, looking forward to more of your vidsGL+HH
Hey girl, good to see you hitting it again. I have a suggestion that is in no way mentioned to be criticism. Try detecting parallel to the water starting up on dry ground then as you turn around and head back, you are a swing closer to the water. In other words, your shoulder will be always to the water, not facing or have your back to the water. What this will do for you is help the auto ground balance work in optimum mode. It will give the machine a chance to adjust to the slightly and gradually wetter sand. You will find more targets and your machine will be performing as per factory specs.
I hope this helps and keep up the great video. Do we see sponsorships in your future?😆
Hi! Yea, I enjoy it. :D That's great advice! I'll have to give that a try. I did that while hunting Clearwater Beach but didn't on this hunt. Hahaha. I'll try it this weekend. Thanks for the tip! Well right now I've got 2 main sponsors, Kellyco and The Gold Digger Metal Detectors. But I've also worked with Anderson Detector Shafts and 1st Texas Products. :D
@@SheDetector Hello, I have a Garrett sea hunter 2 and notice it picking up a repeatable tone similar to Morse Code while on discrimination mode, also its picking up objects above the coil. I dont recall it picking up objects above coil nor the repeatable tones while still. Any thoughts? Thanks
I just got my first detector for this Christmas and I found you. Ever sense I cant stop watching your channel
Awesome! Congrats on the detector and welcome to the hobby! I'm glad you found me! :D
Hello She Detector 😊so sorry for my awful English a.Folks , this Seahunter mark 2 is my favorite beach metal detector assumed you have the 10*14 coil. The only thing is that you have to be a bit patient in order to get the audio learning curve . Once you ve got this then this unit is very powerful and no need to dig too much crap once you are able to listen at this machine . So let me try to explain it to you : First you need a good headphone ,this is very much important . of course this is only a mono sound machine . Nevertheless this machine will tell you everything . First my settings : threshold hearable of course . Then standard mode of course , then elimination at zero . That way the machine is the most powerful . if you have some drift or parasite noise then put elimination at 2 . This is the same as daily in some delay . Then the copper coins response : In order to analyse your target you have to lift the coil until the response is the weakest .Then you sweep your coil getting slowly nearer again towards your target . If copper just next to the weakest sound you will have a sweet coming in sound and also a sweet going out . DO NOT SWEEP TOO FAST. Then very progressively as you get nearer you will have get a sweet combined to a hoarse sound . At the end you will get a saturated sound. the important is to understand that the sound is a kind of 3D evolution . if you learn to listen at this progression you will be able to know what you have got below . This approach works always no matter if your target is big or small ..Only the deepness will be modified . if silver still the same sweet sound but the coming in and out is very slightly shorter and the tone is half a note below . NOW BAD TARGETS : aluminum foils : At the very end of the detection capability you will hear a unsteady weak sound . Then the coming in and out is not sweet at all but kind of more abrupt . There is no sweetness no nice roundness of the tone . And most of all very soon you will have the hoarse sound coming as you get closer with your coil . And the saturation sound will be coming very soon too . get the hang of it and you will never want to detect on the beach with anything else . concerning iron :most of the time is is not a coin nor a ring . So you will get a double wave response winch means that you can forget about it . I hope this helps folks.And happy hunting most of all ...Now gold: I leave you the pleasure to discover 😊😊😊

I live in the Ft Lauderdale area and just bought a AT Pro. Going to give Metal Detecting a go as a hobby. Enjoyed the video!
Instablaster...
Lovely there..thanks for the demo and for cleaning the beaches!
Another good one, She Detector! I, too, thought that the Sea Hunter may have nudged out the Sand Shark...but just a bit...just in the strongest three ranges.Taking in to account both depths and the three highest ranges of detection(solid, yes, and barely), the SH scored 11 hits to 9 compared to the SS. However, in the lesser two audible ranges of Th and Th?...the SS scored 6 to 1 over the SH. Total audible detection, SS 15 SH 12. So...actually, over-all detection I'd have to give the nudge to the SS, even though I thought that in the upper three ranges that the SH had a stronger sound in its detection. I also believe that anybody would have a BLAST using either one of the detectors. I love looking at the chart details of your detector comparisons. From my comfy recliner, I lazily thank you for the fun. Now, thanks to your usual inspiration, I need to get up and go out to do a little "sniffing around" myself with my AT Pro. Thank you.
I really appreciated your time and the detail and thoroughness of your comparison done in the field.
One of the best comparisons I have ever seen, great video, congratulations.
hello She detector 😊 . Here is for the community an air test with my Garret ATX on motion mode ,power at 10 out of 12( factory preset power ), no groundbalancing ,standard double D coil ,frequency scan done . : 1 cents (euro): 10.2 inches. 2 cent (euro) 11.82 inches . 5 cents : 12 inches . 10cents (euro): 10.6 inches . 50 cents(euro) :11.81 inches. 1euro: 12.79 inches. 2 euros :13.77 inches one silver Louis XVI :15.7 inches . I would like to stress the fact that in wet salt sand and water the performances are even better for both machines ATX and Saunter as well. let's say half an inch more . I hope this helps . Happy hunting everyone .
I just found your channel, it's a shame you no longer do videos. I just recently bought a Garrett Sea Hunter 2. I've had it out 2 times now and I absolutely love it. I have a nox 600 that I use out of the water, but in the water I'm only using the Sea Hunter. To bad, you'll never read this. It would be fun to hunt with you sometime.
Great video but especially great showing what your T-rex handle screw looked like after being exposed to salt water, I just got my new T-rex 2 days ago just waiting on my carbon fiber handle now. Your videos are relaxing to watch , Thanks again for taking time to do this video
Glad you are back safe. Rough water makes you burn fuel a lot faster. Always bring extra full fuel cans and of course a GPS as you mentioned. Bring a tow rope as well. Both for towing, and being towed. Stay safe.
Yes it sure does. We know for next time for sure...which is never. Hahaha!
Happy Holidays to She and all who read the comments.
Happy Holidays to you as well! :D
glad your showing this to others, if people don't check they lose out on gold, good job!
Right you are! Thanks and thank you for watching!
Nice video, I enjoyed watching you compare the two machines. Thanks for sharing.GL&HH
Thank you! Yea, I was surprised by the results, just like last time. Hahaha.
Hello She detector . nice video ! I hope this will help:This Saunter is a great machine ! I have got the garret ATX too . There is a slight difference of an average of 2 inches better than the seahunter. The seahunter has a much better elimination capability on discrete mode when needed than the Garrett ATX . The seahunter keeps you in audio analysis whereas the ATX in motion mode tells you only if it is a high conductive target or a low conductive target. The non motion mode of the garret atx is the most powerful mode . But it is tricky because you always have to reset the sound very often . Also the Garrett ATX needs to be groundbalanced and you have to make a frequency scan before detecting a.The Seahunter is just pure BIG POWER on a non motion monotone mode without anything to calibrate , with this machine there is no hassle at all .This is not always easy at the first time when you use the very very performant ATX . When you do groundbalancing on wet salt water with the ATX you have to understand to be on the good lift/push pace and speed so that your machine can catch the characteristics of the ground and calibrate properly. Otherwise you would have a lot of drifting .The garret ATX is a real killer on smaller targets with the standard double D coil on motion mode . The non motion mode of the ATX is only a hyper powerful help in order to finecoarse your judgment of the target below .According to me for the buck no other detector is so much adaptable without bothering myself with plenty of options . The ATX according to me just does the job beautifully slightly on an other approach whatever the size of the target . TheATX is very much powerful .The ATX is a Flagship a.The seahunter very very good as well . And again I am very much sorry for my only scholar English .I am French passionate from the quality of these two detectors .PS :Learn to listen at your Seahunter and almost no other detector will go deeper . dialing in elimination is the same as introducing a response delay wich has as a result to loose until two inches .....
Water is not cold til it's solid LOL - We are deep into winter now in Canada so nice to watch your channel this time of year. Keep up the good work. Only 3 or 4 months till spring ;)
Lol! Yea hopefully you're staying warm way up there! :D Hahaha, spring is so far away! Boo!!!!

WOW, those are wonderful tips! I'll have to remember these the next time I take my Sea Hunter our. Thank you and thanks for watching!
Thank you for another great video and comparison of the Tesoro and Garrett metal detectors. Good tip for the rusting Rex screw too.
Thank you for watching! :D
Thanks for great job on the comparisons
You explained the test quiet well
Thank you! And thanks for watching!
Good real world test comparison. I'm not sure why there are so many "air tests" I have never found anything in the air. On top of the ground and below. Thanks!
Thank you! Lol! You make a good point. I've not found anything in the air either! Hahaha.
You put a lot of work into your research - great job. You have a Merry Christmas, too.
Thank you. I want to make sure they each get a fair comparison. :D Merry Christmas to you as well. :D
I've got a Sand Shark but I have to admit, I'm really digging the tone of that Sea Hunter MK II. Thanks for the video.
UPDATE 1 YR LATER:
Still have a Sand Shark with the 8" coil but traded my CZ-5 for a Sea Hunter Mk ll in pristine condition. Can't wait to hit the beach and try it out.
Merry Christmas to you guys too. Thanks for another educational video.
Merry Christmas to you! Thank you for watching. :D
Nice comparison..well done! Merry Christmas!
Thank you! And Merry Christmas to you as well.
I like the way you do these comparisons. You are very thorough. It makes the videos a little long, but there's a lot of information there. BTW, I got the same shirt for my birthday :). GL&HH
Thank you! Yea, I wish I could shorten the comparison. I suppose I could talk less. Lol! Hahaha, I love my shirt! Hahaha.
Cool video. Was interesting seeing this detector in action. Dazz from Australia
Darren Barnes A
Thank you. And thanks for watching! And hello all the way in Australia!
Again..... nice video. You did a bang up job . Merry Christmas to you and the family.
Thank you! And thanks for watching. :D Merry Christmas to you as well.
Good video I can see why alot of folks use Excalibur it seems to out perform the others so far.
I agree with you there. Every ring I've found to date has been with the Excal so far. Coincidence? Maybe. But maybe not. ;)
Seahunter hands down was louder than the first detector. Why do you think the discrete setting was not as loud as the first setting?
this was a very good test, you did a super job. ill look for more test from you. thumbs up!
That sand piper was going nuts. lol
Is there a bird chirping nearby or is that the metal detector?
It's the birds nearby. They tend to be extremely loud in the morning...the jerks. Hahaha!
She Detector I know which birds they are too!They look like pigeons but they walk really fast all over the place.Lol.I went down to Clearwater Beach three weeks ago and those birds were everywhere.If you take a left instead of a right to where you went on Mandalay Ave you'll go over a bridge.On your right you'll see Sand Key Park.You may like that place and it's very beautiful as well.
LOL! Yes, like they are on fire. Hahaha. Oh yes, I've hunted there once before with Sanddigger. I didn't find crap. Like literally, I didn't even find much crap. :( But, I didn't hunt for long, like 2 or 3 hours. The weather changed and I wasn't sticking around for that.
She Detector Yea I didn't find much either at Sand Key.Kind of strange too because it's so big.It's almost as if another detectorist already combed that area over.
Thanks for the comparison video. Wish that t-shirt was up here! lol
You're very welcome. Thank you for watching. :D Hahaha, it's it an awesome shirt? :D
Hi SD,,
I watched one of your videos for the first time a couple of months ago and subscribed. I received my first detector, (AT Max) last week from KellyCo and found a gold cross and ring my first week using it so now im hooked. I live on Long Island NY and want to get a pi detector for the water and wet sand. They both seem very close in performace but I am leaning towards the sea hunter only because the battery housing seems to be a better design for changing the batteries and maintenance. Just wanted to say thanks for all the great content and introducing me to a new hobby. Now I need to make room for all this MD stuff.
I put some performance conclusions for you on this wall. Happy hunting bro. AT pro is a good choice too 👌👍. You will have some erratic sounds in wet salt sand . To minimize this just groundbalance manually your detector to a slight negative value and lower the power about 20% from your usual setting. Happy hunting 👌✌
Sorry for the late response, I'm catching up! Hehehe. Well thanks for watching and subbing! :D Oh wow! How awesome, nice job! Have you purchased your PI machine yet? The sea hunter is nice, it was my first machine ever! :D If you're still in the market though, check out the Tesoro Sand Shark. It's also a PI and goes 200 feet deep just like the Sea Hunter. But, I like the Sand Shark a little more because of the coil. It makes locating the target so much easier than the Sea Hunter. The Sea Hunter has discrimination where the Sand Shark doesn't. That's the biggest difference. Otherwise, they are equal. Hahaha, yes, you'll need space for sure. Everything adds up quickly!
She Detector
Thanks for the reply, after watching your husband find a necklace and 14k gold ring in your back yard i might buy the Go Find and stay home and have a beer and hunt. I see Gold Diggers is running the She Detector bundle again for the Excalibur 2. Im thinking of buying that bundle, do I need to go through one of your video links when i buy this to support your channel? Or just tell them im a subscriber. Thanks for all the great content, really enjoy it.
Hahaha. Well, he was actually swinging the Notka Impact when he found the necklace and the ring. Lucky newb. Lol. The Go Find 20 found the 4 nails and the can. Lol! Oh yes, it's a great deal! Nope, you should just be able to click the bundle on their webpage. :) They let me know how many people buy the packages. You could tell them your a subber but I don't know if that will change anything. Who knows though. :D
very neat detector comparison. Love the detector with the electronics strapped to the body. makes for a lightweight swing. M Merry Christmas from Virginia. JP
Thank you! Yes, lightening the load make for easier hunting for sure. :D Merry Christmas to you all the way in Virginia. :D
I find tiny screws at 6" depth with my $200 Teknetics Delta 4000.Recently I was given a AT Pro and even though it's features are awesome and it's performance is great I still prefer my Teknetics instead.I suppose it all depends on what's being hunted but PI machines in my opinion would be ideal for water hunts or even relics.Thanks for the great video.
Im going to buy a T2 in a couple of months and your comment gives me hope im making the right decision.
Randy Reed Absolutely!Buy the T2 because it's the best performing metal detector of the Teknetics models.You won't regret it believe me.Good luck to ya and happy hunting!
I'm not surprised. Sometimes those cheaper unit will find stuff that some higher end units miss for some reason or another. It's strange. Yea, they are great for water hunts for sure. Did everything and you won't miss anything. Hahaha! Thank you!
Nice job She D!
Thank you! :D
love how u keep the beach clean. tfs
For in the water hunting i use the Sand Shark, But this time of year my GOTO machine is the Minelab Explorer 2.
Found a silver and 10k white gold ring Dec.22.
Happy Holiday's to you and your family.
Explorer 2? I don't know that I've heard about that machine. But if you mean Excalibur 2, then yes, I agree with you there. But why change machines based on the season? What pros and cons have you noticed doing that? Congrats on the ring finds! Right in time for Christmas too! :D
Yes, It is the Explorer 2 . Minelab does not make it anymore. You can still find them on E-bay. $400-500.
I only use the Tesoro when the water temp is warm enough. Water Temp here in Wilmington N.C. is 45* Next time you go to Kellyco ask to see the Minelab Safari. It is a GREAT Beach machine. Really does well in wet sand.
Oh I gotcha. That's cold!!!! Ok, I'll check it out for sure. Thanks for the info.
I think that you have gotten a lot better with you detecting skills... BUT the DD coil is harder to pinpoint a target that a concentric coil.. A DD coil can have the target anywhere along the centerline of the crossover of the two coils a Concentric coil it is for the most part in the center.... Always easier to pinpoint with a concentric!
Thank you! I have to give tons of credit to the machine though. The concentric coil makes locating the target much easier. Hahaha. Yea, I think you're right about the two coils. :D
Great video! Loved the demo.
Thank you! And thanks for watching. :D
thank you she for the comparison , very well done. are you going to be road testing the Whites dual field any time soon? good luck with the water hunt, I drove past the Bedford basin just outside of Halifax Nova Scotia today, and there was sea ice. yikes.
Thank you for watching it. :D I'm not lined up to test the dual field right now. The next whites machine is the beach hunter. But I can always look into testing the dual field. :D Wow sea ice!? No thank you! Try to stay warm. Hehehe.
Another great video as always wish we had your weather here it's 8 degrees here but I'm still digging a little Merry Christmas to you and your family GL&HH
Thank you! Oh man, that's cold! Hahaha. Try to stay warm. And Merry Christmas to you as well!
With the seahunter, the standard trash setting is the way to go I guess? What do you think?
Talk me off the cliff. I flooded my mine lab equinox and I’m waiting for repair and I bought a sea hunter 2. I hate not having volume control. With a wet suit it’s fine but without it is way to load! I also can’t get past digging every iron target in the state. What the heck? Should I send this Garrett sea hunter 2 detector back? Am I spoiled with the minelab? Do the beaches where you hunt have no nails, spikes etc..?
right now I use a Tesoro bandito 2 with a concentric coil and I like it a lot too. the hole in the middle sure helps locate find easy for me. keep up good work, im still relying on your tests to pick a new detector.
Oh yes, I love that coil. :D
What you going to test next detector wise? Sorry if I overloaded you with comments. Didn't realize I had done so many. Guess I'm just a chatty guy lol.
The next machine is going to be the Detector Pro Underwater, www.thegolddigger.com/product/detector-pro-underwater-detector-8/ Looks pretty interesting. :) No worries, I don't mind! :D
Now that's a interesting machine for sure. Looks like detector electronics are in the headset! The waters off SC beaches are so merely you can't see squat unless you go offshore skin diving. But I look forward to watching as you make all testing very interesting.
Merky waters. Sorry stupid spell correct struck
I wonder what depth you would get if you changed the pulse width on the Sand Shark
Thanks for a very informative comparison. I feel the Sea Hunter did the better job .....I could definitely hear the targets louder...... kind of worried my sand shark tones won't be definable in the surf when I have waves breaking around me making loud background noise.....I probably would have gone with a different machine except for the fact that I got my sand shark at a good deal.
Thank you for watching. :D Yea, I know what you mean. :) Yea, if the waves are crashing and you come across a deep target, it could be hard to hear the faint changes in the sound. But, I think that's a potential problem with any machine. Even with my Excal, sometimes I have to press the headphone to my head to really get a good sound. But only when there's lots of wave action.
Thank you for the video!! A BIG MERRY CHRISTMAS to you folks from cold up here in Maryland! Keep hunting in 2017 and good luck!! You all take care!!!!!
Thank you for watching it! :D Merry Christmas to you as well...all the way in freezing Maryland. Lol! Thanks, good luck to you as well.
Hello She detector 😊Here my air test on saunter mark 2 on standard mode, winch threshold hearable and elimination at zero with a10*14 coil : 1cent (euro) copper :7.4 inches .2 cents (euro ) copper : 9.04 inches. 5 cents (euro) copper :10.2 inches .10cents (euro):10 inches . 50cents (euro):11.02 inches . 1 euro:11.02 inches . 2 euros :12.5 inches. One big silver Louis XVI :14.9 inches . I hope this will help to have an idea about European money performances of the seahunter mark 2 .A nice day to everyone
Wow! Merci! did you do the same test on wet sand?
Assumed you have the 10/14 inches coil for the Seahunter Mark2 , then you are not that much far away from a Garrett ATX concerning beach hunting . The ATX might find one euro at 16 inches deep whereas the Seahunter Mark2 is at 14 inches Folks . The seahunter Mark2 is a outstanding good and powerful metal detector. I have got both machines and I love them . The White's TDI SL is also a beach killer . Of course I have got it also ..
Great adventure thanks for the comparisons with metal detectors 👍
Thank you! And thanks for watching!
I love the detail you put into comparing metal detectors. You even break it down with a print out. Great video for someone who is considering buying either machine. Are you in the banking industry? Screw deteriorated with salt water, probably why marine screws are brass or stainless. Good to hear that character lost those fraudulent channels. Merry Christmas and Happy safe New Years to everyone reading this.
Thank you! Hahaha, yea I think that's my OCD. Lol! Not banking but I'm an Executive Assistant. My job revolves around making sure my CEO has all the answers to any questions he might have. Hence, the print out for anyone with questions. Hahaha. Yea, both of us were really surprised actually. Yea and I just submitted another complaint yesterday on that last channel. Hopefully it'll be taken down soon. Merry Christmas to you as well!
Happy holidays to you and yours .
And a belated Happy Holidays to you as well! :D
great video test- much appreciated
Good comparison, glad you explained and not argued...lol
Thank you! Lol!
I've found Reale's with the sand shark a good foot down in the sand. Here's the trick. The batteries that they send with the machine are not very good. I'll try to do my best at not stating names because Duracell Ultra might think we're advertising, snicker snicker. But that Garrett looks like a good competitor also. Thank you for the comparisons. Happy Holidays and great shirt by the way that was funny.
That's awesome! What an incredible find. :D Hahahaha! Yea the Sea Hunter doesn't pretty well at finding small targets too. Depth seems about similar to the SS also. Happy Holidays to you as well. Hahaha! Thanks!
Very nice demo I think both machine have not preformed that well a lot of the targets I dig are ten or more inches down Ty I was thinking of trying a different machine and you just cross two off my list lol nice job to you both
Thank you! Wow really? You're area must be really sanded in then? Hahaha, well at least I was able to assist in some way. :D Thanks for watching.
great comparison test at the end for sure. I like that. its almost a coin flip based on your test results. I use Tesoro but based on your tests the garret is a slight nodge. ive never used a pi machine. seems they are great beach machines where water and mineralization is present. keep up good work your certainly helping me.
Thank you! Yea, they were pretty close for sure.
Your tests help for sure. I'm still watching!
Merry Christmas!
Belated Merry Christmas to you too!
merry Christmas SHE DETECTOR
Merry Christmas to you as well!
Stainless is definitely the way to go. I also replaced the hardware on my Raptor handle with stainless 8-32 x 1 1/2 machine screws and nylon lock nuts. If your handle has a taper where the raptor is mounted you can use a couple of those sticky pads that came with your GoPro mounting brackets instead of the supplied rubber pads. That will keep the Raptor from creeping towards the skinnier part of the handle...B
Oh yes, no doubt about that! Hahaha. It does have a taper and that's good thinking about using the sticky pads! I wouldn't have thoughts about that. :D Thanks for the tip!
Anytime. Great vids. Keep it up. I might be visiting Tampa in the near future on some family business. If/when I do I'll prolly give Clearwater Bch a shot with my MX Sport. I'll keep an eye out for you...B
Thank you. :D Oh yea you totally should. MX Sport will do well there, especially in the dry and wet-ish stuff. :D Yea and if you see me, come say hi! :D
Will do...B
love your videos, I have been struggling for a month on picking a sand and surf detector. I have the AT Pro for land but will be spending a lot of time in Bradenton , Anna Maria, and the Outer Banks. I can't handle the weight of the Excal, so I am enjoying your field testing. I am also going to change the screws on my t rex today!
Thank you! And thank you for watching! It's hard to find a good beach machine that won't break the bank and doesn't weigh a ton. The sand Shark was nice, I didn't find it super heavy using the standard mounting of the machine. You can even wear it hip mount if you like. Good thinking! That saltwater eats them screws up real quick! :D
Awesome! Good comparison test She Detector! Thanks for sharing. Still like my Sea Hunter. Merry Christmas to you and your loved ones. GL&HH 👍 😊 Arty
Thank you! And thanks for watching. I like mine as well. I need to take it out more...never enough time in the day though. :( A belated Merry Christmas to you as well!
Great video, are you still using the Tesoro?
love you videos and finding random thing I'm definitely getting a metal detector on my birthday but don't know which model
Thank you and thanks for watching!! There are several machines that you could get under $200. They won't have tons of bells or whistles but they will get the job done. :) Check out some Bounty Hunter machines. If you go to www.kellyco.com you will find several Bounty Hunters well under $150. From $150-$200 there are several brands that you could get, Minelab, Garrett, Teknetics, Fisher, Tesoro & Whites. All are wonderful machines. Kellyco has by far the largest number of detectors for under $200 that I've seen. If you checkout www.TheGoldDigger.com they have 6 machines that are between $149 & $200. There's nothing wrong with getting the cheapest Bounty Hunter and using that for a while. Like I said, it'll find the metal if it's there. :)
I was wondering...seeing that the silver pendant couldn't be detected, do you feel that using those detectors do you feel you missed some good silver targets?
Hope you have a good holiday.
That's a good questions. But I don't think so. I'm sure there is something that's been missed due to it being super small and deep. But, I think these machines do a pretty good job at finding the targets for the most part. The Sand Shark found those three tiny little things. Granted, they were less then 6 inches but that's still pretty impressive I think. :) Thanks! I hope your holiday is nice as well! :D
Great video and comparison but I'd like to see some more gold rings. Ringsalot was on a roll!
Thank you! Yes, me too! I'll have to get Ringer out soon, I'm having withdrawals. Hahaha.
for the pulse induction nothing could beat the good old SeaHunter Mark 2 ...
Keep up the great work
Thank you! And thank for watching. :D
Hello s.d. I've got to say your still my favourite metal detectorist out there, super cool vid, you are so lucky to live near the beach it's not so much fun for me as I live in central London England, you got me hooked on metal detecting as you was the first vid ide seen before buying my garret ace 250 anyways that's enough about myself
Keepem coming girl GL&HH 👏👏👏👏👌👍👊
HI! Well thank you! And thanks for watching! Oh yes but you have so many more years of history there! You have some amazing targets just waiting to be discovered! :D Well that's great that you got into the hobby. I'm glad I got you into it. :D
bonito video y muy buenas pruebas,enhoeabuena y felices fiestas,un beso desde Cordoba,España.
¡Gracias! Y gracias por mirar. Felices fiestas a usted también. Y hola todo el camino en España!
I found a 1945 mercury dime on a beach I know was hunted several times before I found it deep down with my sea hunter. They are good machines.
Oh wow! That's awesome! I agree, they are very good machines especially if you really listen to them. :D
Your Christmas tree lacks snow. Let me send some to you straight from Buffalo, LOL! Would like to see a comparison video of your Ex Cal II and the Garrett. Still leaning toward the Ex Cal II because I dive and it would further enhance my diving experience.
Lol! Don't you dare! You keep that mess up there. Hahaha! I've done a test with the Fisher CZ-21, the Excal, & my Garrett. You can see it here: th-cam.com/video/bMJtQwqLIpI/w-d-xo.html I didn't the same kind of test in this video. Yea, I think tons of people go with the Excal for diving.
Good,video. I am still biased. Whites Seahunter DF?
Thank you! And thanks for watching!
Very interesting vid, thanks! Those chirpy birds at the beginning were starting to get on my last nerve, though, as they made it hard to hear the md signal. Interesting comparison, too.... from that I'd def. pick the Sea Hunter... although you may have been hearing the signals better than they sounded on the vid. Looking forward to your next vid... Merry Xmas!
Thank you! And thanks for watching. :) Hahaha, I know what you mean. Actually, I couldn't hear them all. I wasn't wearing the headphones at all because I put them right on my camera. I could only hear the sounds that were solid hits for the most part. :) A belated Merry Christmas to you as well!
Excellent video. I would love to see a test with the T2 (Technetics) Im going to purchase one in a couple of months and would like to make sure im making the right investment.
Keep up the great work. Looking forward to seeing more.
Thank you! Yea, I've heard good things about that machine. :) I'll add that one to my list of machines to try out. Thank you for watching!
New to this and I want something I can take into Saltwater so I am looking at the Sand Shark. Should I buy the Sand Shark for Dives and something like the guy below using a $200 Teknetics 4000 for dry land. Keep up the good work, will let you know when I find the Motherload.
If salt water go for : ctx 3030 / Garrett ATX/ Whites TDI SL / Excalibur 2 / and of course garret saunter mark 2 with the 10*14coil .
Can I use the sea hunter in dirt and not in water ?????
You CAN use it on land but I don't know that I would recommend it for all land hunting. If you're hunting a curb strip, school, or park, I wouldn't recommend it. There will be targets everywhere and the majority will be garbage. You'll be digging all day and only go a few feet. That's if you leave your disc at 0. But, if you're able to get a permission for some farm land where the only thing that ever goes out there are cows, that would probably be all right. I don't imagine there will be a bunch of garbage to worry about.
She Detector thank you very much for your input,,, I do own a AT PRO and wanted to purchase a pi detecter,,,, I'm also interested in the AT MAX
No problem. If you're wanting to hunt on both land and at the beach, with the same machine, I wouldn't recommend a PI. They will pick up every little bit of metal, good AND bad. You'd be better off with the AT Pro or AT Max.
I wish you would do something similar with the Minelab Excalibur ii. I feel that the Excalibur may just edge those other two out, but I may be wrong. Thank you for the effort you put into this video. That screw at the end of your vid is screwed, literally! Regards to you.
does your sand shark have a broken threshold where it's not a continuous hum mine has a broken threshold I'm fixing to send it in to make sure that it's ok or if there's something wrong with it
It is a broken threshold. I think yours is probably working normally. :)
Ok, I have 3 questions. Do you only search beaches? Do you watch nuggetnoggin on TH-cam? and what brand of metel detector do you feel that you get better finds with?
Answers: 1) nope. I've done some land hunts before, but not many. I'm 90% beach hunter. 2) Of course! He's great! I really enjoy his river hunts...cause of the water. Hahaha. :) 3) Minelab Excalibur all the way. I've found ALL my rings with the Excal. :)
great video & happy new year I hope 2017 is great for you!!
thank you! I hope 2017 is an amazing year for you as well!
Great test!!!! Can you get your hands on the high end detectors like the Fisher Pulse 8X vs Xcal. Wow sea water and oxidation. Ate ithe screw right up. Stainless yeahhhh! Merry Christmas!!!
Thank you! I can definitely try. I don't see why not. :D It'll be a few weeks though since I've got a few other machines lined up for testing already. Yea it's crazy how little screw was left. Hahaha. Merry Christmas to you as well.
Happy New Year to you and I could hear you much better but the detector was not that loud until the bird stop making noise lol. I think the Garrett is much better it pick up targets a lot better
Happy new year to you as well! Thanks! hahaha, those birds SUCK!!!! They never shut up! It's a toss up for me honestly. I like them both in regards to locating the targets but the Sand Shark pin points them MUCH better. :)
Happy Christmas :-)
Happy Christmas to you as well!
I dont like my Discovery 1100 after watching all the fancy Garrett you have. hehe :)
what do you use to record your videos and what mic. It must be waterproof mic.
I use a GoPro Hero 4 Silver. No external mic, just the one on the camera itself. But, I'll going to buy a mic soon and try that out. :)
Hi She detector!! Kisses of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil!!😘😘😘😘😘😘👍👍👍👍👍😎😎
Como siempre un vídeo fantástico , buena comparativa de esas máquinas pero me quedo con la excalibur 2 que para mí es la mejor opción para playa . un saludo y Felices fiestas.
¡Muchas gracias! Y gracias por mirar. Sí, entiendo lo que quieres decir. Me encanta mi Excalibur II también.
so what happen to the detector giveaway?
Evan Lynch won. His daughter has been wanting a detector for a while. So much so that she made her own out of some wood pieces and she would pretend around the house and the yard. :D
is The bounty hunter gold digger any good, it's like 50 bucks on amazon and I'm looking into a detector inexpensive just to get started. :)
Well, I've not used it so I'm not positive. But if you're looking to get started with something cheap, Bounty Hunter has several machines to pick from. I'm used a Fisher and it's made by the same people that make Bounty Hunter. The Fisher is a great machine. The BH will find the metal if it's there that's for sure. It'll be a good starter machine I think. But make sure not to get the box wet. You MIGHT be able to get the coil wet, but not the box. Good luck!
She Detector thanks !
hmmmm good test,, but i still favor the garrett
EXCALIBUR 2 HOLDS VALUE IF YOU DECIDE TO SELL IT...THAT'S A BIG BONUS THERE
the silver pendant was very faint on the normal seeing but I could still hear the change in tone.
Yea, and some times it's really hard to tell. You have to really be listening and paying attention.
My name is Chris Rivas from San Antonio Texas just purchased my brand new Garrett Sea Hunter Mark II it's a incredible machine and I purchase the 10 x14 Pro performance search coil it is a incredible machine but bigger coiled digs a lot deeper in the ground and hits targets very deep very sensitive to gold I will be going to Florida this summer on the Treasure Coast hoping to find some golden doubloons are silver coins I noticed a lot of people in these videos they do not go in the water I don't know if they're scared or worried or they just scared to go in the water of Florida I will be going in the water of Florida my hotel is right by the water so I will be going in the water and on the sand with some cold beer handsome good-looking Florida chicks
