I am thinking of springing for one if I get my other home sold. I would have something unique that gives good depth. I wish it would come with a spider coil.
Thanks for the good information snookieson

the whiter the sand the better they work, black sand is their worst enemy.......Unless your beaches have pure or close to pure white sand, I would think about it hard first.

Glad to see it was made in America. I would wonder though about all the wires hanging inside the box. I hear they are great detectors, but the wires hanging are kind of a hack. They should get those wires under control.

Those wires are probably the same in all detectors. The transparent case allows you to view them on the aquasound where you can't see them on other machines. I think it's kinda cool

Work perfect with gray sand-Hollywood FL. and mix white black sand.
I use the machine from West Palm Beach to Miami Beach with no problems at all.
Also work perfect in Daytona Beach. :headbang:

The two clips holding it shut don't look to sturdy. The placement on the side like that would make it easy to catch on something and pop open. :-\

They are sealed you are not going to open it by popping those clips open.

It looks like a waterproof Nautilas

I remember yrs. ago, some guy taking the Nautilas metal detectors and waterproofing them.
