The unit is usually used to track subsea pipelines. We are using these in the North Sea to locate WWII munitions that were dumped overboard in areas where they are trying to build new offshore windfarms. There are a pair of hydraulic rams attached to the bottom of the Pipetracker that lower the unit down so that it is parallel to the seabed. We have found quite a few things so far. Pretty interesting.

You could hip mount it and I think you would be able to handle it.

Hey - bring that thing to the treasure coast of florida to search out spanish treasure. Hell better yet - bring that thing somewhere off the east coast of florida to locate area's here to build windfarms offshore to create massive surf puonding the shore exposing all the spanish goodies, and create numerous jobs in the U.S.A.

I can just imagine the size of the sand scoop you would need to recover some of those targets.
