First Water Hunt

[salty dog]

I got to use my Garrett Sea Hunter Mark 2 in the water for the first time yesterday evening at a swimming area on a fresh water lake yesterday afternoon.
The swimming area was pretty crowded but I was able to do some hunting.
I found some coins, two ear rings, one ring (costume jewelry), and a lot of bobby pins.
I will definitely have a magnet in my scoop next time. I had a tough time with the bobby pins passing through my scoop.
I really enjoyed hunting in the water. It was cool and relaxing.
I can't wait till I get to go again.

This is how it starts........ you will find that the pulse unit you are using will always find lots of bobby pins and other iron things as these items don't rust away as fast in freshwater as in salt. You should look into getting another detector with some discrimination.

I don't mean to be a wet blanket, that is just how it is when you get tired of all that digging for bobby pins. If you put the coil over a ring, you will hear it from deep down.

Good Luck,
Sandman

Don'tcha just LOVE it! I am definitely addicted to water hunting and could kick myself for putting it off for so long! Good luck and I look forward to seeing your finds in the future.
