headhunter pirate

This detector is advertised as a "underwater" detector when in relality you can't take the headphones underwater. It does not handle black sand and saltwater well at most locations. For the price you should get one with a saltwater mode or a just use it in fresh water. I had one and didn't like it. It was very light weight however.
 

Thanks SandMan. You just did an excellent job of answering my questions about it.

thanks for the info sandman. i have to look into something else. i have an excalibur which i had at least 12 years. and was looking for something to use as a backup machine in the pirate price range. not a pulse machine though. i just have a feeling i might have some problems with it soon. thanks
 

Better for fresh water areas but for under 300.00 and can actually get the headphones ( which is where the electonics are ) wet and not worry about damage as with a land detector. Overall not a bad detector just not the best for salt water wet sand.
