Hi all.
I'm originally from Denmark. The old Viking country up in Scandinavia.
I am currently on vacation in California. (LA & Vegas area) and the 26th I'm heading down to the Caribbean to do some sailing on my friend's boat and do some scuba diving as well..
I'll be back in Denmark around New Years.
I have been thinking about getting me a metal detector for many years. But as I was going to the Caribbean now, I thought it would be obvious to invest in an underwaterdetector now, as I could use it while scubaing around the next month or so....(and I just got my scuba license and I have a small boat I Denmark, and as a former Viking country I bet a lot of silver and gold could be found in the bays)
It would be awesome to bring it with me Back to Denmark so I can roam around the fields and see if I can find a nice silver or gold treasure who wouldn't like that
Looking through all the previous post and recommendations, I kinda have my mind set for either a
Garrett sea hunter mark 2
Or a
Tesoro sand shark
They look to be sold used for around 500$ which I think Is a reasonable and fair price.
I have been looking at the tiger shark and the infinium, but not sure if its over the top to get that expensive a device as a total rookie?
But they also look very alike and as a newbie to this I don't really know what to look for.
My criteria is:
It's gotta be able to work underwater (at least 15/20ft) AND on land as well...
It's gotta be capable of finding gold and silver (not sure if this is standard on all devices)
I kinda liked the ones with a display on, but again, reading through the reviews the ones mentioned earlier seems really reliable. And I guess I can learn recognizing the signals it tells me.
I really want to go into hunting, as I always been excited about finding stuff since I was a kid!
I appreciate any input or thoughts on this! Maybe some pros and cons on the devices listed above. Or even some recommendations for per devices I might have missed out on!
Best regards. And happy hunting out there
