it's always a pleasure to share a detection! It was a bit shaky on the video, the sea was really calm on surface, but it was stormy underwater.

Fantastic video and inspiration to mod my CTX! I am a long time diver but never brought my any of the machines I have owned down with me.

Have to give a try shortly! So much stuff down there ;-)

Fantastic hunt and fantastic video!!! If you don't mind me asking, how deep were you diving? Obviously, this is not a random deep location. People have to be there to loose stuff, so I am guessing, just outside a swimming area or a marina Well Done. Keep up the great finds. Beach Papa

Thanks mate ;-)

The video was shot between -30ft (Anchor) to -44ft. This is not a place where I hunt, it was just a funny demo of how deep the CTX 3030 goes underwater. I just took a few minutes from a dive with friends to make this video.

Most of the time I scuba detect away from beaches and marina because my intrest is medieval and BC coins.....so I have to find shipwrecks.

Good Vid!

I have to respect somebody who mods and expensive machine and takes it below 2 atmospheres. I would have had more of a worried look on my face.

 

[frogmaster-riviera]

I do show my mods on the field in extreme condition. So no need to worry about wadding / beach hunting anymore...

FrogMaster, Thanks for trying to answer my question. Unfortunately, I goofed up the question. After I watched your video in this post, a number of your other videos came up on the screen and I watched the one in the upper left corner of the screen, showing you finding a chain on a silty, shell bottom. For a while you were using a pin pointer rather than fanning the targets out because of the amount of silt on the bottom and not wanting to cloud up the water. I think you found 5 gold and 8 silver jewelry items in a one hour forty five minute hunt, which is what I might find in 6 months if I am very lucky. That second video was the video I was referring to when asking how deep you were diving and if you were hunting a swimming area or a marina. I understand if you don't want to answer. Where I hunt, the sand moves so much with the wave action that gold gets buried out of detection range quickly. Although half the day, swimmers are beyond the low tide mark around here, hunting that water is almost sterile because of the surf and wave action burying targets in the loose sand so quickly. I enjoyed both of your videos, and will probably mod my CTX some day since I have already experienced water intrusion into the battery compartment. HH, Beach Papa

I am not a Minelab offical tester: I don't find plenty of jewelry in a single hunt when testing the latest product

As I said, I'm used to detect far away from beaches and marinas (sometimes I enjoy recent find as well) because my primary interest is old gold and silver.

If you have experience water intrusion in the battery compartment, just place a 79mmx2.5mm (from 2.0mm to 2.65mm it's ok) NBR 70 o'ring, and just forget about it
