Hi guys, and ladies... I'm looking to find out about the better detectors for both land and below water.
I'm a diver and looking to do some underwater exploration of some sites I know. I will check out the forums, but if anyone can fast track me to new info, it would be appreciated.
On that note, if anyone wants to collaborate with me on some exploration, I'd be interested. I can also train divers as well if you need that.
Thank you! :icon_thumleft:

I can recommend two or three underwater detectors. And that's because I run a shipwreck treasure diving business. One is the Fisher Labs 1280X which I have used on shipwreck sites all the way from the Bahamas to Mauritius Africa. Another one is the Garrett Sea Hunter and then there is the JW fishers top of the line underwater detector

If you're looking for an absolutely guaranteed place on the planet to bring up treasure in great amounts I can tell you where because I'm heading there in a few days and it's not in America nor the Caribbean nor the Mediterranean

I thought the Aquapulse was the best for professional treasure hunters.

I don't know much about this stuff but I do have an opinion:
Cheap, handy and pretty effective - Nokta Macro Pulse Dive - Kellyco Inc - 189 USD each (I love these things.)
Expensive and very sensitive -what pretty much everyone on the 1715 Fleet uses as The Deep Seeking detector - AquaPulse AQ1b with an 8 or 10 inch coil. A 15" coil will find deeper targets, but you may well find that if you are not under a dig boat, you may well not be able to dig as deep as the detector will 'see'. From Kellyco, Inc - about 1600 USD barebones with a charger, bonephone and coil, but they are out of stock as of April 24, 2022.
The below were found with an AQ1b:
