Second hand Garrett Sea Hunter

[Eternity79au]

Any help and tips for this machine would be appreciated. It has just arrived and there are no brackets to fix the box to the shaft. Oh well, I'll have to wear it around my waist, but, it would have been nice to have had the choice.

Colonel Dan. You are a champion!!! Thank you so much for posting that link and also for being superman fast. I've just read the article, and, it looks like I'll be leaving discrimination off and digging a lot! I've got the AT Pro and Gold but wanted to get into the salt water. Many thanks again. Regards, Chris.

I love my seahunter found 7 rings the first year using it. Plus a bunch of other cool stuff.

Ran a Seahunter MK II for a few years...good detector. BUT...you have to use it for what it's DESIGNED for....thats salt water beaches and underwater uses. It is a P.I. detector, and will hit on ANY target....ya got to dig every hit. And it will go deep..

It's a miserable bear in freshwater...not because it isn't a good piece of equipment...just the opposite. Nothing freaking dies in freshwater, so every chunk of foil, bottlecap, nail and hotrock elicits a hit...

The "discrimination" really acts like more of a sensitivity control...anything above 3 and your losing depth. Leave it on 1 and dig it all....jmo.

Put it on a straightshaft behind your elbow..or even better, hipmount it on a dive belt. ALOT easier on a long hunt day...jmo.

Best of luck and good hunting!!

On an iron free beach.....sure. where I hunt there is too much iron, so, using a Sea Hunter would drive me crazy. My Excalibur goes deeper, has more coverage, and discrimination. No brainer for me.

Once you get really good with the machine you can can tell the shape of targets

Thanks. No iron where i am. Tested the excal and sea hunter along with a fisher and whites, sea hunter beat the others for depth hands down. Guess it's where you live and the garbage around? Cheers.
