Hi, I'm looking for an underwater metal detector. What is the best metal detector, regardless of price? Any help in this decision is appreciated

Okay, I'll tell him.

The Minelab Excalibur is a good choice. It is VLF, will ignore iron, won't go as deep as a pulse machine but won't pick up every bobby pin in the water.

The new pulse machines go deep but have a hard time distinguishing between iron and nonferrous metals. I think the Garrett Infinium is a pulse machine and has a way to somewhat tell the difference by a series of beeps.

I am no expert, just an excalibur user.

Who is running the JW Fishers?

I've got 1280x and SeaHunter.

Excalibur sure seems popular!

I had a Sea Hunter MKII for a while and it is a Garrett PI machine. I found a lot of stuff with it one summer. But I hunt freshwater beaches and lakes and it wouldn't differentiate between junk and treasusr very well. It was plenty deep seeking and guaranteed to 250 ft. I read numerous articles on the Sea Hunter where divers swore by it. It is not as expensive as the two previously mentioned. Too much detector for my needs, so I traded it to a diver for a Fisher 1280x that is not a PI machine. I haven't had a chance to use it yet. Many of the local beach hunters use the 1280X and claim to love it.

Monty lot of folks here have the 1280 and like it, I find it heavier than the excal myself but putting in on a waist belt removes that item.

Any machine is like anything else only as good as you are and you needs practice with it to get good with it.
