Found a few clad and was about to give up when I got a bouncy 08-13 to 10-13 signal. I thought pull tab but what the heck good get lucky. Well it...

    Likes/Dislikes on the Tigershark

    I'm the final stages of deciding on an underwater detector. Application is fresh water and sandy lake beaches. I would like to hear from Tigershark owners what do like about the machine vs dislike. Would you buy another if you were to lose yours? Any help would be appreciated.

    Need some inland water advice

    Ok I have a really good detector, but I am wanting one I can put in that water and scuba with in rivers and lakes, and is good on lake beaches. I probably will not be going to salt water. So I have around 600 to 700 to spend. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

    Quick Question for Coin and Relic Hunters

    If Minelab was to build an Etrac type machine solely using the 2 Tone Ferous mode and made it a lot cheaper would you buy it? Or does all the other options make the price worth it?. Me personally I happy with the machine but have entertained the thought of a ferous mode easy start up and go...

    X1 Question in Reguards to TTF

    Is there a way to quickly switch to multi tones or get the most out of the X1 in TTF to where its more accurate. I hope that makes sense. At first I didn't realize why all of a sudden my X1 wasn't pinpointing good. Then I realized with only two tones almost every little piece of metal sounds...
