WOW!
Not cheap, true!
To buy this one you must have an opportunity to hunt on a regular basis in a country without this much restrictions and regulations and without our huge competition.
To collect our typical $1.00 per hour with these superexpensive machines makes no sense in my opinion. Even if they are really three times higher in quality than Whites and five time higher than DetectorPro.
To find a gold - the gold must be in the ground(sand/dirt) in the first place.
HH!

Not that I am knocking the machines but their are Surf Scanner models for the beach and 2 of the three cannot be submerged in water! Their water resistant, not waterproof. The other one (Aqua search) can only be submerged in just under 10 feet of water and it has a clunky box around the housing to protect it from the water. Something you would see in a home brew waterproofing setup
They have found more treasure than anything else, because Eric Foster's unit's were used by Mel Fisher to help locate the Atocha.
The Goldquest SS is a land based PI unit designed for either beach hunting for jewelry, or occasional use as a nugget hunter.
The Aquasearch is a waterproof version of the Goldquest. Both of these units are the most sensitive PI water/beach unit available, anywhere.
The Goldscan 5C is a discriminating, ground balancing, very high powered, PI detector that was originally designed for nugget hunting. Through constant development it has evolved into a multi-purpose PI detector. It handles gold jewelry hunting on any beach just superbly. This unit is what Whites choose to model it's new TDI detector after.
All of these detectors are hand built, custom made to order by the inventor of the PI detector, Eric Foster.

I see they are also using a Geometrics Cesium 882 Magnetometer
in that search too. I read also that "In 1969, Mel Fisher and his Treasure Salvors crew began a relentless, sixteen year quest for the treasure of the Atocha. Using sand-clearing propwash deflectors, or "mailboxes," that he invented, and specially-designed proton magnetometers, they spent long years following the wreck
Your taking it way out of context.
No one said the Aquasearch was the one he used. It was closer to the still in production Aquapulse unit.
I didn't say it was the only item used to find treasure, but for certain Eric Foster designed, and built detectors were the only detectors he used at the time. Oh, did I mentioned that Eric, and Mel were in the detector busness together.
Here is what I put on my web page. No where does it say these particular units were the ones used. I just stated the facts, and I'll stand by that. You want the most sensitive PI detectors there is for gold jewelry, then you choice has to be Eric Foster designed detectors, Period !

This is on your webpage and in this same thread you said, "They have found more treasure than anything else, because Eric Foster's unit's were used by Mel Fisher to help locate the Atocha.
How am I putting a spin on things. It's more like you are. Your quote is," More treasure has been found with Eric Foster's designed detectors than all other detectors combined." Where did I say it was the Aquasearches in this thread that found the Alocha?? I asked you a simple question. Why are you saying that his metal detectors have found more treasure combined than all others. Then you said in this same thread He used his detectors and then you are omitting the part about me asking about the magnometers and dustboxes.
I asked you a simple question and you are trying to make it look like I am putting a spin on things?? The "spin" is in the transparency of the statement you make, these detectors findings more treasure than all other MD combined." I asked simply how can you say that when magnometers & dust boxes were used in the initial search. These detectors were not used to find the Alocha initially. It was the magnetometers & subsequent additional equipment to locate the find and yet you lead people to believe that these MD have found more treasure than all other MD combined. It is right there on your website as plain as day. You state it plainly. These MD's did NOT find the treasure. It was the magnometers and additional equipment that gave you valuable insight as to it's locality. Taking some of his scanners down there AFTER the other equipment discovered it and then confirming it with those MD is not a true statement when we look at HOW the treasure was discovered in a technical sense. This is typical with advertising. You are utilizing semantic scenarios with the physical world. Those MS did NOT discover that treasure and your statement on your web site is misleading when we delve further into it.
a simple question: Did they go down and just decide to MD the ocean floor for years on end with his MD's that have found more treasure than all MD's combined or did they make the find with its locality with the magnometers and such?
Like I said your taking things out of context, They have found more treasure than anything else, because Eric Foster's unit's were used by Mel Fisher to help locate the Atocha. ( Should have said the Atocha treasures ) You missed the words "to help", not locate, as cast in stone.
And before they went down with hand held units, they used a towed PI detector with a huge coil submerged, and towed behind the main boat. They did this all over the place. They used all kinds of specialized equipment.
Of course they used other equipment along with hand held metal detectors. I'm not going any further with you on this as I can see this would be a waist of my time. If you believe I was trying to mis-lead anyone,so be it.
Enough said.
Mr. Bill
Where the detectors find more that all others combined.

Then I stand corrected and I apologize for my aggressive inquiry. I know you are a knowledgable person and have great detectors but I kind of get off on a tangent when something doesn't sit right with me. Again, I apologize and I wish you well and I'm sure we'll be speaking in the future sometimes. I'll have to get the book about that treasure find. I am curious as to its development. Those must have been some long hard years especially with FL trying to take all the loot and fighting back and finally winning their right to the treasure as their own.
