Good morning.My name is Svetlana, women. I live in Brazil and I have Fisher cz-20. In the past to year I have found on beaches in water many gold rings but not gold chain:confused:. My metal detector not catch gold chains. Tell to me please what underwater metal detector catches gold thin chains (2-5g) in salt water? I want to buy this underwater metal detector. Help-me please!:surrender:
 
[size=medium]Hello Svetlana and welcome to the forum. You asked one of the hardest questions in water detecting. Gold chains usually don't sound off too well by themselves. Most of the chains are found because they have some kind of medal or medallion on them. It's those items because they are solid that give off the signal. A chain by itself is very hard to detect.

I use a DetectorPro Headhunter Wader and have found chains with something attached to them. The chain gave off a very faint broken signal and I usually dig everything in the water. Good Luck and Happy Hunting!!! :detecting:
 
The Tiger shark from Tesoro seem to be able to pick up some of these small chains.
Now I'm not sure if this is in fresh water or salt water. I hunt fresh water only.:detecting:
I run Whites BHID and PI PRO and have found some with pendants attached. When you try to detect chains its only one link at a time.
The bigger the links the better the chances of finding those chains.
 
I'd venture to guess that if you pick up some type of medallion in the water that a chain of some type would be in the vicinity or close by..
 
Welcome Svetlana,
I have a CZ20 and a Tesoro Sand Shark for water detecting. The CZ20 is a very good detector.

Small chain is very difficult to find for any detector. If there is a big clasp on the chain, that clasp is what the detector finds.

The Sand Shark is a pulse induction (PI) type of detector. It is a little more sensitive on small chain but it also finds all the little hair pins that I don't dig with the CZ20.

You may want to try a PI type of detector. Some of the water proof PI detectors on the market are the White's Surf PI Pro Dual Field, Tesoro Sand Shark, Garret Infinium. Some say the Infinium takes a lot of practice to learn it but others love it. If you get a PI type detector you will be digging everything.

I have a Anchor elctronics Baracuda that does a superb job on chains. I picked out a 18kt box chain approx 21 inches long, from 24 inches plus or minus a inch or two from the beach last year. Seems my daughter likes to take teh gold from my treasure chest here at home. Guess I am ot the only Pyrate.
