Hi all, well I finally took my tesoro tiger shark out for the first time and I must say it was a blast but also a little trickier than I thought. I definitely had trouble pin pointing. Is this normal and will practice make perfect? Also there was allot more targets than I thought there would be in the water. It was a little overwhelming at first but I did manage to get a couple of clad coins(a penny and a quarter). I gave up after that so I can practice pin pointing before I go back out in the water. Also I am going have to get a stainless sand scoop with a wood handle instead of the all metal one my buddy let me borrow. I dropped it once and it sank and I had waders on in waist deep water so I had to root around with my foot and pick it up. Also not very pointed so could not scoop real good. Any pointers or tips are welcome. Thanks all and HH.

ive never used a tiger shark but i know alot of people really like them...... a tip for your scoop -- i take a piece of brightly colored swimming noodle and attach it to the top of the scoop handle, that way if you let it go you can easily find it without having to dive under for it....happy hunting...

It takes a bit of time to pin point well. Use your foot to mark the target. I put my left foot alongside the target, then put the scoop against my foot and then dig it in. Don't start hunting in surf it's very hard, try to learn and get good in still water. Clip your scoop to you with a lanyard, and your detector. Do short sessions and try and improve a certain part of hunting each time you hunt. After the hunt find a few minutes when you're home to think back to what you did well, and things that you would do differently next time. Don't worry about your finds being good or bad. It doesn't matter. What you have to do is know that you hunted the area really well, and didn't miss stuff. Aim to recover each signal that sounds good. Play games with yourself, try guessing what the target is from the sound. Learn to read here is the best place to detect, and how to search it in a systematic fashion. Enjoy your hunting, post your finds, good luck
