sand shark blew my mind

[flabuckrud]

The shark blew my mind , a .925 stud earing at 18 plus inches in wet saltwater sand. Don't judge the depth by the air test

 

[Woodchuck]

WOW! I never even bothvwith air test,its what it will do in the ground that counts

Okay I'll bite.....Are you trolling? Last post was 15 months ago.

Sorry but 18" for that type of target is simply FALSE.

Hopefully others will agree with me.

I'm tired of ridiculous claims like that.......please post responsibly.

Moderators shouldn't allow such misinformation on their site.

....anyone else wish to support my response ?

Why do I care.......to help newcomers have a realistic idea of what machines are capable of.

PS......please explain how you managed to measure the depth at 18" in wet salt sand.....did it start out at 1" ??

 

[kaolinwasher]

maybe it was in the way of somthing deeper , you will have to do a video of that , but i dont doubt it has good depth

 

[finnfoto]

WOW. Thats a bit out there I agree.

An 18 inch deep target in beach settings is certainly not unheard of.

Yes.....but an ear ring stud ?????

I have a Minelab GP3500 which tops out on a US nickel at 16" with the Pulsepower Deepstar also the same.
These machines are the most powerful available.

That's a deep one alright ! No telling what you will be coming up with getting that kind of depth.
What size coil were you using ? Good hunting to you ! Gene

I also think 18in. deep is a lot of depth, but saying the minelab is the most powerful available is a bold statement as well

I found a 50 cent piece at 18" in the wet sand, thinking it was a can, but a stud ear ring not so sure, but not impossible, in certain conditions the sand shark it remarkable.
12" on quarters is a regular occurrence for me on the west coast.

Agree, a little over the top. I

It is a fact....power/depth is typically measured by current to the coil. The Minelab and other high powered PI's put out nearly an amp to the coil. There are no other consumer machines that achieve this.

Anyhow, I've made my statement and backed it up. Can the OP do the same?

Tony Don't say some thing is FALSE unless you can prove it!! I own a sand shark and have been detecting for 35 years. The sand shark is one of the deepest detectors on the planet. And Minelab isn't one of them.

I should have known better than trying to refute this on a Tesoro forum.
No machine can find an ear ring stud at 18"..... Not the SS or a 3500.
Sorry but the 3500 and other high powered PI's are deeper seeking than a SS.
Go to a PI specific web page and ask the true experts and engineers. Point them to this thread.

Open your mind and educate yourself.
I love Tesoro as I have a Bandido and Silver Sabre.
No machine ever created will find an ear ring stud at 18"
I would doubt even half that.
This thread is for new comers so at least they can be informed and in time will know where the BS sits
I have achieved what I set out to do with this post so won't waste any more time responding to your misplaced beliefs
I am posting in good faith

well... unless you have tried every detector on the market (world's market) you may prove it and even that way many things must be taken into account.

Don't think yourself as the owner of truth, that's not cool

 

[rarysgaard]

I have to agree.18" on a stud earring is highly suspect. The most powerful pulses available would have a very hard time with that. Maybe a dime or quarter, but not a stud earring. My opinion.

 

[Crispy Critter]

I had planned to buy a Sand Shark but not now. I'm disappointed that they hardwired the coils on the new machines. Now they'll have to come up with a wireless model to make up for their mistake.

Many people fall into the "it cost more its better" mantra. Only thing it proves is that a fool and their money shall soon part.
I've found earrings at this depth. Coins, Jewels, and More, with my Shark, both the 8 and the 10".
