Tiger Shark??

Hi all...glad I found this huge forum.

I have a Bandito II umax that I brought several years ago. I detected for a while but put it down for a few years. A few weeks ago I picked it up and got the bug again.

I've been considering getting a Tiger Shark. Here's what I'm thinking: I want to get into water detecting. I live in Michigan lots of freshwater. I want a backup machine or a machine my wife can use on land. Once in a great while (like this fall) I'll be going to the ocean.

Does it sound like Tiger Shark is a good match? Any pros or cons about the machine?

Thanks!

Doug
 
I've been using a tiger Shark for about 2 months now. It is great in the water, and hits really hard on gold. I've also used it to hunt on dry lake beds, it found my first gold ring with 3 diamonds. It is a little heavy compared to my Cibola, but I put the control box under my wrist, and it seems to help the weight. Don't know about the ocean though.
 
Thanks for the input. I've been researching it some more and I bought a used one off a guy in Texas off ebay. It should be here in a week or so and I'll let you know what I find. I plan on using it in freshwater 99% of the time but wanted something that could do salt water once in a while too.
 
The Tiger Shark would work great for lake hunting and beach hunting.
I have water hunted South Haven, Benton Harbor, and a few other park beaches there a few years back with a Tiger Shark and it did well.

For salt water it aint so good ... it will work but not as good as some others.
 
Thank you for your input. As far as salt water goes I'll be lucky to be able to get there once every two or three years so it's not a huge thing. Nice to know that you had some success in Lake Michigan beaches. It's funny how much you start to notice all the lakes around here once you start thinking about detecting them!
 
If you're not going to ocean beaches very often, but to fresh water ones a lot, then the Tiger Shark should do very well. I had one several years ago, used it at oceans beaches and most of the time it was good to very good. One or two beaches it struggled a bit, but if you're not spending much time at the ocean, then it should be great. Good sensitivity and depth, Good luck. Sapper.
