Tiger shark

[pointwhisperer]

OK i bought a sand shark for the beach and love it ,it finds the gold but i dont like it in my local rivers and lakes i spend to much time on junk iron and bottle caps will the tiger shark be a great choice for fresh water onley or what would be a great option for fresh water unit that discriminates if the at pro was good to 25 feet that would be my choice so just wondering how you tiger shark owners do in fresh water

My TS works great in the fresh water. I owned and used 4 PI's, a White's BHID, Fisher 1280, and a Headhunter Wader before it.

My friend Kevin has a Sand Shark, the predessor to the Tiger. I absolutely love the sensitivity to small targets. However I dislike haveing only one tone!! Does the Tiger have different tones by chance? Guess I am spoiled.

 

[Hank68]

No it's a single tone, but I do say it has it's own language and the single tone can tell ya a lot.

The Tiger Shark is a verey good detector for fresh water My detecting buddy and I found a lot with it before I moved to Virginia Beach VA JimCVA

The Sand Shark is not the predecessor to the Tiger. The Sand Shark is a PI. The Tiger is a VLF. The Predecessor to the Tiger was the Stingray.

The Tiger Shark is not my first water detector from this company. My first was a Tesoro Sting Ray II I owned for about 15 years. I finally sold it as I wanted a Minelab Excallibur II I still own the excallibur but I missed my Tesoro for fresh water hunting.

I have found the Tiger Shark to be a little different the my Sting Ray. It's more responsive on small Gold and silver items and is a little more chattery on small iron like nails and wire. I am getting used to the sounds now and am finding jewelry right off the bat. I already have two Golds, a 10K Bengal ear ring and a 14K woman's ring. It also found a very small Sterling ear ring with a junk stone in it.

Un like the Excalibur it will find Gold chains and very small Ear Rings. I have found that on iffy targets like gold chains if you will just speed up over the target, if it is good it will improve in sound, if it is a bad target it will break up really bad.

If you are hunting fresh water it is a hard machine to beat, especially that life time warrenty. By the way the Sting Ray II I owned for 15 years never gave me a moments trouble, and thats a lot of good to be said for any machine. Rick IL.
