When you fresh water hunt how much junk do you get?

[petew]

I have a brand new diggers special coming on Monday according to tracking,5x8 coil and gray ghost headset.
I'm pumped to water hunt,found a park with a freshwater be ach.I am just curious, how much junk you guys get in swimming areas?

Quite often lots of junk. We just don't show it, because it's ugly. Here's a hunt with the trash and the best keepers....

John is right, water detecting is like any other detecting. Lots of junk but some nice rewards. The thing is that in water detecting you are likely looking for gold which means you must use little discrimination, resulting in more trash dug. But ... It is a blast! Good luck.

As far as a scoop,wound a heavier scoop be better?I'm 6² so is there a longer scoop I should look at ,I just don't know.But I'd definitely like to get one,I'm gonna need it.Any recommend
The main reason I bought a new at pro was for the warrenty, cause getting dunked might leak.At least I can send it in.I'll be glad when Monday gets here,can't wait to unbox that beast.lol

Gotta have a scoop. There are vendors advertising , top of forum pages. They are very helpful. The AT Pro is good to 10' depth. Chest high is safe, always be careful Don't be shy, Garrett absolutely backs their products. One thing the Pro is waterproof, your cell phone, probably not. Waterproof pouches can be found for such items.

There are a lot of guys on here with great ideas, and one ideA someone had was to watch those O rings! Make sure they are in good shape, which a new machine should be fine, but in the future, a little dab of silicone and rub on o rings for a good seal. Of course garrett is great for fixes but a ounce of prevention will go a long way. Mine is at garrett right now due to o ring failure in guessing. If u don't have a back up like me it sux!!!!

Good advice but just so's there's no confusion, it's silicone grease, available in the plumbers aisle at Home depot.

Thanks,I love this Machine .the gray ghost sound awesome, the sounds just blend smoothly together. I'm not sure I can get any water hunting in this year, but I'll hit it hard in the dirt and sandy freshwater shore for now.
