With experience you will become good at retrieving
finds no matter how bad the visibility.
Diving
Diving with the
HEADHUNTER
DIVER is not only fun,
but very rewarding. People have been losing objects in the
water since the human race began. You now can start
finding your share of these lost valuables with your
HEADHUNTER
metal detector.
CAUTION: Do not attempt
to dive unless you complete a thorough diver training
course taught by a certified instruction agency.
Most treasure divers look for coins and jewelry. Every
town has a beach or some type of public swimming area.
Most beaches are littered with trash objects than
neighboring land sites. We suggest you use as little
discrimination in the water as possible. When you first get
your detector, bench testing it with various sizes of gold
and silver rings and coins will train you how much
discrimination will be needed and at what numerical
settings. When you make your first dive, we suggest not
using the discriminator at all until you gain some water
hunting experience. In time you will learn how to retrieve
targets even when water visibility is minimal. There are
many good books on the market that teach water hunting
with a metal detector. We suggest you learn all you can by
reading about the many different searching and retrieval
techniques. However, nothing will replace gaining your
own experience.
Wading
Control setup for wading is the same as the above
Diving procedure with the only difference being you can't
always see or reach the water bottom where your
searchcoil is. Most experienced waders purchase a quality
long-handled scoop and floating sifter system. When you
hear a signal that you want to retrieve, pinpoint it and use
your long-handled scoop to retrieve the target.
Note: WADER model is not designed for diving pressures. WADER is
waterproof up to 6 feet and can be accidentally dropped and
submerged in water, but not used for Scuba diving. WADER & DIVER
models do not have a battery check system. They can be operated
continuously up to 50 hours on a fresh set of alkaline batteries. The
operator is advised to keep track of time logged on each set of
batteries to avoid shutdown in the middle of a hunt. Always carry
fresh batteries as a backup on every hunt. This is common practice
with all detectors, with or without a battery check system.
