garimpo 2,301 Posted November 21, 2010 Share Posted November 21, 2010 If you want a serious under water detector that also works great on land take a look at this site...I highly recommed them...I have their diver VLF and diver PI...http://www.detectorpro.com/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
garimpo 2,301 Posted November 28, 2010 Share Posted November 28, 2010 Ok to answer Regmaglitch's question about the Headhunter PI underwater detectoron dry land...I've had it for three years and never take it out of the box exceptfor last Friday...went to the recent push where some guys took out a couple of deepnuggets...I went back over it with my GPX4000 and a small DD coil and they didn'tleave me any gold....so then since I lugged the dang underwater detector along with me I gave it a try...three controls are in the headset...once of which changes thefrequency to suit the ground conditions...the detector has the 11" open face mono coil aka concentric...since I didn't find any gold with the GP4000 I didn't expectto find any with this machine either...which I didn't...it's light weight...well built...has all the controls in the headset...I liked everything except for one fact..it's a "slow motion" machine...haven't used one of those since the early 70's....it'skinda like using the "deep" program on the GP4000...low and slow....One other good feature I liked a lot...on the GP4000 and any coil I get a lot of interference from electrical lines and have to hunt in "cancel"...not on the Head-hunter...couldn't believe how quite it ran with the 11" coil...I think they also havea 8" coil that would be a super small nugget getter....just what I need is another coil...since this machine is a diver then there's no problem with rain..now if theywould make a "anti-lightening" machine that would be the way to go....Rained here hard last night...that's why I'm in the house today...so soon as I closeout this post I'm going to be sitting out front drinking a cold Brahma beer and testing the PI Headhunter to see if I can hear lightening strikes like on the 4000..

Regmaglitch 103 Posted November 28, 2010 Share Posted November 28, 2010 Hey Garimpo, Thanks for the info on the Headhunter PI. Will it hit nuggets that you've found with your Minelabs? (not Brahma bottle caps, haha) If so, how many inches on airtest? Hope your rain lets up. Ben Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BenYes it will but not like a gold machine...after all it's made for coins and most nuggets are much smaller than coins....another reason I bought the two divers(VLF and PI) if I ever get to the beaches down here I could do great using my GP4000but I don't like the rust that starts right away...with these divers (also their waders) when you get home at the end of the day just lean them up against a walla hose'em down with the garden hose...

extractor 12 Posted January 4, 2011 Author Share Posted January 4, 2011 Hi All ' Iv'e had my At pro about 6 weeks now and the results are pretty much the same as WLTDWIZ posted above. I also wanted to say Thanks to Bill for allowing us to post about other brand detectors besides mimelab and not having the post removed like other forums are doing. As my luck would have it shortly after I got the AT Pro I was able to get my dream detector A Minelab E-trac WoW Iam Blown away by it's total package! When the weather let' up I am going to give ya all some updates on my hunts with the E-track Extractor Quote Link to post Share on other sites
