The Garrett Sea Hunter Mk II is the best underwater detector for the money in my opinion. I have used it exclusively for almost 5 years underwater and on the beach and would put it up against the best for ease of use and depth of detection. It is also very sensitive in the gold range and has even been known to pick up targets that other detectors have completely missed.

I must say this metal detector is one of the best on the market for the money. It is very easy to use and sensitive to gold. It is quick to setup and great for SCUBA divers and land users. I highly recommend this detector.

I will start off by saying I'm new to this machine but I like what I see so far. When I started metal detecting I wanted a water machine so I purchased the Fisher 1280X and quickly discovered it was not that great for salt water hunting. I love it in fresh water and dry sand but in salt water it gave off too many false signals. So I traded the Fisher in for a Garrett Sea Hunter Mark II.

I've only had this machine for a few month and it has been pretty cold here in New Jersey so I only got it out once. The control box is pretty easy to use. This is my first Pulse Induction machine so there is definately going to be a learning curve. Although I did not find any gold or silver the first time out I was able to find some clad so I know it works.

I did play around with the trash elimination knob but I did not see a big difference. I've heard that it is really hard to get any discrimination with a pulse machine so I was not really suprised by this. Although it could be more from beiung a new user of the unit then because of the unit it self.

I like the fact that you can use three different set up being the control box attached to the shaft, a hip mount option or the scuba diving set up with a short shaft. I really look forward to getting out there a few more times and seeing what this machine can really do.

Since I'm still learning this machine I would not recommend it at this point but it does seem like a pretty flexible machine depending on what your water hunting needs are.
