2 Box detectors on the beach

[sabre15]

Has anyone ever used or had any luck using a 2 box detector on the beach? And, if so which model has worked the best?

I tried my Garrett Master Hunter with the two-box attachment, just to get some practice. It would detect whole beer cans or larger. Since I was going ashore to search for a cache this was the performance I wanted.

Its a deterctor with 2 boxes Just kidding...

The one I have is exactly that....2 boxes...you can attach a shaft and use it by your self or it can be used by 2 people, each one holding a box so that you can cover a larger area...this are used to find large targets really deep...some of them can detec a 3ft size target 20 ft deep...

Go to "www.garrett.com" Under the hobby division look for the Master Hunter. You can get one for the GTI 2500 or for the Master Hunter CX+ which is what I use. Excellent machine.

Discovery's TF900 has always been considered the best by most cache hunters. I used to own one (before getting into shipwrecks) after extensive research on two-box detecotrs. White's TM808 was built by Discovery as well. I thought I heard White's wasn't using them anymore. Maybe someone else can shed light on the latest. I've heard Garrett's is okay. Whatever you do, don't use the Gemini - too many false signals.

Never tried one on the beach. A 1m x 1m pulse loop would be better and not give false signals.

2 Box detectors are great if you have a back hoe to dig your giant holes.Just remember.If you come to florida,dont forget to fill in your holes and take your trash that you find with you.

I live in Florida, hence I will leave the trash i find in Florida!

Steve Ryland wrote an excellent book about how to use the Fisher two-box. It certainly sounds to me like that would be the machine for a very large piece of metal - such as an anchor or to follow an anchor chain.

While you would probably find a buried chest of coins (have you read anything by L. Frank Hudson? Every Florida pirate buried dozens of chest of treasure!) you would probably miss scattered individual coins on the beach.

Good luck to all,
