They are GREAT detectors with what seems to be superior depth and sensitivity. However, with the big, solid water coil it is only well suited for calm water because surf action will knock the coil around. The water coil is heavy (too heavy for land use, so you have to decide if you are going to water hunt or land hunt before you put your coil on) However, it is amazing how it glides through the water with much less resistance than any spider coil I have ever used. Because the lighter weight land coil floats like a cork, you need to keep it out of the water or risk damaging the coil/shaft connection. The detector is so sensitive, it is only well suited for Florida where you have clean white sand without mineral deposits. It is hard to detect if there is black sand on the beach because it will pick up every ripple in the sand as the black sand deposits change. It is so sensitive, that where I hunt, one day I actually dug up three live conchs at about 16" deep each. After the first one I just thought it was a coincidence that I got a conch and not an actual target, but after the third weak and deep signal where I ended up with digging a conch, I knew it was actually picking up on the mineral deposits in the conch. I tested the Aquasound against the Tesoro Tiger Shark and the Whites Dual Field and the Aquasound got several inches more in depth on a gold ring than either of them. However, I stopped using mine about 2 years ago when I got my CTX which is much better suited to going in and out of the receding surf line. If I lived in Florida without black sand and hunted areas where the water was calm, I would keep the one I have. However, I hunt in an area where there is rough water all the time and lots of black sand, so I actually have one that I would also be willing to sell if there is a demand for more than one. Happy hunting whichever detector you use.
 

I've seen one in Florid a loooong time ago. Is it a pulse or or VLF machine ? If I remeber they was only 2 sounds = good or bad ???
