I have been doing my research for months on a machine for fresh water and have learned alot from treasurenet and basically decided I should get a tesoro tiger shark based on Sandman's comments and others. This week I saw a video on youtube from Russia (i think) and a guy was doing an air test with a tiger shark with different size silver and gold coins and the large silver coins (american silver dollar size or so) were hitting at a max depth of about ten inches with the smaller items coming in at less. A different vid was a guy doing a depth test in wet fresh water sand with a "medium" size mans ring with a CZ-21 and it maxed out at 12.5 inches for the ring. THis seems like a gigantic difference to me. I know the cz-21 cost twice the money but now i am thinking I need to rethink my decision before i purchase. Could this wide disparity be explained by the wet sand vs air ? Do these two vids seem inline with what you guys have experienced in the field? I have never done fresh water hunting so I know I may be missing something here. Thanks for your input.
