Hello! I recently purchased a Treasure Cover Underwater /Surf Metal Detector TC 7010. I purchased this detector because the specs said that it detected 8 ft under sediment and operates up to 33 feet under water. Unfortunately, when this device came, we tested the coil and in order to hear a tone, the metals had to be almost touching the coil. And it doesn't detect gold at all.
Needless to say, we were very disappointed. The detector was under $300.00 and I had suspected there was no way we could find a good underwater detector for less than $500.00
What we really want is a device that can be totally submerged so we can use it while we snorkel or scuba in salt water. And it would be nice to have a device that detects all metals but especially gold. I recently found a gold chain in the water when I was snorkeling in the ocean. I can only imagine what i'd find if i had a good underwater metal detector.
Can anyone give a suggestion?
-thanks!
