JW Fisher Pulse 8x w/ added 48" coil but needs a hook

by William The Lover in USA - good

Took the JW Fisher Pulse 8x with factory add on 48" coil sled into 30-60 ft of Caribbean pirate ocean exploration. Therefore, I had hoped to have created a two-box for a fraction of list price. Seemed to be true to advertising that neither salt water, sand or minerals confused the detector. Battery held up well despite months of inactivity after factory charging. Seemed to detect large objects at about 10-15 knots trawl despite detecting on very deep sand bars. I'm guessing that the set would've located small objects but didn't experiment or try as I rented a fishing boat with an impatient captain. Equipment was durable but imagine that wireless headphones would be better if I had more time to short them. Moreover, without a signal legend on the needle window nor sound translation in its manual, I had to guess at what depth objects were beneath the sand and guess what hits were cannon shot, iron anchors (low grumble) and what were gold bars (chain saw scream). Side note explanation on what manuals don't cover: since Spain claims everything found on their ships sunk at sea and nobody's been smart enough to argue in court "it's not Spain's but stolen Inca loot"...will have to...prospect for English pirate treasure or Spanish loot that's (already) been brought to shore to avoid Spanish claims. Oh...and use your detector in countries that are friendly to treasure hunters instead of where hunters are limited by salvage leases that are actually just ways for banana republics to block or worse - rob good souls.
