Unstable and You Have to Turn Down the Sensitivity
by Brian in UK - 
I have had this detector for about 5 years now. I bought it as I do a lot of Beach Detecting and Snorkeling Detecting. I have found that it easily becomes unstable and you have to turn down the Sensitivity to compensate for that and so you loose depth. I have found things with this, but it does not beat what I have found with my Tesoro which is far more stable, but of course not submersible. Also the carry bag for when hip mounting is very poor quality and frays. Would I buy this detector again knowing what I know now? No.

Great on the Beach
by Matt Randolph in Palm Coast, FL USA -
I bought the Beach Hunter because my Minelab Explorer was not doing so well near the salt water. The Beach Hunter has been a great investment as I have found enough things at the beach to pay for it in just 1 year. Very easy to figure out and use. I also like the fact that I can go under water up to 25 ft. Although most good finds are at waist deep.
