Metal Detector

Anyone use a underwater metal detector?Any ones to stay clear of or equipment needed?
I cant spear in the lakes here but there are several cliffs,rope swings and rafting areas where people lose jewelry.Local FD guy used to just go down and pick stuff off the bottom with an old tank he filled with his compressor.No detector.

Re: Metal Detector

For that, the cheaper fisher UW detector will work. I had one and on a wreck it was always sounding from all the iron.

Most of these areas are only 30-40 ft deep.Im hoping to get enough stuff to pay for the machine and pattern the fish in the area while Im down there.Georgia is real strict on freshwater spearing so thats out.
Guy that had a sailboat on the same dock as mine would anchor in a cove and have the wife lower a speargun and bag down on a rope.He would fill the bag half a tank into the dive.Told him it was illegal and he just smiled and said he knew.

Re: Metal Detector

Ob go for the treasure if sandy or soft bottom take a bait net with small mesh and drag it across into the soft bottom. You will be suprised what you find. Good luck.
