I just got my new Deepstar and will share some info that is unbiased. I took the detctor to the beach that gets a lot of hunting. It is a good beach, but alot of Minelabs and CZ's, including mine. Well I started out on the hard pan and found several dimes anywhere from 5 to 8 inches nothing special. But I did notice that I got the double beep on most of them(nails?). The surf must of had them on thier side in the sand. Then I noticed a Minelab Sov with a WOT working down the beach. He came up and asked what I had and I just said a PI. I told him they were deeper and I don't think he believed me. He said if you get a hit let me see if I can detect it. I started out and got a loud hit and marked an X in the sand for him to detect. He had no problem with it.It was a quarter at about 9 inches. Then after digging some more shallow clads I got the faint tone. I called him over and he tried every setting on the machine, but could not pick it up.
Well it ended up being a CZ engagement ring. I was excited at first, but soon knew it was not real. But it was 17 inches deep. I went on and hunted another two hours picking up clad and toe rings before the nice find of the day. I got another faint tone and I dug and dug and almost gave up on it. The water kept filling my hole for me. I finally got it out and it was a thin Bulova watch with a nice diamond on the top of the face. It had to be almost two feet down. I also found a fresh 10k class ring 4 inches. The total for a good day $4.84 in clad,Bulova watch, class ring, 17 pop tabs and 3 bobby pins. Not a bad day. I am impressed with how deep and the coverage of the eleven inch coil. The eleven inch coil is a little to sensitive and hard to work in the deep surf. So I do recommend the 8 inch coil for water. I would rate this detector a 9, only because they have not made the perfect detector yet and I will save the 10 for it. Well I better go, can't wait for this weekend. Happy Hunting Kurt
