Here is the pics for this underwater detector.(can be used on land, beach and underwater).
The photos show the condition of the unit. Pretty good shape. The shaft has scratches on it from previous owner(s) neglect.. The insides are in great shape as well.
Even the rubber on the handle grip is in good shape. Coil is an 8 inch concentric and has some scratches on the bottom.
Takes only 6 - AA batteries (not included) Battery life is 15-30 hours. Operating modes: VLF All Metal, TR Discriminate, VLF Discriminate. Operating frequency is 10kHz.. Headphone in good shape too. I have extra coil wing nuts and plastic 'bolts' for holding the coil in place.
There is a small bag (for goodies I think) that comes with it.. Instruction booklet and a magazine from Tesoro also included. Also a small bottle of silicone for keeping the rubber gasket from rotting and drying out.
Looking for $350 which includes shipping.
Prefer payment via Paypal. I bought this about 2 - almost 3 years ago and hasn't been used a lot. (It did find a nice 1937 high class ring in Houghton Lake so I know it loves gold.)
This is for FRESHWATER use but can be used on saltwater beaches (See info below on SALT setting). Can be used under water down to 200 feet. Very light weight unit.
The Stingray DOES NOT have interchangeable coils. This is pretty much the same as the Tesoro Tiger Shark but a lot less expensive.

A more specific answer from the instruction manual as to what SALT setting is used for....The top left knob is the Discriminate Level Control
"DISCRIMINATE LEVEL CONTROL
This control is used to adjust the detectors response to unwanted metallic trash when the detector is used in the Discriminate mode. Since the range of this control reaches from the All Metal (lowest end) up through Screw Cap (highest end), it gives complete control for compensation of wet salt beaches when used in the TR Discriminate mode as well,"
I will consider trades of equal or near equal value or trade plus cash difference.
Do not offer a trade if you do not intend to trade (had that happen already and still mad about it).
I am looking for S.E.F. coils for the Minelab Explorer II (6X8 and !0X12) so if you have them to trade let me know.
