As primarily a shallow saltwater hunter, I often wonder how many gold chains I walk right over while detecting because my machine will not respond. We know many of the reasons why our detectors will not easily see chains, but rather than just give up on gold chains I'm wondering... 1, which water detector responds best to gold chains in saltwater? Is it the Tiger Shark? I know my Excalibur, BHID and former CZ20 could/can not see many chains at all! I hear the Tiger is great on gold, but how about in the salt? Or how about a pulse machine? I read pulse machines detect chains better than VLFs? I guess what I'm asking is of all the water machines available new and on the used market, is there one that sees gold chains better in the saltwater? Or are they all pretty blind to chains? I would think if one lined up all the water machines side by side, one might prove to be better on chains in the salt? Perhaps not?
OK, what about a land machine that could be chest mounted or waterproofed? I hear the Minelab Musketeer Advantage will hit on gold chains and it works pretty good on salt beaches? Are there any other land detectors known to hit on gold chains and still work good on a salt beach/water/wet sand? How about the Sovereign GT in AM mode?
So if any beach hunters out there are finding your share of gold chains in the salt, what detector are you using? All opinions welcome, CC.
