So I been bringing the Headhunter along due to all the rain.

With the Mojave's audio vents , you just can't take the chance. So I picked up a Headhunter for beach work last winter. Been using it for park hunting on wet days. It's beep & dig. Splash proof controls in the Headphone's. As far as tones , the Tesoro wins hands down. The HH has only one tone (as far as I can tell) I only discriminate out iron. I dig a little more alum, but the coin count isn't hurt. Kinda funny I'd say the MoJo has more depth, but once in a while the Pirate comes up with a deeper than average target. Best part the combined weight of the two, probably less than some of the old monsters.

If you have the Pro--Keep sensitivity higher than 8 close to max, or depths drops off fast. Disc no more than 2.
If you don't have the Pro, you may have an internal sensitivity pot among two or three inside the ear cup on the circuit board. If you do and know which one it is.
Adjust until you start to get some falsing.

Yeah Sven, a fellow on here gave me the same advice when I got it. You can discriminate out the iron till it just starts to crack. I got the Headhunter Pirate Pro with the 3 dials on the Headphone. On/ off volume. Sensitivity. Discrimination. Batteries last forever. Pretty sturdy too.
Hunted Florida Gulf mostly, no trouble with salt or semi.

You know the HH is a refined version of the 1280 Aquanaut; it hits hard on high conductors--less so with low ones.
The ‎2.4 kHz is much less affected by salt (the same with heavier mineral.)

Does it have built in modulated auido 'aka' deeper targets are softer sounding?

Yep, really noticeable working the sand. Wet / wading. Gotta listen for them. Scrape off some sand, comes in stronger. It certainly isn't pulse induction deep, but I still came back with about the same amount of goodies or more. Not feeling like your arms falling off sure makes it more fun. Course you know how hunting goes, pick the wrong beach and your screwed.
We all have different ideas of what we want in a detector, this one fit me find.

I have a tiger shark that's 15 years old.and as you all know tereso is out of business,so I may get a used pirate pro.in case my tiger should bite the dust.I posted this question above but ill asked it here.is the volume better on the pro then the orig. pirate?I had the orig. pirate,used it one time and sold it. the volume stunk and the sensitivity wasn't very good.I know the 2.5 kh freq. isn't as good on gold as higher freqs.so I guess sense you loose sens. on gold, you would lose depth on gold also.cant for the life of me figure out why detector pro didn't ever come out with a higher freq headhunter.I only hunt fresh water lakes in the summer time.I do hunt land all other times with metered detectors.

The volume works find on mine. And my ears arnt that good. My HH Pro sniffs out silver pretty good. But it did find me a nice 14K pendant about the size of a quarter. Don't think many would have missed that one.
