SAME COIL BALANCE THAN THE NAUTILUS DMC2B

@MORDORAS

Thanks...I will read about the Nautilus.

Thats very interesting about how it has the longer sound for iron and crisp for ferrous. I will have a read up about this detector.

Wonderful detector but keep it away from true black sands !!

Luckily my beaches are generally coral sands with no rivers to bring the black sands in.

@TonysWaterHunts Thanks for the reply. I had a read up about the detector and did notice it's dislike of black sand. But the discrimination on it seems great the way you show it. I use a whites VLF "surf 2" detector for fresh water only. Just shallow depths of 1 - 2 meters usualy. Basicaly rivers and the shallow areas of lakes in Europe. Although I do have a PADI qualification for ocean open water, I just seem to prefer the fresh water these days. Happy hunting :)

@OutsideTheEdge

I imagine that you have an almost limitless area to hunt with all of the lakes and rivers.

Down here, it's really the ocean and beaches to hunt. There are lakes inland but they are heavily mineralised so a specialised detector is needed.

The Aquasound will not work in the lakes as it cannot GB at all.

Enjoy your summer......I can't wait for ours to return !

@MichaelSwan66

no i do have a md3080 i got to do a little water detecting it's not very good though water around here on the central coast is very cold i've got a wet suit but still haven't tried water detecting yet. mostly parks and beaches with my ace 250. look for to your next video :) HH!

@MichaelSwan66

I use a full wet suit even during summer as I often hunt from 2am until 10am.

.....but not too deep when it's dark !

I guess the water is rough a lot of the time too ?

Ace 250...good little machine.

If you don't get any audio hits after several turns of the NULL knobs, just stop and go the other way until you get an audio hit..stop and then go the other way. Then continue the procedure as normal. After doing this then the tune range should be okay. This only happens when doing the first NULL tune. All other tunes should be small adjustments. This tuning is "loading" the coil to it's full potential. After a while it becomes an automatic process and takes about 30 seconds each time.

[TonysWaterHunts]

Just wanted to add that it's important to have the coil "nestled" into the sea floor when tuning and keep the coil as still as possible......quite hard in rough water but the machine is still very forgiving if settings are off and will still perform really well.
