How to Choose an Underwater Metal Detector?

By the beginning of summer, many people want to get a metal detector. Indeed, thanks to it, you can find various jewelry on the beach and even in the sea. In this article, you will learn about the best underwater metal detectors. The metal detector is a rather interesting and useful device. So many people buy it, hoping to find valuable metals or ancient coins. One of the disadvantages of such equipment is that it is not cheap, and not everyone can afford it.

How are underwater devices different from conventional ones?

A specialized search device allows you to find lost treasures and ancient relics on any beach and near the coast. Of course, if your goal is the seabed, then you should choose a high-class device that can "deal" with mineralization.

  • The devices are tight, they can be lowered to the depth you need (depending on the option chosen).
  • Underwater metal detectors are usually more expensive.
  • They are insensitive to mineralized soil.
  • Models for immersion at a considerable distance from the surface transmit information through sealed headphones, and not through a liquid crystal display.

Before buying a device, study the features of such devices and compare them with your needs. If your hobby is to wander along the beach and find values close to the shore, entering the water only waist-deep, then you should buy an inexpensive “conditionally underwater” metal detector. If you are conquered by uncharted sea depths, and a diving suit is always ready, then get ready to fork out for professional underwater instruments. Metal detectors of this type can be immersed to a considerable depth, both in fresh and in salt water.
