HH Mike Hi Mike, How can the Aqua Manta be getting good reviews? It’s not on the market yet. I am not putting the machine down.... I’m interested in one myself. But all we know is what the developer is saying unless you can point me to reviews by somebody else. Yeah, lots of happy Tarsacci users from what I have seen.

Mike Hillis Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 No, you are right, Steve. Just developer feedback on the Aqua Manta. Tantalizing feedback, but still just developer feedback. HH Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Herschbach Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 Oh ok. I am pretty excited by the machine but until I or somebody else gets our hands on it.... well, it’s a discriminating PI and they all have a catch. At least every one made so far! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kac Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 Comparable machine to the Sand Shark is the the Garrett Sea Hunter which I picked up recently. I am really happy with it and the battery life seems longer than they say spec wise. Price wise it doesn't break the band and will pick up bobby pins just as well as any other pi :) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danielbecerra Posted July 21, 2019 Share Posted July 21, 2019 I'm also looking forward to the AQ, my big doubt and the developers have not mentioned anything, is it comonse behave in salt water? since it will be waterproof up to 3 meters !!! Will it discriminate the same in salt water? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick K - First Member Posted July 21, 2019 Share Posted July 21, 2019 I had a prototype late last year for a few days. At Coronado beach in San Diego, it hit a buried nickel at 17-18” with a strong signal with the iron ID on or off. My Nox managed 8” on the same nickel. The beach was striped heavily with black sand. The discrimination works in or out of the water. When the AQ is in the iron Mute mode it kind of reminds me of the Soverign because the iron goes quiet - however, unlike the Sovereign or Excal, there is no nulling. Any low conductive target like gold is still heard just fine, even under a few nails, the iron just sort of disappears. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danielbecerra Posted July 21, 2019 Share Posted July 21, 2019 ok, rick I have a cz21 of the first editions and I have chased gold rings wrapped in iron, with a softer beep than normal, sorry for my English Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick K - First Member Posted July 21, 2019 Share Posted July 21, 2019 As far as I could tell, the presence of iron near gold had no effect on the signal from the gold when the AQ was operated in the “Iron Mute” ID mode. In all metal, all targets are heard and the iron is heard as well as the gold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danielbecerra Posted July 21, 2019 Share Posted July 21, 2019 The big question is this, when will it be for sale ???? as soon as I have it I will take it to the island of Tenerife and I will see that it works in the completely black sand, the cz, equinox, excalibur, are not worth for these sands Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
