  1. If I were looking for a title for this story I would use "that lucky 57"🤣 Of the rest with D2 I could tattoo "damn dig it all"🔥
  2. In fact, if you think about seriously starting a dredging operation, the minimum power is at least 5 horsepower.Although sand is easily sucked up, just the stones in the middle and any heavier material, remain on the search bed otherwise. I got decent results with a 6.5 horsepower and an inexpensive motor pump, but when I think about the bulky pipes,the weight of transport and the cost...I wouldn't do it again. You'll soon forget the suction and tend to the boost, maybe spend on a dpv for some ground leveling. Be cautios (laws involved⚠️)
  3. I would love it if this was the problem😂. I have to admit that Anderson's sponge grip is wonderful and unfortunately the plastic of the remote slips a lot when wet and although it has a locking screw, the clip retainer is weak and jumps off everything💣
  4. The shaft was the first modification I made, then the remote control attachment clip by doodads...But I still have problems with accidental release of the remote control from the handle. The problem is that there is ordinary rough tape, which is supposed to restrain sliding, but it falls apart and gradually you can see the transparent part
  5. I find myself commenting late, but coincidentally I am buying a 9" after trying the 11" underwater three times. The fact is that it all depends on what you do and what the environment is like. In my case the 11" cannot be exploited because of the high salinity and a smaller footprint might solve that, perhaps with less coverage. Conversely on wet sand there are those who prefer to cover and have more depth with the 13"
  6. I can't say that I have anything to complain about with the D2 software, if anything it is the hardware that I fear will fall apart😬,But I wonder if we are waiting so long for a final, improved version or is all this time to bring out the anti Manticore?
  7. Thank you for sharing! This video confirms for me that the 9" is not a negligible option. While always using the Deus2 in diving, I was beginning to prefer the larger footprint to the maneuverability. But there is more😎
  8. Jeez🤭 Over 16 years and still looking for a Rope chain to keep it on my neck😪 Nice finds!
  9. The system you're describing seems to be a dredge with a different suction arm🤔. You can easily realize It but: Consider the Power absorption of a centrifugal pump used for the purpose and think about the battery you'll need to give It some time in use...which leads me to think of lithium, which leads me to think of a portable blower....plus a venturi arm
  10. How I would love such a vehicle to transport my artillery to the beach and dive. Unfortunately, in Europe it is unthinkable to get to the shore and park. Or rather, you can, but you get into serious trouble with the coast guard😬
  11. I'm sorry if this topic has been already posted (I don't know yet)... Unluckily days ago I found a bad surprise on my BH-01 headphones. Apparently one of the two vibrating or pulsating bonepads isn't working and it appears like exploded for a pressure damage. Honestly I suppose that's a mechanical damage happened not underwater, or at least not at that depth where I usually dive, but I just can't say more. The point is...I want to build an easy diy headphone and I need to know the connector type and possibly the best components to make a good pair of old school's one... Thanks in advance to all of You... Pissed as usual Skull
  12. That's a good way to knock out some interference but pay attention with low reactivity and iron in the mix... It happens that with higher disc and low reactivity the masking action starts to appear clearly😬
  13. I found the P10 to be completely blind on small stuff🩸. Try the P11 and save as a new program to use it for test purpose. Disc 5 (trust me) Iron volume not over 3 Raise sens up to 95 (88 is really low for the game) Keep reactivity under 2 Salt sens 8 should be fine Pitch tone unless you wanna get crazy with multiple useless hits. Try GB tracking as I also found on red clay and hot rocks to be unworkable with manual. Blacksand accepted please. Let me know if it works😉
  14. Have you found the right combination already or still waiting for it? I'm done now after: Doodads remote clip, Anderson carbon scuba shaft, bh-01 since the first day and some minor mods in my mind just to keep it firm under the signal buoy when using the dpv to move away.
  15. I'm sharing my last experience during the end of a noisy dive... For those that hunts in saltwater like me, can be a gamechanger talking about noise to signals ratio.. I started with too demanding settings in P11, Sens.95 salt sens.8 audio resp.6 react. 0.5 no filters and notch at all, just trying to do the G.B. here and there where rocks sounded with a solid 25... There's no way to obtain a so low balance, so I just left it around 69 and so... After a couple hours of really annoying background noise (already reduced with pitch tones, but still too much for my taste), I just tried before leaving the area to turn the GB tracking... I also had the black sand accepted cause nothing blackish was around me... Miracle😎...All the noise canceled like it was mute and only good pitched signals above the thin audible treshold that even at 20 is still too low to sound over the bubbles and the hood... No gold to show, but some coins and less headache guys😉... Have someone experienced the same?
  16. I'm quite happy with the red clip for the remote...Actually I want another one for the original shaft cause if in the future I want to search on the wet instead to dive, I want to leave on the Anderson shaft the clip I'm using. I think "Doodads" needs just an hand for order's dispatching and customer's care and hope for them to improve. Will be a shame for a small business to close operations for easily solvable troubles. That red clip gives me peace of mind underwater, without being scared to lose the remote💀.
  17. Further tests will come with other programs...Until now I'd say that fully submerged the good compromise to have it quiet and still sensitive to small stuff is P11 with little mods... P12 OR P @40+kHz doesn't suit my needs in really salty areas...
  18. Early morning dive today and second time on the seabed with the D2. Nothing to say about the Anderson shaft...Just amazing. Talking about the D2,I found useful to use the pitch tone and the treshold to make it as similar as possible to the analog oldie in my hearth... I'd say that numbers are almost not relevant, cause with this machine I just dig it all now... Happy for the first piece with it, especially for the damn place where dozens of competitors already sucked dredging all the shines days ago...This actually means that with proper tuning and some luck, if there's something more,You can still pull it out with the D2. Really scarce time for me now and no video for today... Sorry... Cheers from Europe Skull 💀
  19. I'm finally done with all the mods to dive properly with the D2. Even if I've modified it deeply, I'm still not so satisfied, especially for the money I spent🤔. Almost 400$ and counting, cause the next mod will be an handmade layer between the Doodads clip and the remote to keep it firm once for all. I'm disgusted by the poor quality of the supposed "locking" tape which is leaving and falling in pieces. Only one dive and I can already see the transparent part of the remote to appear 🤐... This happened just removing and mounting the remote on the original clip for testing and program build. Without words now... Just for knowledge. And this is what it looks now, ready for the second dive before the winter (I hope).
  20. You're right Fabio, but talking about tired arms I consider the D2 11"like a feather😂... Last year I was diving with a Ctx3030 and a 14x9"
  21. I saw a little bigger hole than necessary for the D2 bolt, but once I closed It properly, no wobbling of any kind. I'm in love with the armcuff and handle position...It seems like tailor made for me and especially so short to dig finally in parallel with the free hand without to pull back the shaft❤️
  22. At the end of the story, I finally ended up to buy an Anderson dive shaft to use the D2 properly. Nothing to say about the thing and the lovely appearance of it, but just a bit expensive if shipping costs and importation tax added to the base price😬. As usual I'm pissed cause making a total of the money I spent for this unit I'm way over the old Ctx and not to mention that I still want the 9" not available when I bought the detector. I still want to approach the second dive with it😶. After the first attempt with the original shaft I just refused to do it again.
  23. It was a joke video on the web...Our stuff on the beach and banters with curious girls😎
