Skull diver

Done! I just bought mine

I must admit that looking at these shots I am relieved that we are slowly seeing solutions to this problem, even if they are aftermarket and created by enthusiasts. It annoys me on the other hand, that such a structural fact was not foreseen at the factory design stage. I have to admit that after a year of use, I have now reached an extreme degree of confidence in the instrument and a killer program but this having to worry about the remote unhooking at the first opportunity, no, I cannot tolerate that.

Since a few months I have the red locking shoe on an Anderson dive shaft.. Still looking for a damn stable mount like the black one uphere. There's no way to keep the remote there on the shaft and the shape problem will be never solved if not excluding the original mount in the system.

I have it already. I can't say anything against its use but my remote still continues to fall away when I hit it and I'm next to try this solution posted uphere.

Nothing better than the yellow colour ...Damn🤪

I've seen again those numbers...So many times to be almost sure 😊 Sounds like you found an italian piece and what a dream to start like this the year 🏴‍☠️

Unfortunately, for me it does not represent a viable option...I use the D2 only underwater and the Ws6 does not have this capability.

I actually damn like the mod... Most of all, I'm dreaming to zip tie the f#ck#g remote in this way to the shaft clip...🤣 So I'd never be forced again to see it dangling around like a pendant with the antenna's cable.

Hard for me to forget 12.01 to 12.25 lottery numbers.... Still a sniper rifle today with the right conditions. Too bad it feels less deep in detection than a D2 even with 9" coil... I keep it as a relic and it will remain the instrument I have had the most confidence with.

I had to change the audio tones to put up with the noise three times.I had started with three tones and it was unbearable, then a little better in pitch and finally full tones with an offset on 20.Try changing also audio filter to 1 because any higher level increases the annoyance on false signal in salt water.

With really low discrimination at 5.9 I happened to hear iron tone but no ID. It was a big submerged spot and if I consider 40kHz/92+ sens/b.s. accept and auto G.b. it is more than acceptable.

Not only can I confirm the same impressions about the update, but I advance my own modest theory about its release. Although the addition of a new feature for the Xtrem apparatus was in the beginning the reason for initiating downloads, it is clear that other bugs have been fixed without overemphasizing it. And still this is good because I finally find in Xp the first factory that "listens" to the end users. Too bad for someone else who does not release software and aims to sell three or four more tools that remain unknowns. For me they remain so because after the purchase the party ends there.... Once is also too much, especially at that price.

I agree with you. If it is any relief to you, think of this combination here in my area.... 2,5,10,20,50 Cents of which only the first two denominations are discarded as ferrous. Add a new tool and the need to dig out virtually 80 percent of the IDs so as not to risk leaving behind gold... Add having to do it underwater with one hand.... Do you feel any better?😂

That rope chain looks gorgeous 😍...I'm still looking for one since 2005🫢

Thanks and nice way to restart the hunt... Me, after three bad sessions until yesterday, today 📴🫢

After some time, we all have a spot that unlike others, we know like the back of our hand, that spot where more than others we had satisfaction and even lessons. It is the spot closest to home, the one you reach with little effort and know with your eyes closed. Well, two days ago I met a diver friend in town struggling with his hooka and having to take advantage of the few days of 0 energy for the last sessions of the year, yesterday I brought a cylinder with me so I could give him air and a few hours on the bottom. The wonder? Entering the water together in the home spot and in the slime that makes the water murky discovering that some god has ripped out tons of sand without anyone noticing yet. I start breathing at an accelerated pace, but I don't care because there is a compressor on the surface and for the next 4 hours I won't dare move away from the pit. I discover with little surprise that the holiday season has already brought the need for another 2kg of ballast to stay down on the bottom.... I can hardly believe it at moments, and although I have moved hundreds of boulders and searched meter by meter in over 15 years at this place, for the umpteenth time Mother Nature surprises me with a new combination of red clay, fine crushed stone, black sand, then orange, shells of all kinds, and large boulders on top of the cake with seaweed topping deposited between the cracks... The scenery tells of a bad current that has dug down to the mother layer as never before, in addition to old waves of a power rare in these parts. But the seaweed reminds me of the late recognition of the closing party. I start with the smile of a child at Christmas and listen confidently for the presence of iron, then silver, coarse aluminum, and dig up nothing but distinct mids... Bang, a reddish snake at least 20 years old appears.... I am sure I am in the oldest section, the most ravaged by dozens of other hunters, and I am struck with nostalgia. I may have seen 20 more of the same shape, but I haven't dug any in forever.... At that point, already happy to have caught a piece just where I least expected it, I insist and move a good 100 meters away catching sight of another really huge pit. It's been almost three hours and I'm starting to stand on the bottom almost belly down.The wetsuit has soaked through to the cells closest to the skin and the temperature has dropped considerably. You can tell by the loss of interest and control that you are about to get hypothermia.... Just before the headache, determined to resurface and already blessed with gold in my glove, another indisputable signal in the 40s stops me.... Bang again... Thin, barely bigger than my little finger and as beautiful as ever, comes a second ring from another time.... There is no way to explain, on balance I don't get to 4 grams total, but the place, the history and memories I have among these rocks, are back together after too long. I leave the beach struggling to get out among dozens of meters of seaweed, dirty and breaded like a schnitzel...I turn around and say, "You got me again..."

I agree with your thoughts Steve, in fact in another previous response I was pointing out that the S.H. is still honestly priced and remains one of the few options for us divers. I always keep my Tdi BH in the artillery room and unfortunately due to infiltration at the control box I will have to make further modifications. If we were to say unfiltered the real difference besides the impact of mineralization, hunting with a P.I. certainly lengthens scan times on targets less palatable than 'gold, but there is no question that they are to be avoided in favor of any vlf. I for one tamed the D2 just a few months ago, because just like all the other instruments, it sounded like a show in salt water....

I must admit my amazement to see that there is this trend of personalizing with engravings less noble materials than 'gold and with increasing frequency. No wonder it is dated 2012, since the "great crisis" in my mind is stuck in 2008 (and continues)...

Reading the answers you have been sent in the posts, I can only add that even today the Sea Hunter is the right compromise between expense and yield. I tried for a while to exploit a TDI Bh and even got some satisfaction out of it, but after a few months leaks started at the control box, I changed coils to a mono 8" by adapting one for prospecting and having to struggle with the extreme buoyancy of the instrument. So, to close concretely, despite being an old design, it is still damn effective and at an honest price. I do not mention the difference with a digital instrument of today, which I think is exactly as deep and sensitive as a P.I. because the aptitude for digging everything out is not resolved anyway.

I apologize to the big boss for the place where I write, hoping not to harm him, but I want to wish everyone a peaceful Christmas and a hundred memorable finds. It has been many years and I think that from the gold fever I will never recover, so all I ask is to hang out with this big family as long as possible and may God send us luck. See you soon pirates!

I am on my fourth session today and perhaps regret not doing the changeover from cylinders to compressor sooner. Even today I was exhausted and once I resurfaced I had 48% battery after more than 4 hours at the bottom.I was skeptical about this system but indeed the 52 Ah is real. It's just too bad that the spot where I shot that clip a few days ago is closing fast and today I just cleaned up steel and silver with a few coins.

With only three useful sessions this month due to annoying waves along the coast, the last of the three a few days ago was special. A variation to the tone profile proved effective at least for my hearing. Given the difficult environment where I usually research, pitch tone seemed the only solution to the continuous playing on the saline of 2-tone profiles and up. By really minimizing the instrument's chattery behavior, I fear I misunderstood the audio response of the peaks, no doubt overlooking signals that needed to be dug out. I am certain of this, because the same little patch where for almost two hours I used pitch tone without interesting signals, came back on in full tones giving me a hard time...I came to the conclusion that I was probably too used to "Minelabbish" signals, since in Square full tones the voice of the Deus2 sounds a lot like that kind of audio response. In the short snippet of video below, a ring of silver and one of gold jumped out after finally perceiving them correctly in headphones...

Exactly, not only the stock clip allows the remote to jump off the shaft, but it is only thanks to the cable that you don't miss it when floating underwater to the surface. The remote should be mounted with a bolt and secured to the shaft in a permanent way but this is a bit different from the original back side of the remote. As for the item I found, I see that You just need the two screws like the original clip and after You just use the upper cap in case of removing the remote. I could leave it there forever.

I have to admit, as much as I am loving this tool, there is something that sends my brain steaming. After ditching the original clip and fitting an aftermarket piece with a top locking screw, I keep seeing the remote detach from the holder and hang on the antenna cable. It's one thing when it happens on the road while I'm reaching the bay, quite another story when I'm submerged and bump the remote with my elbow as I leave the rod to dislodge boulders. I found on Ebay a well-made remote holder with the whole support base and even a small tunnel for the antenna cable. Have any of you used or use something similar?

On the other hand, in the absence of a mark, a name, a serial, it occurs to me that it was one of those rings worn purely to flaunt something.... Very clearly, I see 13.5 grams being a respectable sum to support future research. Think that in Europe, thanks to the new legislation, we are all delinquent until proven. So what I find, if not specifically marked, is money. And if I have to risk jail time, let it at least be for something.
