I wish I had the guts to scuba dive. I've got the Excal ii and even a Garrett Sea Hunter but, we also have a lot of sharks where I live in Oz and they've taken a few lives this past year. I really enjoyed your vid though, thank you!
I here you mg, I have two impulses from the old days and they still run great and my CZ's are great too, seems like the excals have too much trouble for what they give and my CZ has great depth here in Okinawa.
Using the sensitivity at 10 while diving in salt water was giving me false signals. You still get plenty of depth even when set to the pre set level of 3 for salt water. I like both machines for different reasons. The CZ is still new to me but so far I like the ease of pinpointing and the sharpness of the disc response. Too many bricks along the bottom; I may bring some ashore one day.
0:53-1:04 Looks like a watch or something gold attached to a rope or band under the red brick. You can hear it hitting the rocks. Looks like the detector picked it up, but you moved south.
Great vid, Try using the Sensitivity on 10, gives u more searching grunt without negative effects. How are you finding the Fisher compared to the Excal ? Did you keep the bricks, They look unusual, embossed with F T ? Pinpointing function of the Fisher can be annoying but ve
im looking to Buy this Detector for Salt Water detecting only . the areas where i search is mostly sand based no rocks .. did you reccomend this machine over Excalibur 2 ?
How would you say the cz-21 compares to the Excalibur ii for depth, black sand/mineral tolerance and discrim/target ID? Do you know of any other underwater vlf worth adding to the cz vs excal comparison? I have some sites with a hard layer about 6" into the sand that’s full of fish hooks, sinkers, nails, boat parts, and the odd ring. My duel field likes the fish hooks a lot... Even 6-8 inches deep in some places. The deep ones are worse because hard to distinguish shape and faint like a deep ring. Although enough black sand in other places a metal body matchbox car gave me a week signal from 4-5" Not even the duel field can ping stuff past 6" through the thick black sand around here..... Not going more than 10 feet underwater yet, but I see scuba gear in my future... Cant decide if I should include ATpro and CTX in comparison, CTX was never in it for price anyway. If only the Makro Racer or Fors Core was waterproof... I think I need a full dive VLF.... I know I know. I should just dig all the fish hooks out (I have thinned them down a lot in one patch). There are good targets hiding under fish hooks. Would be nice to be able to better asses the junk ratio etc though. And after digging nothing but fish hooks, sinkers and rusty nails for a couple of hours I start to get a bit discouraged...
+Mongrel Shark In salt water, the Excal will go deeper simply because you can run it at a higher sensitivity level. In fresh water, both the CZ-21 and the Excal work great and get excellent depth. Neither of these machines will do well in discriminate while searching in black sand; its too hard to penetrate. For black sand, a PI unit is your best bet. I have waded with the ATX and had good luck in heavily mineralized areas.All the VLF machines you mentioned ATP, CTX, Racer, will not do well in black sand. I have used the CTX where the sand was ground tracking in the single digits and I could not hear a coin at 4" while in discriminate.
Great info. Thank you again for sharing your experiance :) Looking more and more like I need to spend a few days cleaning up some sites. Off the the minelab shop today. May (probably will) return with an excal. At the least it will get my mate off his gofind 60...
Mongrel Shark. Only PI machines I'm sure you know will ignore black sands altogether. The Garrett Sea Hunter being one with a history of very good depth in difficult conditions. Cheers Chris.
I ended up with an excal. Its not great on the heavy blacksand, but fantastic on the trashy sites. My Duel Field goes great in blacksand but I dig a lot of fish hooks etc. Tiny little ones a foot deep...
I have a couple of old bricks from my Grandfathers old homestead Chimney and I'm 60 now" Happy my great uncle saved a couple to give to me before he passed.

That was the coolest dive video yet! I couldn't imagine finding all that old stuff! That's better than modern jewelry to me!
I really enjoy watching your videos it's the sense of wonder that always intrigues me

I enjoyed it very much. Your research produced the finds. I've had success using the Library of Congress map website for research.
I've been using a CZ 20 for years now. Hasn't let me down yet!! Batts last forever too!

Great video, Love my CZ here in Okinawa, Coral sand is great"
Hope you went back.I guess I'll find out watching the rest of your wonderful videos.

Noticed that too
Hi mate, I noticed when you found the spoon, that there was a coin sitting on top of that rock about 6 inches away!
Nothing beats the Fisher Cz21.
The detector pro "Underwater" will be fun though when it comed out.
Love it too
Love mine" Very rugged too
Very cool video!
I love fanning,,,,,nothing like watching that gold emerge from the bottom"
Awesome finds!!!!!

Enjoyed your video!! Subbed!
Awesome vid again thanks for that hh, gl for the next
Great video.
Cool finds
Very cool , im deciding now to buy cz21
Love the CZ

that was awesome :)
I don't know why you don't use the strainer scoop.

at o.24 there is something to the left that looks like a ring dented
I like the baby fluke.
Cool video
Bel video,Complimenti
0:23 left corner. almost looks like a ring
how many metal detectors do you have😀
That is one all some dive thats my kind of hunting
that large cent came out shiny right when you wiped it off. Thats weird
+Jake Penny II Not weird for salt water. Copper sometimes looks "shiny" as soon as the crust breaks off like it did in this video.
Why don't you use a pinpointer?
+Nightwolf1972 I do in certain conditions but when the visibility is good, its easier just waiving the sand away.
Why did you not pick up the brick
Bricks were everywhere.
I love this old bricks xD
I have a couple of old bricks from my Grandfathers old homestead Chimney and I'm 60 now" Happy my great uncle saved a couple to give to me before he passed.
Very kewel Video
Interesting.
Why did you see the two
0:23 ring never got
Some of those shells when upside down fill in with sand and the rim looks like a ring.
i stork to catch scargo , scuba looks fun, water proof detector must be pricy
try using a scoop next time, instead of fanning.
I like fanning.....seems to be more exciting"
Don't rub the coins with your gloves. You sure recked the large cent.
My Excalibur’s is it
