Bells, Whistles and lights.......
Bells, Whistles and lights , the BHID has 4 tones, a bell, for close to the surface large targets. broken low tone, for iron, Mid for gold, pulltabs and foil and high for coins. The added feature is the indicator lights Red, Iron. Yellow, Gold, foil tabs. Green, Coins. So it was time to take it underwater and see what it could do, my first dive would be about 10' I shortened the shaft, went into all metal mode for the wide scan which I like to hunt for added depth and sensitivity. As I was sweeping the bottom I was getting strong hits with a green light than I would pinpoint and check the tone to see if I wanted to dig sure enough I pulled out about $3.00 in clad all dropped by swimmers and snorkelers, I found no Jewelry and my total time in the water was about 45 minutes most of the targets were at 3" to 5" of depth. One thing I was not crazy about was the floating coil I think it needs to be neutral or negative buoyancy. Time to take it to the beach and do some water hunting with it so I headed right out into the surf at low tide first thing I noticed after I ground balanced it was if I was in the breaking waves it tended to false signal and it was also hard to hold down because of the floating coil, I needed to go further out, once I was out the falsing stopped and the Threshold was stable. I pulled out a couple of fishing weights which gave a great mid tone and Yellow light. The depth of the majority of the weights where at 10" to 15" as far as Pinpointing its a breeze. Time to take it on dry sand, I searched a small cut in the sand and pulled out a total of 75 cents a bunch of beer bottle caps which rang mid tone and yellow lights but I wanted to dig possible chance of jewelry but I dug no Iron.How is a water machine on Relic hunting? I headed to an old Civil War site and went into all metal mode I was hitting Iron left and right but I was checking the targets with the lights Red bad. So checking with the tone I would get a nulling threshold tone meaning it was Iron. I go very slow and hit a target fairly close to the surface check it with the light its Yellow good, check the tone its mid even better, I dig at about 8" I pull out a nice Union Eagle button. Further searching I pull out a mini ball from about 15" and another Union Eagle button. There is an issue that was quite irritating as I would check my signals and look at the light id I could not see the Red indicator because the harness that comes with the BHID has a strap that goes right over the light but overall I think the BHID is a good multi use detector.
