5.0 out of 5 stars easy to learn, easy to use, August 28, 2007
This review is from: American Hawks Explorer Metal Detector Arm Support, View Meter, Waterproof Search Coil with Headphone, Bag, Batteries (Misc.)
For most metal detectors, we need to learn and practice before we can really get it work. This model is very easy to operate without spending a lot of time learning. I recommend this model for lazy people like me.

The performance is also as I expected.

5.0 out of 5 stars It is good., April 25, 2008
This review is from: American Hawks Explorer Metal Detector Arm Support, View Meter, Waterproof Search Coil with Headphone, Bag, Batteries (Misc.)
I bought one from a local dealer and started scanning my boy friend's yard (house built in 1920's). Immediately I picked up all sorts of signals. After a while I became used to the different tones and began discriminating what to and not to dig. I found 3 spoons, one of them is silver, and 5 wheat pennies. The next day I found about $ in change. I think its a great deal for the money.

5.0 out of 5 stars Buy one from American Hawks, July 1, 2008
The Deep Blue is not for everyone. This machine is for the serious treasure seeker only.

When I first got my machine about 3 months ago, I was amazed at how easy it seemed to work. Then as the ground thawed and I started to hunt I soon became dissatisfied. It seemed to have poor depth and very unstable. The tone would bounce all over the place and I dug as many as 10 holes to 1 real target. I thought it was a piece of junk!

A friend who also owned the same machine convinced me to calm down and begin to learn the machine. I took his advice and made a "coin garden" and began studying how the detector responded to different targets. I then went into the field with the attitude to learn and not gripe.

Today after about 60 hours of practice I love the Deep Blue. It's a great land hunting machine, the best I've ever owned. And I've owned the best of other brands.

The secret is to learn the machine. It does give a distinct tone for coins, jewelry, and artifacts. In fact, for the price, it's probably the best Civil War relic machine in the world. It's also a killer in high trash areas.

Now I just need to see how well it does at the beach.
