| Mac 1 - Aquasound. |
I have three Aquasound metal detectors. They are different versions, but all were built by Herb MacDonald (deceased). They were very productive metal detectors. I used them when I was metal detecting heavily.
They are beach detectors, with no discrimination, but they did null over iron. I decided to post them, although I couldn't get the photos of two of them to upload. Not a lot of people have used them.

Accidentally Discovered Copper-Sheathed Wreck.

… In this case, however, one was found entirely by accident. Ocean researchers testing equipment 160 miles off the coast of Florida came across a wreck of a ship they believe was constructed in the mid-1800s, reports CNN. The lucky break came May 16 as scientists from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration were testing a new remotely operated vehicle, or ROV, in the Gulf of Mexico, per a release from NOAA. Much to their surprise, the ROV's sonar detected the remains of the ship in about 1,640 feet of water in the Florida Escarpment, where the sea floor plunges in steep fashion. Not much is yet known about the wooden ship itself, though it's about 124 feet long and the numbers 2-1-0-9 are visible on the edge of the rudder..
Here is the link for more about that..
Thanks to Teklord Doug for that link.

Did you know if you are carrying gold bars or anything valuable that you don't want to be made public when flying, you can request a private screening by TSA.
You might find that more discreet and secure.
