Aquavision Pro

WORTHLESS PIECE OF CACK

Jim-$200 dollars-poorer-mason in UK -
How best to describe this cheap made chinese "colander".The one item missing in the specifications is how many litres of water it absorbs once submerged for 15 seconds or less!! Does it actually detect metal underwater? I never got to find out as you can probably tell from reading the above. STEER CLEAR unless of course you enjoy throwing money away.

AquaVision Pro

SandWalker in California -
I bought the AquaVision off Ebay 5 years ago. Before I used it, I made sure both end caps were tight. Disc is a little sloppy, but the machine works good. Head phones still work good after all this time and use. I have other detectors, cheap and high end, this one rates average. I have used it in Florida, NC, and California. Works fine.

Trash detector

doug in new jersey usa -
I bought a viper trident from kellyco 3 years ago and returned it and lost the 20% restocking fee. The headphone pads kept falling off, real junk. These are the same detectors with different names. How can kellyco sell these chinese junks?????

Total Piece of Cr*p

George Goosack in Rehoboth, Deleware -
Bought an Aquavision Pro and couldn't wait to get to the beach. It falsed a lot in the dry and wet sand, but when I took that bad boy into the surf it fizzled out in about 15 seconds. I left it there, not even wasting the time to take it to a trash can. Within minutes I see a small boy bringing it onto the beach with a big smile on his face. His dad took it and attempted to turn it on for about 5 minutes. All of a sudden I see him chopping and hacking the beach with it. It must have shocked him or something. He took what was left of it and slung that mo fo into the ocean. Made me feel good.

Don't even buy one of these, Chinese cr*p worth about £20 in UK money they should not be aloud to sell these machines on ebay, so stay clear of machines & tell your friends, even a child would think of these being cr*p. Wagga from bournemouth. Not even worth one star..

What a rip! Absolute garbage.

Bob in Miami, FL -
I too was an idiot who handed over about $150 to the guy on Ebay. These are mass produced piles of s***. Went about 10 feet underwater and the thing filled with water. I found out the cost from China on one these was about $40. Anyone can get them from China and call them whatever they want and sell them. I'll save up for a while and buy a Whites or Garrett.

Hunk of Junk!!!

Jamison in South Carolina -
I bought this exact thing through Kellyco where it is relabeled and renamed the Viper Trident. To start off when I received it and put it together the search coil was 45 deg offset from the controls. I Emailed Kellyco and the service was good,they sent me a new lower rod,but it was too big (circumference) and would not slide into the tube on the control housing! Finally I just decided the heck with it and drilled a new hole in the original rod that fit to properly line up the coil. Bench tested it and got a quarter at about 5 inches and dime about 3.5 inches.

I paid $149.00 for this while I see it being sold for $458 with a MRSP of $895.00 these prices are total rubbish!!! $149. was too much! It is cheaply made Chinese garbage! The reason I gave it a 2 instead of a 1 is because it will pickup coins very close to the surface and my 8 year old kid can use it. I haven't had it in water yet, but I suspect when I do that will be the end of it and I'll be testing out the 5 year warranty. The thing I have trouble understanding is why a company with the reputation and good service of Kellyco would bother even selling stuff like this. I will be buying a water detector this summer (Tesoro or Minelab) but I am going to have a second look at a few other dealers since Kellyco talks up the Viper Trident as such a great detector,in my eyes this destroys some of their credibility especially passing it off at $895.00 MSRP.

Great little machine

Thomas Surrey in Miami, FL -
Great, I found two silver rings and a bottlecap in the waist to chest deep surf in South Beach. So far I am very impressed with the machine it is so much fun using the headphones underwater with a mask on. For $229 I can't complain.

AQUAVISION PRO UNDERWATER DIVING METAL DETECTOR

Tim in USA -
I bought my Aquavision Pro metal detector from a reputable dealer http://betterdetector.com/aqua-vision-pro.html , I do not buy on e bay any longer because of the new search engine eBay has now and paypal is nothing but fraudulent. I have bought more than one Treasure Hunter metal detector for myself, friends and family. I have had my Aquavision Pro Treasure Hunter metal detector and have found it to be much superior to even some more expensive models I have bought, it has paid for itself over and over again and then some. Keep in mind the average underwater metal detector sells for around a thousand dollars. I bought this unit some time back and have been delighted with it. I know many of them look the same, but they are not, I have friends who has used the other units and it seems that they do not hold up or detect quite as well. I have found out that this metal detector is designed by Treasure Hunter and all the other models are Chinese copies. Although Treasure Hunters unit is made in China, the quality process, engineering and specifications are controlled by the USA company Treasure Hunter.

I would highly recommend all Treasure Hunter products that I have had including the Aquavision Pro.
