Head Hunter Wader - A Great Water Detector
Mat in Mass. -
After reading some of these posts I don't know what these people were doing with their detectors. How can you get the controls wet unless you dive under water. It clearly states that this is NOT a diving detector and the phones are only good for a 6 foot depth should you accidently drop them in the water. They are not preassurized for diving. As far as detector search depth goes, in finding things both on salt and fresh water beaches I've had to dig as much as 12 to 15 inches for a penny. Rings sound off like a giant bell as well as larger coins. For its price and size this detector packs a great punch. It is my primary detector for the water and also does a great job on land. It's the only detector that can truly be used for both.

Never again!!
Jose in Texas -
Never again will I buy a product from this company, the worst!! I was going to Hawaii and purchased this unit, after 10 minutes in the water it died, I looked and the electronics were full of water!! I let it dry over night it was working again in the morning, but after using it for 5 minutes the headphone wire fell out!! needless to say I headed to the detector shop on the island and got $200 trade in value for my new detector, i did purchase a whites unit that worked great, would not recomend the head hunter detectors to anyone!

Different and definitely worth a try
Tom MI in Anytown, AT 55555 -
If you hunt fresh water lakes very much you know that mineralization and iron trash handling can be a big issue. After using a variety of detectors I have narrowed it down to a few that compliment each other. No one machine is best at everything or in all condtions and the Wader is one worth having in your arsenal. The low frequency it uses while not hot on the small stuff will work deep on medium size stuff and add older finds to your pouch that the others missed. Rehunt your old swim areas with this detector and you will be amazed at what was left, I was.

Not impressed
Andy in IA -I have had this machine for about two years, seems to work ok, it is not going to win any awards for depth, but it does have some serious quality control problems I believe they manufactured the lowest cost water machine possible, and it shows, I have sent mine in twice and paid $75 plus shipping each time, I will not send it in again, i will buy one of the other brands that has a quality product and stands behind it.

Kent in San Diego California -This was the biggest waste of time and money i have ever experienced, The Wader with it's impressive 3" depth on a nickel!, my toddlers $5.00 toy detector works better, wish i had seen this site before i bought. live and learn.

Vince in MN -Not going to get into a long story, just have to agree with the majority of posts, poorly manufactured, and lacks in performance, for the money there are many detectors that excell over the wader.

Bugar in In. -Have seen some badmouth on the wader, but my experience has been very good, got no complaints, it works as advertised, does a fine job, most problems are caused by the operators on most machines, regardless what brand, iv'e had 27 different detectors, and the HH Wader is very good

Tony in Arizona -Well after 30 years of water detecting I guess i can express my opinion of the Detector Pro wader, The detector is based on a great idea, light weight and simple, unfortunatly it is so poorly manufactured you may not get a chance to try it, as i opened the box i noticed the cross threaded coil cable attached to the coil, then the waterproofing??? can you say snap tight? Thats right snap your battery in the headphone case it's water proof-NOT!, oh ya, then the depth, 5 inches air test on a coin was the best it would do, after speaking to others i thought maybe i had a faulty one, so I contacted the factory, They were the rudest people i have ever spoke too!, told me it was my problem! nice thing to say about a detector less than one month old! needless to say I sold it and swore never again on Detector pro, any other brand or I will sift sand with a minnow net at the beach, before i buy another Detector pro product.

A good machine for the price
Steve in Puerto Rico -I purchased a DP Wader a year and a half ago. It is a very good machine for water and beach hunting. I have had good success with it. It has its weaknesses. You have to be very careful about stressing the wiring. Discrim is good but it would be good if it could be improved for beaches full of junk.

Wildcpl651 in USA -Decent machine, decent on small gold. But has Quality issues, Broken wires and cables and manufacture doesn't stand behind them... even when they know they have a problem. They don't care if you are a second owner... even if the machine is only 2 weeks old.
