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

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.

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.

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.

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
