Therefore, it's highly possible that this ring commemorates the Franco-Prussian War and NOT...

    Anyone Have Experience With The Garrett Sea Hunter Mark II ?

    After my AT Pro died on me after being submerged under a WHOPPING 12 inches of water, I was thinking about ordering a Garrett Sea Hunter Mark II for my trip to Croatia. I'd just feel more confident with a dedicated submersible PI machine in the Adriatic. Has anyone here used one of these...
