A Problem With The Deteknix Scuba Tector

FIND GoAndGarrett On Social Media!

About GoAndGarrett: On The GoAndGarrett Metal Detecting Channel you can find a range of awesome metal detecting based videos from detecting hunts on the beach and land to scuba metal detecting hunts in the ocean! Inspired By channels such as Dallmyd who got us in to the underwater side of our channel. Or to back in the day by DeepDiggerDan & AquaChigger! For the land side of the hobby! We loved their videos and wanted to do something similar! The love for the hobby came long before that though as my father used to metal detect when I was a kid! And I’ve been in love with it ever since! We have been treasure hunting for over 7 years on YouTube now and have plenty of videos for you to sit back and enjoy! be sure to subscribe to stay updated on the adventures!

Hey guys, thanks for the video. I purchased one brand new and applied sealant straight away onto the LED casing and handle joint (thanks to you). Since then, circa. 20 dives to 15m I have had no issues. Not ideal but it worked.

Hi, have one unfortunately not used it much, and now the battery just dont last. Is there a way of replacing the battery?

1:56 you do realize it has a dive mode where it turns on and off when tilted horizontally correct? maybe not your issue but still part of the functionality I find useless quite frankly.

Send it back mate, they will sort it for you 👍

Yeah I had a similar problem with my one apparently there is a tiny little membrane under the speaker grill I didn't know this and I poked a little hole in it trying to clean all the sand in it, , I took it all apart theres only one screw holding all the inners in place I then cleaned all the circuit board with electrical cleaner and it worked fine but I did replace the membrane too, , hope this helps ya Stephen :👍👍👍

Posted about this a year ago!! Ive finally fixed mine with a bodge, might help someone...Mine did nothing but beep, vibrate and wouldn't turn off, when it finally run out of power it then wouldn't turn on unless you plugged it in!
I found it in a box today and was going to chuck it away but thought id take it apart. Take the end off, undo the one screw and pull out the electronic bit carefully as its got really thin wires attached and the problem i found is the pressure pad you use to turn it on and off and scroll settings dosent make a proper connection. Maybe not so much the scrolling bit but on and off is really hard to press. Press the on and off on the black box out of the housing and it works fine! So all I did was snip the pointy end off a cable tie, 5mm, and glued it to the on off switch and slid it back in. Makes a really tight fit but and slight touch turns it on and off and makes a proper connection. Can even tilt it to turn it on!!

I hadn't realized that the cable unplugged! I just use the usb plug.

As long as they fix it for you and at £150 they aint the cheapest either 👌👍😀

I got one of these 18 months ago and never used it. Charged, turned it on and it beeped, vibrated and flashed constantly. I put it back in the box in the shed still beeping! Just found it again so charged it and still just flashing beeping vibrating. Instructions are no good.
If I'm on my boat, kitted up ready to jump in...what should I do to be able to use it!?

[SeattleRingHunter]

What another metal detector with fragile USB connectors say it isn't so! big issue with all kinds of our gear.

The first time I used mine it broke. Sent it right back.
