Water Hunting: Secrets of the Pros, Volume II by Clive James Clynick

Take your beach and shallow-water metal detecting skills to the next level with Water Hunting: Secrets of the Pros, Volume II by Clive James Clynick.

Drawing on years of worldwide detecting experience, Clynick shares the methods, observations, and problem-solving techniques used by successful water hunters. The book examines how skilled detectorists read shorelines, recognize productive conditions, understand their equipment, and turn subtle clues into valuable recoveries.

The guide also includes insight from accomplished Caribbean water hunter Roland “The King” Dalcourt and explores the habits, preparation, and adaptability that separate consistently successful hunters from casual searchers.

Learn to Read the Shoreline

Finding jewelry in the water involves more than covering random ground. Waves, currents, erosion, human activity, and shoreline shape constantly move targets and sort material by weight and size.

This guide explains how to evaluate grades, sediment layers, classification, trenches, gullies, and other shoreline features that may indicate concentrated targets. Developing this awareness can help detectorists spend more time in productive areas and less time searching empty ground.

Topics Covered

• Developing “treasure awareness”

• Recognizing productive beach and water conditions

• Discovering your detector’s strengths and limitations

• Matching equipment to the search environment

• Advanced shoreline site analysis

• Understanding grades, strata, and classification

• Identifying cuts, slopes, trenches, and gullies

• Applying “wide net/narrow mesh” search methods

• Anatomy of a productive site breakthrough

• Moving from observation to action

• Combining tools, skills, and search methods

• Detector and recovery-equipment considerations

• Water-hunting safety

• Building adaptability and versatility

• Lessons from Caribbean professional Roland Dalcourt

• Personal water-hunting experiences and recoveries

Wide Net, Narrow Mesh

The “wide net/narrow mesh” approach helps hunters balance coverage with detailed searching. A broad initial search can identify promising zones, while a tighter and more methodical pattern can reveal concentrations of jewelry, coins, and other heavy targets.

Clynick explains how observation, test targets, bottom conditions, and finds patterns can guide the transition from locating a productive area to working it thoroughly.

Lessons from Professional Water Hunters

Volume II includes techniques and observations associated with Roland “The King” Dalcourt, a highly successful Caribbean water hunter. His methods demonstrate the value of preparation, site reading, disciplined coverage, and the ability to adapt when conditions change.

The book combines these professional insights with practical stories, photographs, charts, and diagrams that help illustrate important concepts.

Safety in and Around the Water

Water detecting can involve waves, currents, drop-offs, unstable bottoms, changing weather, marine life, boat traffic, and limited visibility. Never hunt beyond your experience or physical ability. Use appropriate safety equipment, research local conditions, and avoid hunting alone in hazardous water.

Always follow local regulations and obtain any required permissions before detecting on beaches, public property, private land, or protected historical sites.
