What Would You Recommend?

[BBH]

Hi, What MD would you recommend for the beach, mainly the waters edge? Don't want to pay too much, just something reliable and easy to use

for the waters edge its gotta be a pulse induction machine....anything like the cs4pi will do the job and do it well.

sovereign gt unless you got very clean beaches.
Can be had for a fair price second hand.
Still beats all modern machines on the beach hands down

Anyone know if other Sovereigns like the Elite are good in wet sand too, and how do these compare with pi machines? I don't have much experience and was wondering if I can get away with one machine for land and beach or whether a pi for the beach is a must? Thanks.

[chipmonky]

All Sovereigns can be used beach and land very good all rounder

It all depends on your budget. Lots of advice on here to help you make an informed decision

I have a sovereign elite, really great on the beach.

Second hand etrac. I've Tected along side the sov gt and the explorer and the etrac pulled out the goodys like you wouldn't believe,deep too. Sov gt and explorer both excellent machines but in my experience the etrac has the edge. Only my opinion by the way

I have a sovereign gt and have just bought a garrett seahunter pi I wanted an underwater machine for a river search I'm currently doing in the tests I've performed so far the pi is by far the deeper on the beach getting right down to the hard layers but the sov is very very good on the beach

[Dirtypaws]

Like the idea of an etrac, if I can find a second hand one cheap enough which could prove difficult, but looks like a sovereign may be a good all rounder to get me back into detecting again - I may try to pick up a pi in the future so I can compare the two on the beach (I might even get away with making out that's a birthday present for the wife!).

minelab gt
minelab quattro
great depth on wet sand and no falseing for both, gt nicest to use for long periods though.
