Advice please

Post by stevec »

I have started doing more beach detecting and am looking for a versatile machine that can cope with the wet sand. I am swaying towards a Minelab and have seen a few around the £300 mark but want some opinions on different models. The choice is Explorer11, SE model, XS model or a Quattro, what do you think? Thanks.

For me the sovereign detectors have always been the dogs danglys
And I know from the amount of detectors that I have had
the sovereign range from the xs to the gt all great machines
slow recovery speed but I have found this ok just swing slow and low and you will find the goodies
