What machine for the beach

Post by Steve1080123 »

Hi all the missus loves detecting on the beach but she is using my old c-scope 5mx not ideal and i have a buyer for it im not letting her near my new sovereign gt so what do i get her for about £300 it has to be simple to set up and work ok on wet sand i looked at the c scope 3 mx but 17khz on the beach i dont think so and the laser hawkeye but again not great i would think i saw a c scope pi machine for less than £200 on ebay but no disxrimination no wonder they dont leave anything behind any ideas very gratefully received

Is there much difference between a Sovereign GT and XS2a?
I have seen the latter go for less than £300 on Ebay.
