Hello. I am new to the site & metal detecting. I have been thinking about getting into the sport/hobby for a while now and I am hoping that people here will help me out.
First off, I would like to use the detector in the water as well as on shore. I don't dive, but I would plan on wading. Being that I'm from Michigan, it would be fresh water. We camp a lot in the summer at state parks and I suspect that this is when and where the detector would get most of its use.
After all of my research, I am leaning toward the Tesoro Tiger Shark. I read that it works well in fresh water and pretty good on land. I gather that it also is better on gold than some of the other options in the price range. I feel that is important because lost jewelry is one thing that I hope to find.
Feel free to comment on that choice, but I also wanted some advice on the accessories that I will need to help me search. As I mentioned earlier, I have no prior experience.
Thanks.
