... we get it!
Around the red clay, something with a fast autotrack or smooth manual ground balance is usually recommended. Tesoro's Vaquero comes to mind as one of the latter.

I would also look at the Minelab X-Terra 70. I hunt in the red clay of NC and do very well. Lots of options out there, good luck to you, Beale.,

IMO Minelab makes the best detectors. You might want a Soverign. The red clay soil has no effect on your detecting as it is not full of minerals like in Arizona, but if you were on the beach, I would say Minelab anyway. GO MINELAB! You might even consider a super deep SD3500 for relics and coins if you can afford one, they are awesome. Even a SD2200D would be good old used. I had one and it was a great gold nugget detector, but I found tons of coins and bullets and minis with it. Great relic detector! MINELAB is the way to go. TNBob

hi, in my experience, tesoros and minelabs and nautilus handle the hot soils of virginia best. i'm here in central va., and about 90% of us use these three. hh,
