Detector for my soil

I am wanting to know what detector you recommend for South Carolina soil. It is more of a sandy soil than anything. I have a water detector all ready and I want to get a top notch detector for relics/coins. Price is not an issue as my current choice is the ctx 3030. I am just not sure if the ctx 3030 is going to be good on my soil and for coins and relics. My other choices for detectors as of now are as followed

CTX 3030: Reasons balanced,FBS,GPS,Waterproof,2 target id
XP Deus: light,fast,wireless
Etrac:good on coins and okay at relic hunting
SE Pro:same as etrac
F75 se,or ltd:light,fast,good on relics and okay on coins from what Ive seen,know it is good in South Carolina soils
705: multiple coils,god for coins and relics
AT Pro: good relic okay at coins and waterproof

A plus is that it is waterproof. 2 main machines AT Pro or CTX 3030 my choice would be ctx
I do not hunt alot of trashy areas but on occasions I run across Hell.
I just want to make sure that I make the right choice on my first real detector any help would be appreciated.
 
I live around the Charleston area and the soil is neutral.Any one of those detectors sounds good.Every one you mentioned is highly rated.I don't think you have to worry about the soil.Anyway each one of those could handle the soil even if does have some minerals you will be fine.Just pick you one out and happy huntin. :-D
 
what would be best with hunting iron sites? I try to stay away from them but I know alot of good sites that are just infested with iron...
 
The DeepTech GOLD is killer at separating in iron infested sites...don't take anyone's word - see video for yourself:

Like the other man said any on your list would do fine. If you are going to be hunting on the beach or in the water the CTX 3030 is an excellent machine. Your decision and your money whatever you decide take time to learn the machine and good luck. HH :minelab::fisher::teknetics:
 
If you think you may have a soil problem, I would go for something that had manual ground balancing or ground tracking.
