Check to see if you will be dealing with black sand where you want to detect. We get it here even by rivers well away from the coast. That can make a difference in what you need to consider.

I just picked up a Garrett AT Pro ... submersible to 10 feet ... not that I will ever do any scuba detecting. From what I have read it is not a strong salt-water detector, but it is killer in fresh-water environments.

The ground conditions will play a big factor in your decision and how happy you are with your purchase . . . you don't need to post your home address but even a general area would help others provide you with input that can help guide your selection.

I swing the F70 with the 11"dd on the beaches over here. Of course I would say its a killer fresh water beach machine, very fast recovery, very light, allows for a quick and wide sweep, batteries last a loooong time. I wade with it when the conditions are right, climb the dunes, smoke jump from beach access to the high percentage spots. Yes its paid for itself, I believe the light weight and speed allows for more ground covered, faster, link that up to reading the "beach sign" and you gotta real quick broom. I am sure just about anything would work, it really breaks down to something light enough to not throw out your arm on these big expanses of sand, and getting out there really early since the season is short. In fact, it looks like the waves have knocked down enough on the Big Lake to maybe even give it a go today.
