Need advice on upgrading to Minelab

Hello all, Im new to this forum but have detecting about 3 years now with a tesoro cibola and u-max and im wanting to upgrade to a minelab. I have a hard time distinguishing the tones on tesoros and need a detector that will have a visual display and is ALOT better at discriminating out the junk, which I have been digging mostly with the tesoros. Most of my detecting is for coins/jewerly/gold in tennessee soil and about 2 to 3 trips to florida beaches a year. So, my question is out of the e-trac, explorer se, safari, and x-705 gold package which one would fit my needs the best with targeting what i hunt for while having the best discrimination and also would have automatic ground balance? I was hoping there might be some old tesoro users that made the switch to minelab be able to give me some advice. The tesoros are good detectors I just feel that they dont discriminate as well as the minelabs because I end up digging everything.

It's hard to give any usable advice here without some additional information.

Your target focus covers the entire spectrum. Coins-Jewelry-Gold go for the very lowest of conductivity to the very highest and everywhere in-between.

How much and what types of trash are you currently digging?

The Explorers sift thur the trash very well in a park with the pro or SEF coils. On a beach since they are FBS machines they transition very well from wet to dry sand. They go deep and there isnt as much EMI or trash out that as you think. They are HEAVY when you have a lot of beach to cover and arent perfect on those tiny gold items. 2 or 3 trips .... id still take the Explorers over the Xterra even thou it is lighter and can change coils. But... i relic hunt and park hunt.
