Sea Machine - Garrett SH II, Whites DF, Sand Shark, or CZ-21?

I'm in the market for a good beach machine. I plan to use it mostly along the shoreline and in the surf (no diving), so submersability is not a requirement. I also want to be able to use it on the dry sand ocassionally - the beach I hunt at is fairly clean with very little trash to contend with. I've read good reviews on the Garrett Sea Hunter II, the Whites Dual Field, the Tesoro Sand Shark and the Fisher CZ-21. I would appreciate your thoughts and recommendations for my particular hunting criteria.
 
I bought the Sea Hunter about a month ago and am very impressed. I would highly recommend it for surf, wet sand, and dry sand. Very good Machine.
 
I like the Sand Shark, i have had the Garrett Infinium and its a very good machine, but the Sand Shark to me seems to be a better unit, it is lighter and balances out better than any detector that i have used. The quick button release for the control box is so handy just push in on the four buttons and you can reposition the box to several different locations. It is very smooth in and out of the water. There is no discrimination like the SH11 but if your beach is clean of junk this would be a good choice.

Life time warranty is a plus, and with the 10.5 coil it will cover a lit of ground.

In February i pulled out a 14k gold ring with 3 diamonds at about 12 inches.
 
Anyone out there have experience with the CZ-21 in the conditions described? I have an opportunity to pick up a slightly used one for about half the retail price. Thoughts?
 
A good working CZ21 at half retail sounds like a good deal. CZ's are very good detectors. On a clean beach you can run in auto tune (all metal) with the sensitivity turned up a bit and the volume in full boost mode and find some pretty deep targets. Can also run discrimination and listen to the tones to give some target ID information. In discrimination mode you do not want to run the sensitivity too high or you get false target hits. The give away is that they do not really repeat well if they repeat at all. The PI detectors may be a little deeper, but not by huge amounts. CZ's and the PI detectors I've used so far all like to be swept at relaxed sweep speeds to get best depth.
Cheers,
