Hey Folks:
I am a landlubber that has become fascinated with the prospect (pun!) of shallow water detecting. My experience has been primarily parks, old homesites, etc. Past detectors were a Sov XS2a and MXT (stolen
). Currently using a Quattro which I am quite happy with.
I want to try lake hunting - swimming areas and inland beaches. I also like the idea of being able to land-hunt in the rain. I am not a diver, and probably won't become one - but you never know.
Would one of the "scratch-and-dent" Cobras be a good starter to experiment with, or are they too "toy-like"? Price is hard to beat... Also thinking of maybe a DetectorPro Diver. Excalibur would be nice - especially since I have a WOT and Joey for it - but pretty pricey...
Another thought is a used Sov with the control box in a waterproof container. See, I have too many possibilities!
Any suggestions appreciated.
Thanks,
Wally
