Which is the best for me?

You might want to check out Garretts AT Pro (All Terrain) detector.
It beats the old Garrett Scorpion
and probably the MXT. The machine is waterproof up to 10 feet.

I don't think anyone can tell you what detector is best for you. all metal detectors detect metal. If your bound and determined to go the one detector to do it all route then choose the type of hunting that is most important to you and go from there because most gold detectors don't make good coin hunters and most coin detectors don't make good gold hunters.The frequency debate of one being better than the other in all situations is baloney. There are to many other factors involved. The most important feature on any detector is it's capability to offset the effects of mineralization whether your hunting for coins in Ohio or gold nuggets in the western states. When it comes to gold even in it's natural state there are times when a low frequency will perform better than a high frequency so there is nothing set in stone. Some companies that specialize in VLF gold detectors know this and give you the option of switching between a low-medium or high frequency to offset the the problem that high frequency has in higher mineralization. Personally I want the best detector for the job at hand whether I'm coin hunting or nugget shooting and I haven't seen a cross over detector that is best for both.

I agree with "Oldcoon". I have a friend who will soon surpass $2500 in coins for the second year in a row and he uses nothing but a 1990's Eagle Spectrum with a stock coil... And his silver and jewelry finds will match anyone out there who doesn't hunt the beaches!
