looking at underwater detectors

[seas1to2]

I hit the beaches maybe 1 to 2 times a months an have a sov. elite which is a killer on the beach, but am looking to maybe get in the water.Been looking at the beach hunder ID, does anybody have anything too say about these.I would stick with minelab, but don't want too spend$1,000.00 on a detector I might use less than 1 time a month.Seen a few reviews on these but almost all where from someone that just bought it, like to hear from someone with some time under there belt with this machine. Thanks for any help.
