hello everybody.
i am a newbie and i have the same question. deciding on my first detector. i have been reading the forums trying to get guidance. i had it narrowed down to the fisher f2 or the tesoro silver umax. i live in the new york city area about 1 mile from the beach. i camp up in the catskils and the adrondacks near fresh water lakes. however i would probally be using it mostly in parks and such .i went to a dealer today and he told me that the soil in the ny city area is highly mineralized so the tesoro would be no good and the fisher would be too sensitive and no good . he thought i should go with a whites or the garrett 250. (he seemed to have a lot of whites and garretts in stock). the more i read the more confused i get. paralysis of analysis. PLEASE HELP......
i would consider a used model of somekind in that price range if would be better suited. just to confuse me more
