Yea, that is one big hole. That is one OLD photo too. You can see it is a Sov Elite probably with a meter added. He is digging with an army shovel with no finds pouch. I was looking up the machine the other poster mentioned and ran across that. The Safari is probably good on the sand if you like meters. It appears to be an entry level FBS like "junior" that Max uses. The others are the Etrac and now the CTX. This is the first time I have heard anyone recommend that machine for beach use and wanted to know more. The poster appears to have experienced positive results for sure. I just do not like displays. You are going to dig it anyway and there is less to get damaged.
The guy in the picture has a PPing problem obviously hole is way too big
