So, my hubby decided to surprise me & get me a water proof metal detector. He did a ton of research but since he wanted it to be a surprise he didn't ask me any questions. Just went based on the fact that I wanted something water proof & that we go to Florida every year. So he got me a Sea Hunter Mark 2 based on all the reviews he read. It is of course supposed to be a great machine but.....
The problem is that I had already done my own research and read ALL the posts on here and decided that an Equinox 800 was the best choice for me. I had accepted I wasn't going to get one anytime soon because of the cost but now that he bought me one I am thinking life is short & maybe I should just do it, LOL.
I guess before I pull the trigger I just want to make sure I am making the right choice. I want an overall good machine that will allow me to find the goodies in salt water, fresh water & on land. I am going to be doing this with my daughters & really don't need to have it be the best of the best but I do want to find stuff. I bought the Bounty Hunter Platinum for my oldest daughter and we really haven't had too much success with it. I am not sure if that is because I suck, just haven't learned the machine that well or the machine is junk or a combination of all that, LOL
Anyway, I value the opinions of you experienced guys and wanted to see if you think my research has landed me on the right choice with the Equinox 800?
