I have some sites I hunt,,only a novice would reach for a CTX and stock coil.
Or even an Etrac.
Have you done any inland hunting at the nastier old home sites???
Btw,, one thing I dislike about Minelab etrac and CTX,, they don't paint as good a picture for a user when it comes to iron and nail qty on a site,,Deus, Racer does a much better job here.
I don't have to test any machines. All I have to do is call some friends in Florida at about any part of it. Even got a friend who beach hunts with a Deus. I'm sticking to Minelabs until Whites pulls through one of these days. Nobody in Florida finds enough inland to worry about many finds. You got it easy where you live. Our 76 copper pennies start at a foot deep in parks. I've hammered our parks with Fishers, Garretts, Whites, Bounty hunters, etc. If you don't have something that hits a foot deep you stay home or door knock. And I don't door knock. Be nice if you ever posted finds. You can find some of mine posted. I don't post them all since people try to figure out where I'm hunting because it sux to detect here most days. Good luck with your choices. I'm more than happy with mine. It's why I own several Minelabs. If yo beach hunt here you'll see a Minelab party on any beach I ever been to. Nobody is downgrading to something they already upgraded from
