Hello Everyone.
I'm a newbie with champagne taste and a beer budget. Am looking for a solid all around detector, dry and wet conditions. I've been reading this forum for a few days now trying to pick up some info from all of you friendly, knowledgeable people. I've got it in my head that a waterproof detector is what I want for my first. It rains lots here in Florida in the summer and I'd like to not have to worry about getting the control box wet and ending up with a piece of junk. Also, never know when I might slip while exploring the shallow edge of a lake or ocean tidal pool. I understand the logic of starting off with a lower level detector to see if you like the hobby, but right off my concern is that the lower level detector will leave me with an unfair opinion about the hobby.
Looks like I may have to just wait until I can afford an $800 Whites Beach Hunter or maybe a $700 PI Pro if I want to dig everything, all the time. I've seen several comments that say you have to do just that anyway to find the rings that appear to be pulltabs. Looking forward to someday coming here with pics and stories of some fun finds.
