Hello,
Just getting into this hobby but realizing now that I need a better detector. Currently have a Bounty Hunter Discovery 3300 that I picked up for $100 at Costco, but it is no good for the wet sand/sea water. I'm located in San Diego so we have a lot of black sand here. Right now I'm looking for under $1000.
I was leaning towards either Equinox 800/600 or White's Dual Field PI. I've talked to two people in my detecting club and they both kind of advised against the PI saying I would be digging too much junk or that the lack of discrimination will lead to too many signals. I don't mind digging for junk because for me that's part of the fun. I do like that fact that the Equinox would be newer technology but I also found a good deal on a White's Dual Field (~500).
Was wondering what others would recommend. Thanks for the read.
