I am looking to upgrade from a basic entry level machine. Here are the issues and reasons I want to upgrade, if there is such a machine out there that will cover my needs without breaking the bank. for this question lets start with a 500 dollar price cap, and lets hear some good point/ bad point discussion on the detector you think would fit the bill the best, for me.
1. I need to get good hits on coins as deep as 8 inches, in my neck of the woods the "good" stuff seems to lay at right at 7 to 8 inches, unless held up shallower by tree roots etc. There is a clear point at around 8 inches where the soft black dirt turns to hard pack and the coins settle there.
2. Would like a detector that can handle some very occasional freshwater sand beaches,maybe even in knee deep water.
3. I also hunt sometimes in a very highly mineralized dirt/sand mix that throws machines for a loop with false signals, and other ground balance issues.
4. would like a machine that can handle high trash areas
Is there a machine out there that will fit the bill? And not cost an arm and a leg? Thanks for the help everyone.
