Default Newbie....Beach and land detector choices

Hi everyone,

I am sure you get this all the time. I will do some searching but I get lost easy.

I am looking for a decent easy to use machine that can be used at the beach firstly and inland also.

Maybe this isnt possible. I have a $300-$400 budget.

Thank you in advance.

Brian

In my opinion, the beach machine needs to be waterproof...period.

On land (again IMHO), you want a VLF machine...period.

Those two things being said, I recommend the Detector Pro Wader. It's over your budget, but works great.
