Ok I am in the market for a detector that I can scuba, snorkel, beach(lake) hunt. 98% of the time this will be doing this in fresh water applications. I would like a good detector that can handle this in the $600 to $700 range. If there is a detector that can do this and have the ability to salt water also would be nice but is not a deciding factor. Thanks GH.

the tigershark is a one tone machine, in case this matters to you? it will see/find gold chains and very small gold that a cz20/21 or excal will not. i like having more than one tone and the tigershark was not for me.
I wasn't aware it was one tone... :( I'm so used to 4 and multi tone that I'm second guessing my decision...

yes i was the same way! i did buy one and found out then. traded it off for a g2 and i will stick with my excal and cz20.

Thanks guys for all the advice. I made up my mind sold some junk sitting around the house and made up the difference and decided on the Excalibur II. I really like the multitone, the outstanding depth, and different shaft and mounting variations for it. The only thing I don't like is the warranty(wish Minelab would step it up), but out of the 15+ people I talked to, only one had a return issue and they replaced hers with a new one. I talked to Sovereign users and I'm looking forward to trying it on land for sure.
