I agree with Craig here....but I use the Dual Field every where....I do try to choose my areas to avoid Iron at times. But the amount of gold I have come up with by digging everything has me sold on the PI. I use it in lakes even. The beach hunter 300 is a great detector to loved mine!!It depends on your beaches... if they are iron infested go with the beachhunter... if you are going to also hit the dry sand again go with a VLF...
Ok , So I found a mint Beach hunter used for $500. Where can I get the best deal on a PI?I agree with Craig here....but I use the Dual Field every where....I do try to choose my areas to avoid Iron at times.

In Florida almost everyone uses the Excal II or the CZ 21. I was digging way to much junk with my DF. There are really only four guys using PI machines on this forum. Look at reviews on the Beach Hunter.
