Ah alright. Would you guys recommend this for shoreline and little bit in the water at the beach?
I would recommend it for the shoreline and a little bit in the water at the beach. It works fairly well for me on the beach and in the surf here on the coast. While it is certainly not the best for this type of hunting, it is the most diversified and can hunt almost anywhere. Like anything else, the more diversified you make something the more you have to make it a happy medium between the least and most extreme ends of the spectrum so you will lose some precision. But let me tell you, for the money it is going to hunt well in all types of environments. Before you take it out hunting make sure you read the manual fully and watch the instructional videos on it on the Garrett site. Then practice in your back yard a few times to get the hang of it.
When you get in the wet sand in the ocean you will have to ground balance it often and probably cut the sensitivity down a few notches. My AT-Pro usually ground balances between 10-20 in the wet sand.
If you wanted an above average beach hunting machine then you would need something like a $1,500 Minelab Excalibur.
