The man asked about a meter for a water machine.....This is the only one that I know of.....I am not a beach hunter, so I can not comment.

Unless you choose to buy a used machine, most submersible detectors going to cost more than the AT Pro. If you are intending to search freshwater, I would suggest a used Tiger Shark.

When purchasing a water detector you have to take in account the machine will pay for itself in a short time, and all is based on your hunting locations. With this you can take the proceeds and purchase a screen machine for the land. Now this is rare but a distant friend just found a beautiful ring a few weeks ago, took it to the Jeweler, they recommended sending it to have it GIA cert. On return the jeweler bought the "stones only" for 35 g and he kept the Plat ring, less stones...hard to believe I agree but nothing better then a pic of the proceeds of the sale..less the purchase of a new CTX.

You can switch coils. No need to have separate machines.
