Ready to Order!

[G. I. Digger]

After all your help I decided to order a new beach detector. I narrowed my search down to the Tesoro Sand Shark or the Garrett Seahunter Mark II. If I am reading correctly they both will go deep and find everything in a salt water beach environment. But, I also read that the Seahunter will be able to discriminate trash so as not to dig up the entire beach for a bobby pin. If this is true why would I choose the Sand Shark over the Seahunter, besides the warranty?

I would save the aggravation and get an Excal. A Pi is ok for backup or very rare beach situations but neither had any real form of disc. When you dial up the sea Hunter to knock out bobby pins you just lost a huge portion of any gold you might have been able to find. The dual field will do the same thing but you defeat the purpose of why we hunt the beach to start with.

On a PI when you dial in discrimination you start losing depth, fast, which is the main point in using one on the beach. The Sea Hunter MKII does have a huge plus of being able to switch out coils and headphones.
