What is the best one? Here in Indiana, we need to find "hot rocks/black sand" pockets, thats the best gold trap in a creek in NW Indiana. Im a dredger and go deeper than my ace 250 will allow. Waterproof pinpointers are great...but tiny. I need help peeps. School me if you must...I love FORUMS.

P.S. There is mostly sand (yellow & white) in my area, glaciar till is amazing...but I need to find the pockets.

ANY HELP WOULD BE GREAT...THANKS IN ADVANCE.

That's fresh water, so you don't need a salt water detector, so you can rule out an Excal, don't know about the CZ-21 - but they're both at or above the thousand dollar range. Tesoro Tiger Shark is for fresh water and about half the cost of the Excal and CZ-21.

On these I'm thinking fully submersible.

But I'd look at detectors with waterproof coils.

The SDC 2300 is probably the "Best" waterproof defector for detecting naturally occurring tiny pieces of gold. Get ready to fork out some $$$$ though.
The Garrett AT Gold is fully submersible and gold bug pro, gold bug 2, Makro racer gold are a few other options that are not submersible.
