The Safari, SE Pro and Etrac are all updated, greater versions of Minelab's Explorer S/XS. As McKinney_5900 said, ankle-deep water okay, beyond that, no. One slip or reach down and forget and let the housing or battery pack housing hit the water and its' over. I have the XS and they are great machines but I have the Excal with an Anderson Straight-shaft mod as DeepseekerADS said as my wish for water hunting. Next choices are the Tesoro Sand Shark and Fisher CZ-21. These are just my opinions so I'll just offer them up as something to check. But as you said, this is your 10yr old daughter and she may change her mind. Good luck and hope she finds one that suits her.
