I currently run a Garrett GTAx 1000 that i purchased used from original owner and have ran it for a few years now. It has served me quite well for a starting unit and has provided many interesting finds but now it's time for a change i think. I would like to pick up a underwater unit and after much thought have decided the tiger shark would be my best bet, although the minelab Excalibur 1000 seems great too. I still have to make a final decision there, what do you think of these 2 units? Also i would like to update my land detector and am thinking of either the whites DFX or the minelab explorer II. What do you think of these models?
The underwater hunting would be primarily freshwater, not sure if i would get the opportunity for salt water hunting or not. The land detector I'm thinking i would like newer technology than the GTAx 1000 to continue my coin/jewelry/beach and relic hunting with. Something with newer technology that still carries target ID and more sensitivity.
I primarily hunt in Ohio and Michigan mainly and hoped that i could get some guidance from the experiences of others here. Being on a somewhat "fixed" income i wanted to insure that i got a good quality unit and certainly not drop from the quality that i am already accustomed to from my GTAx, needles and analog are somewhat difficult for me that's why i prefer the digital target ID machines.
Any help or input would be greatly appreciated and thanks in advance.
