I went detecting at a state park beach in Delaware a couple years ago with a 250...didn't realize how bad the wet sand would be for it.
I've upgraded to the CTX 3030 and now am wondering where I should go with it to help justify it's cost and ease my buyer's guilt :)

edit: I'll be driving from Central New York

Thanks for the welcome! I guess I'm not as interested in the tourist beaches as I am in the ones that don't get re-sanded(?). When I went to Cape Henlopen, the beaches there looked pretty empty, the waves were pretty violent...so not family friendly. So that's probably where I'll go back to, but only because I lack knowledge of any other beaches.

I'd even try google maps or google earth view of a particular beach to see if it gets traffic. Evening is good or even monday morning after a nice weekend. Just my 2c.
