I'm looking for an underwater metal detector working in the water close to the beach and for the beach too that I have to carry just one with me. I finally decided to try my luck snorkeling in the water with a detector.

Any recommendations for a good working underwater detector working on the beach too?

I'm located in South Florida, maybe you also know a local dealer ( I prefer to buy local and not online).

THANKS!

Why Whites Dual Field and not a Sand Shark? Can you tell me why you would buy the Whites?

I went with the 8" Sand Shark and never looked back. The coil does not float, cuts through the water with no effort, gives me all the depth I've ever needed, is easy to set up, use, and maintain - and has the best warranty of ANY waterproof detector on the market today. Last but not least, It is also a better VALUE than any PI beach machine on the market today.

The Sand Sharks coil is definitely much easier to maneuver through the water and is better balanced than the Dual Field on a stock shaft.
