Any water hunters have any advice? I am looking for a VLF water machine with tone ID. I wont be diving, just basically wading. I dont know enough about waterproof machines. I have been reading up on them but I would like to get your opinions. Thaks!!

Thats way over my price LOL!! I have 2 PI machines so Im looking for a VLF. One that I can use on land and in water. unfortunately the closest beach is about 700 miles away. Unless you want to count the Great Salt Lake. I dont like fighting tiny little gnats and deer flies so I dont go there too often.

Started with a Garrett. I think I've probably tried everything make and model from 1977, all the way to the up to the E-trac and GPX 4800.
Nothing new as for me now, I am pretty much handicapped.

The least expensive VLF water machine would be the AT Pro. It's good for fresh water, so, it won't be too good at the GSL. Use your PI detectors there. With a higher budget there are more and better choices, but, it's a decent all around machine.
