Can anyone recommend a metal detector for ocean beach hunting? I am trying to keep it under $300.00 if possible.
Thanks for the help.

Just so I understand, the Tiger Shark doesn't work well in salt water?
What detector would work well in salt water under $1,000?

Looks like your detector budget got a boost, huh? You can get a good used Excalibur with a sand scoop for under $1000. As for new, the Garrett AT Gold and the Fisher 1280x will work also but not as well in my opinion. You can also find many PI models for under a grand but they don't descriminate.....they go deep though.....

Don't forget to figure in a beach scoop into your budget, your going to need one. DO NOT waste your money on a cheap sand scoop, you will break it or destroy it trying to dig in the wet sand and in the water.... A good water scoop will run you $125-$200 depending on if new or used, and the size and style you buy..

Overpriced. It is no better than the Sand Shark, and harder to use. If you are going the Pulse Induction route, stay with either the Whites or Tesoro units.

Thank you, Eagle. I must say though, my first thank you (I'm a Viet Vet) was in '93 and the great people here at Tnet have INUNDATED me with thank yous and I have lost count of the number. Life is good! Terry
