i guess they both have thier ups n downs. NM seems just like florida except for the ocen and all, and the bikinis. but hey, short shorts are just as good i like the wet weather more, and the fish here are if ur lucky 24in. and only a few varities. the ocean holds alot of scary crap, tis why i dont swim in it, just fish it

Hello,

First off I have a MXT and on the beach in the wet sand it well work BUT !! it is not deep at all the best to be on the wet sand is a Excalibur 1000
of a minelab GT with a wot coil... but the wot coil is hard to pin point with the Excalibur is water proof unit so who cares if it get wet..
wear a unit that is not made for water get Salt water on it you have one Junk unit for the trash.. even a little drop of salt water well FRY a unit faster then you can pick it up. sooo on the safe side get the Excalibur it is the best for Salt water used ... come to think of it I use my Excal in both fresh and salt water.. Good Luck on the move..

does the excal descrimintate on dry land

 

[Treasure_Hunter]

Yes it does, I used mine on dry land many times.

I bought a Whites 6000 PRO XL though to use for dry land, it is a lot lighter. I found it for a good price and it still had over 18 months of Whites warranty on it.

MXT is a great Machine but only OK on the beach. If you can get it for relic hunting and a Whites Beach hunter or a Excal for the beach. Water proof machines are the best for the beach even if you do not the want to get in the water as you can rinse the salt build up off them and have no worries. If you can't do both get the DFX as it is great on land and at the beach I have found a lot of gold on the beach with my DFX.
