Good day,
My first post to this form as well as first post regarding Metal Detecting in general.
I currently own no metal detecting equipment and I'm not looking to spend a bunch of money in the hopes of getting rich but rather a peaceful hobby where I can go out and get some fresh air and some exercise and in the hopes of finding the odd treasure ( by treasure I mean anything of value that and at the same time cleaning up public beaches and waterways from litter ).
So I've done a BUNCH of reading and watching of videos and I've come to the conclusion that I'll be doing saltwater beaches and eventually get my diving certificate and graduate to salt water diving and in order to do this i'll need the right gear...
Minelab Excalibur II is the talk of the internet however they've had a rather poor history of quality control and poor customer service ( last thing I want to do is invest 2k into gear that knobs will break or strip or leak or cables rot away )
Fisher CZ-21... The thing is built like a tank ( at least my first impressions ) and looks suitable for underwater exploring, I've seen no horror stories from users regarding QC or customer service.
I'm new to this so I'm asking for your professional opinion on the pros and cons of the Excalibur II and the CZ-21.
Thank you all and happy hunting !.
