I posted 2 days ago. I want to bye a used whites detector for around 600.00 what is the best all around machine that will also work well on the beach. I have been looking at a used DFX Spectrum E Series. A MXT and XLT. I am going to mayrtle beach in a two weeks. I will also be doing a lot of coin hunting around old houses and parks.I used to have a Eagel 2 SL 90 was a great machine but not to good on the beach. Thanks again for any help Catfishjim 90

I would buy the DFX without a doubt. Use the factory preset programs until you feel ready to run it hotter. Use the stock beach program and the 950 coil for your trip to South Carolina.

The SL90 works great in dry sand but, yeah, in the wet, it sucks if there is any mineralization. So will the XLT. The DFX and MXT are better, but not a lot. A PI machine would be best for that or a Minelab like a Sov, Explorer, E-trac, etc if you like good discrimination and target ID. If you need it to be waterproof, the CTX 3030, Excalibur, or a PI unit.
