Tesoro vs Garrett

[G. I. Digger]

First I want to thank everyone for their replies under my thread What's the Scoop as your advice is priceless. After reading the replies and digging farther into Pulse Induction machines I narrowed my decision down to two, with the help from Bart at Big Boys. The two machines I am looking into are the Tesoro Sand Shark and the Garrett Sea Hunter. Both are around the $600.00 range and both, from what I have read, get rave reviews. The lifetime warranty on the Tesoro might sway my decision. I am not going deep sea diving just strolls down the beach in a few inches of salt water. Does anyone have one of these machines and can share the pro's and con's?

Love, LOve, LOVE my Sand Shark! Easy to use, adjustable audio tone to mach your personal hearing, lightist PI I have ever swung, razor thin doughnut coil cuts through the water like butter, and more depth than the Excalibur with a 15" WOT coil!

I have a used one for sale customized with a Plugger Straight Shaft -

Forgot this, is the 10 inch coil worth the extra $25.00?

Terry what is a plugger straight shaft?

It redistributes the weight and is easy to swing on the beach and in the water. Shafts - Rods by Plugger

I tell everyone to get the 8" but most do not listen until they take the 10.5 in water and hate it
