Whites Amphibian II, is it a good option for salt water? they ask 80 usd for it!

[Chopinco]

A guy just told me he's selling his Whites Amphibian II, he is asking about 80 usd for it! Tongue I know its really cheap! But if its in good conditions (still working with no leaks and that) would u recomend me to buy it? Ive been looking for a detector that i can use in salt water (dont wanna go deep, just the seashore).

So, what do u think? Is it a good detector?
Need ur advise!

thanks!!!

PD: i know its cheap! But i do want something useful

It's a VLF! Not so good on Salt Water but if tuned right it works.

$80.00, Not bad It will tear up the beach.

If it was me I would get it. If it didn't do what I want I would send it off to White's service center and have it checked out and tested. At that price you can afford to spend a few bucks on it if necessary.

I just like water machines. My Surfmaster was around a grand when I bought it new and has paid for it's self many times over. How many? If I told you I'd have to anchor your feet to a reef. It's 21 years old and I just spent $250 to have a new coil and headphones put on it. Only the second trip to White's in 21 years. It takes a dunkin' and keeps on T-Huntin'. They also checked out the board and tested it for leaks.
