[QUOTE="grubstake, post: 178090, member: 4012"] Beach detecting covers two very different areas: [b]1[/b]. [b]Dry sand[/b] is easy - almost any detector will handle it OK, some better than others of course. [b]2[/b]. [b]Wet sand[/b] is a whole different ball game, with only a select few detectors coping well. Minelab multi-frequency machines - Sovereigns and Explorers - would be your best bet, although neither are waterproof if you want to go wading/diving: for that you need a more specialised machine such as the Minelab Excalibur. Single frequency detectors (eg. Minelab XTerra 705, Garrett AT Pro, Fisher F5, Whites MXT), aren't impossible to use on wet sand, but they're noisy, making them harder to work with. Good luck, whatever you choose! [/QUOTE]
