[QUOTE="Goldtarget, post: 53705, member: 2152"] Tough question but i would look at slightly differently, id look at the timeline in more detail. I could be wrong but if its your first machine then it will take a while to get a feel for it, and if most of is detecting life will be shooting at the beach then i would lean toward a machine that will handle those conditions with an option for gold even if is capacity to do so is limited because its a better shooter. In the end if your getting better discrimination and greater depth (& water proof is a much bigger factor here in this environment) to get constant quality targets, thus giving a more enjoyable and profitable return, whilst sacrificing some ability to achieve gold. In reinforcing the above statement, use a shotgun for ducks and a .22 for rabbits. But you can can hunt for both with either gun. Ending up with a great vlf on the beach that is light weight and preforms will give you lasting satisfaction remembering all the great beach finds you've had when it's troublesome and squawking on the goldfields because imo gold is harder to get ongoing results without alot of time patience and a quality machine. Would love to hear what you decide. And the dealers will help no end in finding the most suitable balance of your needs. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
