[QUOTE="Ben78, post: 81217, member: 206"] I wouldn't touch ANY single frequency VLF for beach work... Been there done that. Honestly for beach use you can't go past a Minelab FBS or BBS machine, you get the best of both worlds - great depth and great discrimination/ID the downside is they aren't great at tiny things. If I was on a budget I'd buy a second hand Sovereign XS or Explorer ~$350-$600 for beaches and parks and look at a second hand TDI Pro for the gold side of things ~$1500. I personally have used Fisher Gold Bug Pro (owned) Teknetics T2 (owned) Minelab Explorer SE (owned) Fisher F5 (owned) Fisher F75 LTD GC1038 (Chinese) (owned) Sovereign XS CTX 3030 Minelab GPX5000 (owned) Whites GMT Whites TDI Pro Oz (owned) Best bang for buck combo would be Tek T2 and Whites TDI Pro Best ultimate pack - CTX3030 and GPX5000 (If the F75 did better on the beach it would replace the 3030 here - and for my uses I would pick a F75 over a 3030 as I hate the beach) [/QUOTE]
