[QUOTE="Goldpick, post: 365710, member: 1695"] Pretty hard to find a detector that will do both prospecting and wet beach detecting with flawless performance, hence the why most usually go for different detectors for both types of detecting. Sounds like you have your heart set more on beach detecting vs prospecting, if so, maybe look at a multi-frequency Minelab Safari, and then sell it when the Equinox is released, or purchase a separate gold detector down the track when budget allows. Another option is something like a second hand pulse induction Whites TDi, that will give you both excellent beach ability as well as gold ability - just won't offer the same level of discriminating ability of the Safari. So many different ways to go, all depends on whether you want to buy from new etc. Bottom line beach = multi-frequency or pulse induction, so much easier to use on wet sand than a VLF, plus a distinct depth advantage. Prospecting = pulse induction (or VLF for the more experienced detectorist - more of a learning curve than PI) [/QUOTE]
