[QUOTE="PhaseTech, post: 368219, member: 3149"] A bit late to this topic. The Fors Gold+ doesn't have a COG/Salt mode so you will struggle on the wet sand with it. Best machines that will: 1. Work on the wet sand 2. Very good for coins & relics 3. A proper all-metal mode that can handle a bit of mineralization My picks would be: 1. Nokta Impact $1280 2. Makro Racer 2 $990 + 10x5" coil $1160 approx. 2B. Nokta Fors Relic $1175 3. X-Terra 705 (various options) Fors Relic is an interested one. It is hotter than the Racer 2 and runs on 19 kHz, but lacks the iSat (stability) control in the all-metal mode. So in milder soils it will hit small gold better, but the Racer 2 will handle mineralisation better. All the above except the Fors have November specials so a good time to get a good deal.
