[QUOTE="resilientg, post: 13371, member: 718"] Thank you Nugget, I had actually already looked at that page prior to posting,...haha. It didn't seem to answer my questions. And i can imagine how difficult it is to get an answer to this type of question. Where im located (Far NQ) there's not much chance of renting a machine, so that gets ruled out. Ideally i would like to (If Possible) have a single machine that can do do underwater fresh and salt, and ground scanning because i live on a boat and when i sail i like to stop in remote places and yes occasionally drop something overboard that needs to be found. From the types of machines that i have been reading about i'm not sure if a vlf or a pi is the better way to go? If its going to be a strictly underwater machine that i should look for the Garrett sea hunter is a fair bit cheaper than the infinium and from the reviews that i have read the infinium supposedly still has a few bugs in it. Alternatively there's a 10 year old White surf pro that is for sale used at present for a reasonable sum, but is it the right machine for my needs? Should i get a light water proof type machine for the terrain that im trying to cover? (mostly wet and dry creeks and river to start with and also some of the local beaches, if so i have seen the AT Gold, and others like it. Now i dont usually care for brands, so i dont care one way or the other what make the machine is but getting the best bang for my buck and the most usable machine for the type of terrain that i have access too. Seems to be confusing for me,....and not sure if im helping make it easier,...hahaha Matthew [/QUOTE]
