Looking to purchase my first detector

[Snakeman_BK]

Hi,

I'm new to the group and would like a little help before purchasing my first detector. I've been looking at the Garrett Sea Hunter Mark II. Does anyone have experience with this model? Can I do better for the same price? How deep will this model detect? I plan on hunting on land and in the water here in Maryland as well as on dive and work trips. Thanks for the assistance!

The Sea Hunter ia a capable detector that has proven itself over the years. A bit better would Be the Tesoro Tiger Shark. I prefer a PI detector for salt water even though you dig it all. But then again on a beach you CAN dig it all since it's easy to dig there. The White's Beach HUnter ID is also a good detector. On the other end is the top of the line Minelab Excalibur. A bit pricey but woth it.
Let me know if I cna help you any more in your decision.

Hi Snakeman,The Minelab Excalibur is a great underwater detector and is higher in cost but I believe you would find it is worth it in the long run. It is very easy to use and you can go to 200 feet with it. Setting it up to meet your type of detecting is very easy. If I can help you with the purchase of an Excalibur just call me at 325-282-2329 after 3:PM CT. Ok Snakeman I hope to hear from you and God Bless.
