Default Detector characteristics for large objects?

I'm not interested in coins, small jewelry pieces, etc. I need a detector that will find metal objects "soup can" and larger AND possibly ceramic objects with high iron content. As always as much depth as possible is desirable.

I've spend days reading spec's about finding dimes edge on and so forth but nothing about my kind of problem.

Can anyone out there recommend the type of detector I need and/or specific makes and models?

Waterproof enough to work in salt water beach zones would also be desirable.

What you need is a two box detector designed to find large targets deep.Look at the Fisher Geminii III on my site. It is a proven detector that will find what you're looking for if it's there.
Let me know if you need any more help.

Default Two Head cache detector

Thanks for the info. Is there anything special about the handles of a Fisher Gemini that would prevent them being replaced with local materials? Whatever I buy will have to be shipped to the Philippines and anything I can't fit into the forwarding companies standard boxes gets $100 or more added to the freight.


TIA

JB

The handle could be rigged but I am sure you could also get an extra handle at the time of purchase. Let me know if you want to proceed and I'll make it happen.
