Hi all
Im looking for a good multi purpose dectector that I can use on the beach and other terrain, going down to the coast shortly and would like to use one on the beach. Yet, when im back I can use it somewhere else.
Any suggestions?
Thanks
Bertus

I got my G2 for that purpose.
Will see how it goes this march or april.
I think Margate is most probably scanned flat but I'm going to give it a throw, even if I have to sneak out at night.
I also don't know if the tides will be that "super" by then but I have devised some plans I'll share the success of afterwards.

I was at margate just before christmas, and I was pretty dissapointed with the finds on the beach. There are apparently a few deectorists that frequent the beach. I did however find a mint condition 1943 shilling in the grassy banks just above the kiddies pool

That would make my day for sure, I have seen a detector on the beach when I last went there about 3 years ago. Maybe I'll get some creative inspiration out there and find something cool. To get out there would be awesome enough, ek's niks gewoond nie.

You must say if you like to hunt salt water dry sand or what kind of hunt you like to do (relics) park hunt ?so you will get the best advice

I know it might be futile but want to go and test the Xterra 305 on the beach when we go down this year. I know it wasn't really built for this but still want to give it a go...Will post results once done.

Where are going to a cottage 15m away from the beach, it is also private are and beach. Sure I can find something there - but first need to get one that can work well on the beach.

Eish Bertus
They are a bit above may small change budget allocation at the moment. When I go down in May/June, what I have will have to suffice. Might get more false signals but should still find some stuff.

What I did was follow the curve on the beach created by the retaining wall that makes up the one side of the beach, just below the lifeguard room. It seems like a lot of people have dropped things off the walkway down onto the beach. I made about R25 in 20 minutes. I have posted some pics of the retaining wall I am speaking about, and the grassy banks where I found the 1943 shilling. Have fun
