Tough choice...

Hi all !

I've been using a 2nd hand Quattro for ten months now, and with reasonable success.

Living at the (north) seaside, I hunt most of the time the wet sands areas at low tide, with no major problems : not enough iron to fool the "slow" quattro. (Dry sand is hunted with old TR's).

Now, I do not know you, folks, but I live in the constant fair of a failure of my equipment, so I want to buy another Minelab unit for the wet sand. Not necessary ment to be a backup. The "Q" might get some rest, too.

But what?

X-70 in prospecting mode-----any good on the wet?

Older 2nd hand explorer ...XS,II, SE are they that different from each other?

Should I save some Quattro gold to buy an Etrac?

(The Safari is not different enough from my Quattro...)

I know, those questions are frequenty asked.

The problem is I do not know these detectors.

Any help is welcome.

Thank you.

Thanks for the tips, Paul.

I have problems with PI machines, owned a Cscope 6PI and tested the 7UMD.

I don't find them to go deeper than the Quattro. In fact, I even found them to have poor detection depth compared with VLF/TR units.

But I frankly do not know about other PI models. Those C scopes are Motion PI models, I understand from some reading that other PIs are motionless detectors.

I 'll read some field tests and comments about other brands PIs.

Do they get better depth over Explorers?

Thanks again

HH
