[QUOTE="Goldpick, post: 212445, member: 1695"] The Deus is more oriented to land detecting, so I would probably cross that off your list if venturing near to or in salt water. The Etrac should cover most of what you are asking, though if concerned about accidentally dropping it in the the drink, the extra $$$ for the CTX might be good insurance. The CTX also offers faster recovery speeds than the Etrac, amongst other improvements/features. A budget option would be the Minelab Sovereign if you can locate a good second hand unit, though we are talking about an audio only detector, no fancy screens. If you want to keep the AT Gold for coin/relics, a another option might be the Minelab Excalibur (waterproof version if the Sovereign), cheaper than both the Etrac & CTX, and favoured by many beach/water hunters. :) [/QUOTE]
