[QUOTE="Adrian ss, post: 628093, member: 14143"] For relic hunting yes because relic hunters are often searching for iron objects and the 5000 is very good at that. As a coin shooter it will drive you nuts hitting on the masses of rubbish in parks and garden soils. A good vlf Gb discriminator is best for coin and jewellery hunting; something like the EQ 600 or 800 is great and they work very very well on the salt beaches. If you are a dig it all operator then the 5000 will work on the salt beaches. A mono coil will likely get the best depth but a DD will help eliminate iron and EMiI. Most populated beaches are chockers with steel bottle tops, bobby pins, tent pegs and ring pulls and the 5000 will find every one of them on your beach no matter how deep they may be. The tecta is not waterproof so I would be inclined to stay out of the water. Just some thoughts, Not gospel. [/QUOTE]
