Hi all . I'm new here , been lurking for a while and just joined a few days ago . I am still reading and studying up on detecting and looking over detectors and gear . I plan to detect on beaches , dry sand and wet sand , and inland , old homesteads , farms , etc . From what I am learning I am leaning towards either a Minelab Excaliber II for the wet sand/surf line and a second detector for dry sand/inland of which I have not really decided on as yet , or a Minelab CTX 3030 for wet sand/surf line and inland . I can see an advantage in having 2 detectors and I can also see an advantage in having just one detector that will do it all . I do realize the CTX could be over welming but I am kind of a tech person , self taught CAD/CAM CNC operation at 57 so I think I'm capable of learning the tech aspects of a high end detector . I haven't made my mind up yet on anything , I am just sharing my thinking here and asking if my thinking is sound , or if I am missing something. Any advice or opinions ? I am in no rush , I have plenty of time to research . Thanks in advance for any help you could give .
