Hi all! I’ve been detecting for a couple of years with a Garrett Ace 200, and am officially hooked on the hobby. I detect multiple times per week and am ready to purchase an expensive detector up to around $1,000. I mainly detect anywhere around town (parks, playgrounds, schools, sports complexes, etc), but I also detect a few times a year in highly mineralized ground/ beaches/ high trash areas (old building sites, etc). I also want to start getting into water detecting in shallow fresh water, and occasionally in shallow salt water. What would you consider to be the BEST detector options for me? I’m willing to take the time learn all the new bells and whistles of these nicer detectors. All opinions would be greatly appreciated, as I have no friends with metal detecting experience. I’ve been mulling over the Equinox 800, and have been reading old threads on here, but could still use a little advice. Thanks!
