Hello!!!
I am trying to decide on a metal detector to use for my graduate research. I have had issues with pin pointers because they only detect metal 2-4inches deep, so I need something with more depth detection. I am doing some research on hardware detection ingested or found exteriorly on turtles. This will include detecting fishing hooks or bullets that are embedded on the turtles or swallowed by them. I need a metal detector that will detect those items at at least 10" deep, due to how large Alligator Snapping Turtles can get, and through their shells. I will be working on a river and in a boat, so it would be nice if the metal detector was manageable to handle/ store and water resistant. It would be great if there was one $500 or less, but will take suggestions on ones that are pricier.
Criteria:

Criteria:
- detects metal 10inches down or more
- preferably less than $500
- water resistance
- easily stored
