I think you made a great point about how frequent one does beach hunting. In my case, I may get to the ocean once a year, and usually it's in Peru. That didnt happen last year because of COVID. Every couple of years we take a trip to maybe V.A. Beach, Maine, Cape Cod, Fla., etc... So how important would it be for me to spend extra 100's to have a competitive saltwater beach detector. In my case, I do prefer waterproof because we live near the Great Lakes and usually go at least once a year. I also love hunting around old swimming holes in the mountains...that sort of thing....and that's all freshwater. Personally I'd like to learn more about Anfibio. It doesn't seem to get any threads here. Seems 90% of all detector brand discussion here is Nox, Vanquish and Simplex. That really says alot for the modestly priced Simplex being pitted against machines costing 100's more again and again! Also, I generally prefer the build, ergonomics and basic platform of Nokta products far more than Minelab, but I do see the obvious superiority of a multi-frequency and especially a simultaneous frequency machine. On my budget, and preferring Nokta for the reasons I said, I've had my eye out for a deal on a Multi-Kruzer or Anfibio Multi. That is a compromise on Minelab simultaneous search I'm willing to take. I also have the Gold Kruzer already so the two Kruzers could share some accessories. I dont mind scanning an area a few times in different single frequencies. I think there is actually more to be learned about a site that way.
