You do not say what type of detector your looking for.   VLF or PI?

You may opt for a used unit due to the fact that Good Aquatic machines are a bit more then your looking to spend.

Have a look here.

As was stated earlier, KellyCo has a few models that fit your needs. Get a PI (Pulse Induction) machine and you can guarantee it will work in both fresh and salt water equally well.

It's all about that moment when metal that hasn't seen the light of day for generations frees itself from the soil and presents itself to me.

Hi - ive spent a lot of time on beaches in the uk -i use a garrett ace 250 - great on the beach just turn the discrimination down and notch out the ring pulls - great inland too - would also recommend a pro pointer for quick retrieval or a scoop - although these arent so great on the wet sand though

Dont really know, I was looking at adding it on for 200 if I bought my omega from them. I was wondering if they were just not very popular and that was why they were on clearance. The older ones had a good reputation.
