Thanks bro..

But which one of the kits is the best one?
Im planning to use it in salt water beaches.

Im really confused which one is better, others claiming that they built better than the other...  Huh?

The Surf is a Really Good Simple Project.

The Baracuda a bit more complicated but a bit better.

The Hammerhead even more complicated and just about every aspect adjustable.   Made more as a Test Bed to learn but Formable for sure.

Mind you this is just my Opinion.    And you know how those are.

Just checking it seems two of the three are out of stock.

Talk to him and see when that will be corrected. Cool

Surf Pi and Baracuda are both in stock - Hammerhead I only have pcb's at the moment

Unless you are fairly practised in electronics I would recommmend surf/baracuda for your first build
Hammerhead has 11 pots and can be very confusing to get going

As for depth, the bigger the coil you use, the more depth you get, but loose sensitivity to small items
If you want to hunt for coins/jewellery 20-25cm diameter is good

Whichever you choose, I hope you find something nice
