I have a used Tesoro Stingray II with about 25 hours of freshwater wading on it in very good condition. It has not been used for saltwater nor has it ever been at depth in freshwater, just in the shallows. The internal electronics have never been drowned and it comes with a set of alkalines installed, with only a few hours on them.
This detector is noted by many as very good on small gold items and it has a very fast recovery time.
Price is $325USD shipped in CONUS, money order only.
Includes all items in the photo below:
Long rod.
Short rod.
Original manual, warranty card(blank), original box.

The Stingray II is a waterproof VLF/TR/VLF DISCRIMINATOR machine which [Provides three basic operating modes. It can be used as an All Metal, a No-Motion Discriminate, or a Motion Discriminate detectors. The Stingray II is supplied in standard land based detector from and comes with a belt bracket for body mounting. Converting the housing from pole mount to body mount is easy. An optional, short driver's pole is available for the TH'er. The Stingray II incorporates all of Tesoro's recent technical advancements including the new ED-180, an enhanced version of the renowned ED-120 Discriminator. The expanded Discriminator range now reaches from All Metals at the low end up through SCREW Cap at high end. This detector also offers the user complete control for compensation of wet salt beaches when in the NO-Motion Discriminate (TR) mode. Exclusive monolithic shielding controls outside interference's in the search coil. Unlike other underwater detectors, the Stingray II offers both VLF and TR modes in the same instrument. It is also the only waterproof detector to offer a no-motion pinpoint mode, manual ground balance and threshold adjustment.
The Tesoro Stingray II features both VLF and TR Modes with All Metal, No-motion and Motion Discriminate operation. The variable speed Auto Tune makes precise target locating easy. The Stingray II is fast and sensitive. Any water detector will find big targets, however experienced detectorists report that no other water machine finds fine gold jewelry and chains like the Tesoro Stingray II."
Though noted above that the TR mode can be used at a saltwater beach I wouldn't use this detector as a primary saltwater hunter.
