Hi all.
I have been very happy with the SH MKII the last years, I use it exclusively on wet salt sand and it has been good to me.
I use it on cleaner parts of the wet beaches, for the dirt I prefer to use the Sovie GT.
I appreciate the easy settings, the depth (own both coils), and use the discrete mode once in a while hunting for coins on the dry.
I was thinking of extending my jewelry hunting by buying a specialty detector.
I have had FBS Minelabs, and I don't want the 3030. Sore arms I don't want any more, dislike bungees, and - at last on the explorers, the "patterns" didn't work well, and there was no sensitivity to small gold.
That being said, IL like the technology, But I prefer to use the GT by far
.
I don't want the ATX, it seems also too heavy for me, and I don't understand the price tag. Waterproof 10' costs double than waterproof 200' (Infinium). Plus I do not like the design, too complicated...
And here is my point : every research I do, everything I read about serious wet beach hunting leads me towards the Infinium. This is half the price of the ATX, and even buying all the coils for it would be cheaper, lighter and easier to swing.
Now the question is : is there a real advantage in using the Infinium VS the Sea Hunter? Less digging (wouldn't dig the lo-hi I think)? Plagued by bottlecaps ? Or not?
To sum it up : is it worth buying the LS when already owning the SHMKII?
The Idea of GBPI is something interesting, as I have some of my beaches here that are partly unworkable with the SHMKII.
Last question. ATX uses LS coils. Will it work in the other direction ?
Thanks in advance for you very welcome thoughts and advices.
