newbie needs more help/opinions

[grunthead]

I've been reading alot on this site and others to get different views on some of the dozens of machines out there but realize there are some things I left out of my posts that could help me give a better definition of what I want.I live in Florida so the soil is sandy, and most often wet.I will be hunting parks,a couple of huge plantations(what could I find there?)and some indian sites so probably in the relic/coin shooting most of the time.However,I would like to hunt the beach/wet/dry sand also.Someone has mentioned an xlt.I've looked at the coinshooter,fishercz andcz3,infiniumect...Does this sound like a good machine for what I am going to be doing?I have read all about all of them but the more I look the more I am confused.Idon't care how much it is or how big of a learning curve I have to go through,I have the time.Let me hear it guys and gals,good and bad.If the xlt was rainproof and splasproof I would go with that but that is my big drawback from this md.Blast away and a big THANKS in advance.

Yep,been there done that.The problem there is it's one sided view and you can't communicate with the people.Don't know who is a dealer trying to push sales or a private md dude or dudette telling the truth.Thanks you.

I'm currently swinging a white's beach hunter ID, it has great depth, but a slow learning curve. There is no display save for three lights iron, gold, coin but it has a broad tone range with a different sound for everything. I use mine for hunting the water, beach and land, it is waterproof to 25' mine has developed a quirk in the sensitivity adjustment that is getting annoying, but otherwise a good machine, That being said, I'm thinking of trading it in on a cz-20. I hope this helps! Good Hunting! omnicognic 8)

In the state you're in, and with the type/s of hunting you'll be doing in the soil/s you've mentioned,

I'd go with a CZ20 or an Ex-cal 1000 or you'll not be able to do all the types of hunting at all the place's you've described. You'll end up buying 2 machines to cover all those bases if you go with much of anything else.
