Update: I went with a Minelab X-terra pro. https://www.treasurenet.com/threads/i-m-happy-but-my-wallet-is-grumbling-d.688861/ Thanks for all the help!
So I had a White's XLT for the last 25 years, and today it started showing 8 volts with a brand new set of batteries. Seems something in the hardware has fried. Since I can't send it back to White's to fix, and it's time to upgrade i'm wondering what is the best option out there for around $1000. (If I can et away with spending less that would of course be cool. I'm guessing things have gotten way better and cheaper in 25 years.)

- I mainly do coin and jewelry searching on freshwater beaches, sand volleyball courts, parks, etc.
- Perhaps some older coins, but not deep-relic-minded.
- I might go prospecting, but it's unlikely.
- I'm very unlikely to be near saltwater or mineralized sand.
- Discrimination
- Lithium Ion Batteries
- Waterproof for shallow diving
- Large and small search coils (Using a bigfoot coil now and i'm going to miss it)
- Replaceable batteries
- External battery option
- Discriminates gold from aluminum (A guy can dream, right? lol)
