if you are talking just the beach and not in the water,id go with the Sovereign GT & S12 coil.....the PI will dig you to death for a lot of junk as the discriminator does not work as well as a VLF.the Tiger Shark is a good fresh water machine,but lacks depth in salt sand. in salt water id use Fisher CZ21,CZ20 ,Excal.on the beach nothing will out perform the GT. everyone will have there own openion for diff reasons.mine is based only on detectors iv owned and used.

I second the opinion of Dixie Digger on all points. This hobby is about having fun while finding gold jewelry and the PI's will wear you out digging pieces of hair pins that are very deep. Course if you are young and have arms like Popeye, go for the PI's.

absolutely agree 110%. The GT is such a good all around machine and my favorite on wet sand beaches!
