Garrett ATX For Beach Detecting


NV AU Hunter

Recommended Posts

New here but wondering if anyone here can rate the SDC-2300 with 8” coil as good or better or not as good as the ATX for beach hunting (from fluffy white sugar sands to black sand etc)? I know they are both waterproof and PI’s but is that where similarities end?

The SDC out of water is a fine beach hunter though I personally prefer a larger coil for covering a beach. The SDC floats like a cork in water and at $3499 I would not be anxious to test its waterproof integrity in long term saltwater use. Despite the capability the SDC was not designed as a detector for constant underwater use. Sand in the folding mechanism and rods could prove problematic. All that adds up to why you will find few people who use the SDC for water detecting on a regular basis.
