TTT2866 Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 G'day, just new to this forum. Wondering everyones opinions on a 2200D for beach detecting on dry or eroded sand banks? I have a few spots in mind which a pulse induction machine would be handy on spots my mates CTX can't reach. Of course I'd have to waterproof the machine but as a general machine for depth would it handle alright on these areas? Anyone here use the machine for beaches regularly? It'll be my first pulse machine, I'm a long-time user of the Equinox 600 and 800. Cost isn't an issue, I'm just getting bored and limited in parks. I found one at a decent price with a few DD coils. Would I just be wasting my time and money? The spot I have in mind is a long strip of beach where I've found a bit of silver and military relics in the past, and I know of someone who's found a half sov and someone else who's found a cartwheel penny there . I've looked in to a Whites TDI machine but seems like no one here sells them 😞 Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dances With Doves Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 Nasa Tom did a story on that machine hunting the beaches in Florida and he cleaned up on small gold jewelry kicking the butts of the excal users who compared targets with him .It is in one of the magazines in the early 2000's.

I'm still really leaning towards this machine. Any ideas how I could waterproof it? I'm thinking a dremel and some pvc casings and a heap of silicone but would there be any companies making cases to waterproof them already? More-so to stop the salt getting in to the control box. I have a very steady supply of cables at the shop if I needed to extend or adapt anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you planning on taking it under the water for long periods of time, or just sealing it against accidental submersion, etc.? Hopefully the latter...

Hopefully the latter... Definitely the latter, more-so to stop the sand and salt from getting inside the machine and ruining it. I don't plan on taking it in any water, just the dry sand.
