As this is my first post I would just like to say hi to everyone!

After an all rounder for relic/coins, beach & gold whether it be via multiple coils or multi frequency in the same detector.
Models which have been considered so far are;
Minelab Xterra 705 dual pack
Minelab Etrack
Garret AT Gold / Pro
Tesoro Tejon (lifetime warranty sounds appealing all though may not be quite as good on gold ir sand?)
Fisher F75 (Single frequency not as good on wet sand?)

Open to any other recommendations of all rounders in this price point.

Thanks in advance for any advice!

Welcome Boom.
You would find an E Trac hard to beat. I used one for 5 years and found heaps on
beach and land. No issues on wet sand at all.
