Hello,

Brand new member, soon to enter the hobby. I'm living in southeast Louisiana, northwest of New Orleans and due west of Baton Rouge. I've got lots to learn and have been reading all I can about the hobby and trying to sort out my first detector. I have narrowed my search for my first detector to the Teknetics Eurotek Pro. I was leaning hard to the AT Pro, because of the amount of water we have in the area but I believe the Eurotek Pro might be a better started detector. Not sure what coil to choose, would the 11" DD coil be a better choice than the 8" concentric? Also is either of these coils waterproof? OK, if anyone has any feedback, suggestions, or comments I'm all ears.

Thanks,

Randy
