I ran the sand shark one summer, it runs a smooth threshold compared to the scratchy threshold of whites pi.
It got ok depth, maybe because of all the black sand here.
Hits hard on small targets, as I found a few tennis anke bracelets and small toe rings
Never dunk it, only low tide hunts. It was fun to use.

I'm sure the 24 will pound on the low foil / low iron range as that's where the micro jewelry is on any detector.
I found quite a bit of small micro jewelry last year with my f75 with the stock coil in the tot lots as that's the only place I dig the low iron / low foil targets.
I don't have the time to dig those low iron / low foil targets on the trashy park's

That brings the whites v3i to mind, it will keep your brain busy for hours, maybe that's why it's still got very high resale value, even being 11 year old platform.
The f75, T2, etrac, at pro, Nox..... all are pretty easy setup with good performance.

Over looking (good) target ID ....... Bet the DFX still performs very well in a trashy north America park compared to some of the newly relesed imported relic machines.
Depth was the only thing to make a detector everybody would own a Blisstool

My wife's 84 year old nail client, name Mimi uses a ace 150, she hunts the Tot Lots & Baseball fields.
She is always finding jewelry she had that ace 150 paid off a long time ago.

F75 is a Mix bag for me, I hunt only active sport's fields and tot lots looking for jewelry.
the Target I'D is ok.... shallow nickels signals are mostly a Pulltab, the depth meter is inaccurate gotta go by sound. Percice Pinpointing is a challenge pass 4 inches.
It's a joy to swing and can swing it fast & cover lots of ground in short time.
The 5 inch coil is a la

Think there traffic volume has slowed, as once the Garrett At pro fourum there was very busy, now dead as a deserted ghost town.
The Nox hype kinda turned all metal detecting forums into Nox only forums.
Most die hard whites fans just went over to the whites forum

Great detector .....it's bullet proof....my only gripe, no volume control...... it's a very very loud detector.
Everybody in the city park will know when you have a target......but I'm from southern California where it's hot 12 months out of the year ....... so I never where headphones
