I have a new pair ( never outside my living room ) of Tony Eisenhower MSA waterproof phones for the Tarsacci. Only tested in my living room. I am not a fan of the piezo’s. I prefer speakers.
They are identicle to the ones Dew posted earlier. PM me if interested. Paid $190 asking $170 shipped in US only please.

The VALLON is a German PI machine marketed to the armed forces for mine detection. 2010 and older models are sold as used as is. They are very heavy but also very responsive to gold.

My experience is the 800 is a dig everything detector. The target ID is to tightly grouped and unstable. I hunt salt water beaches. It is light but not very well balanced. You can't argue the price though. Dry sand, damp sand, and water you are going to dig caps and occasional Bobby pins as well as lots of tiny shards of copper and brass that will travel thru your scoop several times before
