2500 on the beach

[mickey]

Does anyone know if the 2500 will work very well in ocean beach sand? What is a good beach detector? Thanks

It should work fairly decent in the dry sand, worse in the wet sand. If you hunt in true all metal and ground balance it, you will see some improvements. Please hunt parallel to the water so as to not be changing wet to dry sand areas or from less to more mineralization.

Garrett detectors which will better handle the dry or wet salt are the newer AT Pro, the Infinium and the Garrett Sea Hunter Mark II.

I have used the gti2500 at the beach alot and it works great in the dry sand and in the damp sand struggles in the wet I hunt in all metal deep seeking mode
don"t go into the wet sand you will find out why when you go there....
