I took my new Ace 350 to the Jersey shore on Saturday morning. It was a chilly windy day with the sand blowing across the beach and I only stayed about 4 hours. Was detecting in zero mode (All Metal) with the sensitivity set at 4 & 5 bars. Found a couple of coins in the wet sand but most of the targets were in the dry sand so I mainly detected in the dry. My total for the day was 21 clad coins totaling $1.60. I am a newbie so I cannot tell if the 350 performed better in the wet sand than the 250. I did venture into the water a little bit but was very leery of the waves coming in.
