BH Land Ranger

[SeabeeRon]

O.K., I've been using my Land Ranger for almost a year now. I hunt mostly on salt water beaches and it has done well for me in the dry sand and in tot lots and parks/turf. BUT.....when I get near the wet sand, almost NADA! Lots of what I call "one sided beeps" as I get no return tone on the back swing. I understand about salt water and high metallic sand being tough for any non PI machine. Does anyone use the Land Ranger as I am on salt beaches and have any suggestions for settings for the wet sand? I am also wondering what the next logical upgrade should be for my hunting style/locations of salt water beaches??

As nugget suggests, try raising the coil to swing it about 2 inches above the sand...do not scuff the sand. Most of the Bounty Hunters fail on wet sand, but this is true of most VLF detectors. Some of the ones at higher frequencies do well on wet sand, but to truly hunt wet sand well, you need a PI machine.

Don't forget to keep your coil height constant and swing speed also. I have found that hunting from the top of the wet sand line down toward the water instead of parallal along the beach, works best for me and I hope for you too. Live your dreams! HH regards Nugget.

When the sand is too wet I usually knock the sensitivity down abit.HH GregM
