Not well, and it can vary. Depends on the make up of the beach. Is the black sand in veins, layers or thick deposits.
In the heavy black sand I used all metal with poor results..
Layers where the black sand is showing each tide sand movement, thin black layer... then regular sand, than another thin layer black layer and seeing this multiple times as you dig deeper.. it does good..
The thin veins rarely have a issue and kind of look for these areas on a sloped beach.. below this area I did well on the gold.

I agree that it depends on how thick and uniform the black sand is. Found same issues with CZs ... CZs maybe had a slight advantage but not much. When the black sand (or pink or red sand) get heavy a Pulse Induction detector is the way to go.
