You shouldn't have any problems with dry sand beach. In the wet/salt water sand, you'll need to turn down your sensitivity to reduce chatter, as is the case with all single VLF metal detectors. Try to avoid touching wet salty sand with the detector.
As noted in the Quick Silver manual:
In saltwater, keep the search coil away from contact with the ground.
Contact with saltwater sands will cause the detector to beep falsely. For
best result in saltwater, eliminate IRON to reduce false signals caused by
conductive beach sands. Coil sweep technique is also important in
saltwater; keeping the coil submerged is better than dunking and lifting.
The detector needs time to readjust to the conductive salt water.

Great advice! I thought maybe crabs took my loot !! I had SO many pings on the wet sand with BH SS II. Thanks
