that has no salt ground balance mode. Best bet is to balance in the dry sand and then reduce sensitivity to eliminate falsing. If you notice the falsing is giving a small positive number like +1 to +3, then you can also increase the Disc level to ignore it.

and got surprising depth.

I GBed on dry sand, then moved to wet to hunt. I used all-metal mode and basically ignored the signals that I came to recognize as false ground beeps (they usually occur at the end of the sweeps or when the coil touches the sand).

I was digging good, deep targets this way, some at 10-12" or more!

The Excel seemed to work fine this way down to just above the surf line where the sand is saturated and mucky.
