Very special detector. It will go crazy on the wet salt sand, so stick to the dry sand.

You are going to need a very fine sifter, as it will hit on incredibly tiny targets (like bird shot sized).

Many targets will fall right the holes of a standard sand scoop.

You can null out iron, but you will dig everything else, including tiny flecks of aluminium and such.

That sifter is critical. You will get frustrated and worn out without it.

Good luck and let us know how you do!
