Fors core on wet sand.

Hi,
Just wondering if anybody has had much experience with this machine on wet salt sand.The videos i've seen look promising but I just wonder what the depth is like compared to the usual beach machines,especially if the large coil is used.
Cheers,neil.
 
On my beaches here in South Oz, I initially wasn't having much luck in the Cog mode, but played around with it some more.
I can get it to run very quiet by doing the following:

1. Cog mode
2. Ground balance and manually tweak the last few steps
3. Drop Sensitivity to about 22

Does lose depth with these settings, but for an elliptical coil i think it does well. Still retains very good sensitivity to small targets.
I'm yet to try the big coil on the wet sand.
 
Yesterday, I used the Fors Core on a wet salty beach. I was amazed at how quite it was. I really thought something was wrong with it. I buried a coin about 6 or 7 inches and the Fors detected it with no problem. I used the Di3 mode and manually ground balanced it to zero. Absolutely no falsing even with the coil under a foot or more of water.
 
No worries here either with the big coil on the CoRe -

Wet salty beaches here in NZ, I got me a small delicate silver ring around 6" down and it fair screamed for me to dig it up

I found the big coil is very sensitive to small targets as well as the other factory coils -

I hope this helps
