hiya ,,i think they will be too high a frequency to use at the beach,,they will probably go crazy with the salt,,,,maybe dry sand will be o.k. but i dont know,,,they will see the salt as iron,,,and all these type machines see iron,,,,best of luck with it though,,,rgds ...p.s. let me know how you get on,,rgds

They will work in dry sand but not in the wet salt areas. In dry sand you can hunt for micro-gold with a nugget detector. Expect to dig about a hundred tiny pieces of aluminum foil for every good target. You will want to bring along a very fine sifter so you don't loose those small targets.

The Infinium is a great nugget machine and a great beach machine. Also has much more depth than a high
frequency VLF nugget machine. Waterproof to boot and works in salt water on black sand beaches.
