MXT in wet salty sand

I asked this question on the other forum, but now I am asking the ones that use the MXT all the time. Does it do well on wet salty sand?
 
I had no problems with it on the wet or dry sand around the beaches of San Diego, the MXT does have a salt mode and I think it works very well.:whites::thumbup:
 
I didn't have any problems with it when detecting the beaches in Playa Del Carmen, Mexico. HH to all, Nancy
 
It worked fine for me on the Texas beaches. Rob

Did you meet a jewish/russian/swedish woman Ada there? She is 60 y.o. and into RE/rental business for Americans mostly. Chain smoker. She does not swing though!
 
No, but we had all the bartender's names down pat! LOL We went with a few good friends from the boat club, so you can only imagine. :buds: HH to all, Nancy
 
It works great in dry sand but I have never been able to get it stable in the wet salt water sand. You can use a DD coil with no coil cover and make it tolerable.

The most accurate response so far. And what the OP will end up with after some trials in practice - buying a PI machine that will be absolutely stable in wet salt sand and salt water. Just because of this reason exactly PI technology was created to begin with.
 
I used a 6 X 10 DD coil and had no trouble at all in the wet sand. It was very stable I would say more then just tolerable, that's what the 6 X 10 DD was designed for ground with high mineralization like salt beaches.
