Opinions for beach hunting. F75 or C$?

[cc]

I am going to the beach for a week in July and was wondering which detector is better for wet and dry hunting?

I'm getting to know the F75 pretty well, but have the C$ as a backup and have heard that it might be better on the beach. Unfortunately I only have room to take one detector not both. Anyone have any thoughts to share?

Thanks!

The F75 is great in the dry sand. Using JE mode should be killer on small gold rings, & you can even play with the notches if some other trash becomes pesky.
At low tide, I would switch up to the C$ which does have a salt mode & works better in wet black sands. You may have to balance the C$ in drier sand & then walk down to the waters edge....
I HAVE made the F75 work in wet sands here, but I had to back the sensitivity down to like 50-60, switch to DE or BC, & run it with some chatter...
HH,
Bill
