hey there comcat thanks for sharring i to have the dd 12 x 10 as well do you get good depth?
amcjavelin,
Should do well as long as you don't get the detector wet.
With a Cibola I have used the standard coil and 12 x 10 at the beach, with the Tejon, standard, 12 x 10 and 3.6 x 18 coils at the beach. I like larger coils at the beach for area coverage unless the sand is bad black ugly and conductive and then going with a smaller coil helps deal with it.
I tend to grab the SandShark when the sand gets real ugly (or I am going into the water).
I haven't been near as far up the coast as you are, I've been to a number of spots south of New Jersey, so can't speak about what your sand is like.
If you are dealing with a lot of big rocks (natural or man placed erosion protection) that can trap good targets, may want a small coil like the 5.75 inch to work between the rocks.
Try it and let us know what you find out.

well i was going to sell mine but i come across some good leads lately and i guess try it a little while longer, anctious to try at the salt water beaches other then that i use it to field hunt and that's about it, all metal mode can get little over 2 feet on a mason jar lid
Good luck on those mason jar lids in the dry...
Black sand/mineralization erratic operation in saltwater will be the downfall.
Of course a small splash of the saltwater itself could eat the machine in a heartbeat.
Well, just one quick fizzle...
Not worth it to me.
All the best info shows the best finds are waist deep at low tide...
Good luck !
