Question about salt mode

[harvdog42]

What is the difference between salt mode and normal mode besides the obvious. Do you lose a little depth by going to salt mode? Just wondering.

Harvdog,

I don't think you lose any depth, but the sensitivity to gold diminishes in salt mode. When hunting any salt water beach, especially in the zone between dry sand and wet, I always try to see if my 6a can balance in normal mode first. If it can, I hunt that way. Most times in the wet sand, I cannot GB in normal, and have to switch to salt mode or the machine will false a lot. In the dry sand, I have no problem ground balancing in normal mode.

I am not sure what the impact is on the sensitivity to gold when hunting in all metal though. I do know in discriminate mode, smaller gold targets do not hit as hard, nor as deep when hunting in salt mode as opposed to normal mode. Now that I have stated that, I have to test some smaller gold in autotune and see what, if any, differences are in both modes.

Hope this helped.

You lose a little depth and sens. to small gold..Thats the bad part of a CZ3D when you have it out of advanced mode and into normal mode its locked in salt mode..
