question: Relic Mode on Salt Beach ?

[Tim_on_Long_Island]

I use the salt beach mode on a black sand salt beach,,,but was told to use Relic Mode on the beach to get deeper depth ?? Has anyone ever tried this setting and do I have to change any settings to accommodate it ,To me, the unit will be going haywire .....,,thanks for the help,HH.Tim

First of all, any program can be run in salt compensate. You could run relic and add salt compensate.

I can't see how stock relic program could be deeper than the stock beach program. The relic has lower sensitivity and RX settings. Also it would not cancel out the salt. What is their reasoning to run relic?

If you run in the dry sand you can try running without the salt compensate in the beach program. Any time any VLF detector has to compensate for salt you will lose sensitivity to small gold. This has nothing to do with depth.

Rob, you answered a major part of it,,,,,,: "Any time any VLF detector has to compensate for salt you will lose sensitivity to small gold "...the person that told me about this , is a gold seeker on the beach...I will try the beach mode in the dry sand without salt compensate and see what happens.....thanks,.

You may get away without the salt compensate in the dry, but will need it in the damp and wet. Try and see.

I ran the coin and jewllerey program at a black sand beach with tx boost on and salt compensate and it is a coin killer. The salt compensate looses a bit of sensitivity at the midrange of the vdis scale. That means could hit gold at a higher number pretty good. This is how I understood this. I hope I helped you.

You lose gold in the foil range.

I tried the beach mode without salt compensate in the dry sand...did find coins,,did get pulltabs..so I know I was in the ring area,,,,,did find a 1957 Rosy dime,,that made my day
