Small gold on salt water beaches

[RichW]

Anyone using any of the newer gold/relic machines like the Gold Bug/G2, Nokta, Makro etc. for small gold in dry sand. I've had some success in the past with the Tesoro Stingrays but haven't tried any of the newer high frequency machines. Any suggestions?

G2 is very good on dry stuff...
I have used it on dry pebbles beach - salt water lake with very good results.
You can look in Fisher Gold Bug/Teknetics G2 forum

I have used the standard model digital Gold Bug for beach detecting and am very pleased with the performance of this detector.
It runs at 19khz and has excellent sensitivity to fine gold chains etc.

I found the Disc mode to be all but useless for wet sand beach work but the All metal VLF GB Mode is great and the ground balance works from the dry sand to the water line plus TID is displayed in this mode along with mineralisation, Ferrous and GB readouts.
Very good depth is achieved if you use the 11 inch oval DD coil. I found myself using the Gold Bug in preference to my Infinium on the salt beaches simply because it worked well and is light weight. The detector is not WP.
Unfortunately my Gold Bug was stolen from my car.

Many thanks. Appreciate your feedback.

I find virtually all MDs run pretty well in dry sand. I have used GBP, Omega, G2 and a whole ton of machines that seemed to do sand just fine. In the wet I use PIs, dual freqs and the new Racer with fair success. The Racer has pulled quarters at 6 inches from very wet and mineral rich ocean sand. It is quiet as can be and in Beach mode auto ground balances like everywhere else. I hope this helps.

Minelab Eureka Gold - the best for small gold on the dry beach!
Gold chains earrings small not miss ...
but you will dig a lot of debris as aluminum foil ...

It has three frequencies (6,4kHz \20kHz \60kHz ) that can be changed on the conditions and objectives of the search.
