Took 'er out to Santa Monica beach two days ago and as the surf pirates might say, "Thar... she blows". She did great in the dry sand but anything with a hint of moisture and she went crazy. No fastgrab possible and even manual GB was nearly impossible. I finally settled on a GB of 5 in the wet (this was more arbitrary than anything else, because I couldn't get an even tone when pumping the coil at all). After about 1/4 mile of pounding, I ended up with one dime!!! On the way back I tried hunting in the water with the coil submerged and had the overload siren blaring the whole time. I was quite disappointed, but I rarely hunt the beach so I guess I can live with being a landlocked MDer (at least until I can afford a beach machine).
Something that occurred to me after the fact, though... would playing with the frequencies made a difference? I'm kicking myself because I didn't think about it at the time.
