Hi I am the Scotchman from Connecticut:
I have a V3I and have been trying to get it quieted down on wet sand on the ocean. Had the machine for about a year. Basically hunt fresh water beaches and cellar holes. I have the 10 inch DD and a Eclipse 5.3 coils. The last time I was at the beach (ocean) I used the 10 inch DD. It worked great in dry sand but as soon as it got to the wet sand it went haywire as if I was sitting on a power line. Tried dropping the RF gain and changed filters but it would not quiet down. Can anyone help me with this problem? Should I use the 5.3 instead of the 10 inch coil?
