You can pretty much ground balance to any type of soil or sand. On detectors without tracking, I work parallel to the water. That way I am not constantly changing from wet to dry sand, or vice-versa, creating the need to constantly re-ground balance. JMHO HH Randy

In my experience xterras do not do well in wet salt water sand. But dry sand they do great.

Think about it. You have a 0-20 GB range, so it can in fact balance to anything, just like any machine with adjustable GB or Auto GB would. Depending on the specific mineral makeup and level, there is likely to be a depth loss, especially in the wet where it is as close to being saturated as is possible w/o going into the water. The more important consideration might be which coil/frequency to use. I don't think that the stock coil would be my 1st choice.
