That is strange? Every detector I have owned, have been able to swing along the ground [sand] without any distance between the coil and sand. In fact, have that little skim coat of water on the wet sand and the coil moves LIKE MAGIC! 

But we all know why the AQ needs "height control".  Don't we! 

 

I sweep my 12.7" AQ coil directly on the wet sand with no issues...But maybe the sand here in SoCal is different from other locations?

Yes I agree! I too can skim the wet sand like a surfboard with the AQ. My previous replies are based "exclusively in the saltwater".

Good coil control is important for best results with every detector I've owned. AQ is no different and on smooth wet sand I can glide it on the surface too.

I have no idea what you are talking about with the quoted part of the statement you made. Maybe you could enlighten me with more of your expertise.
