I’d say cons are: - Not waterproof - Heavy - Deep digs - EMI??? Got another hunt in as well. Trying to detect the wet and as close to the water as possible. But the beach is so steep and washed off that it’s been too much of a challenge for my well being to try and dig targets in the rolling tide. Bad timing today too, the tide was coming up. Yeah it's best to check when the tide is headed back down. Also I didn't know that the gpx5000 was not waterproof! The ability to be near and in the water helps alot with searching for coin lines that end up consolidating in the wet. Coin lines = potential heavy stuff.

CalReg Posted February 13, 2023 Share Posted February 13, 2023 Your hunts look like mine. I'm also a Cali guy. I guess the only prescription is patience! Keep on hunting! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6mmslayer Posted March 21, 2023 Share Posted March 21, 2023 Salt gold is supposed to be good at the beach and go deep on the gpx 5000. I would be curious as to how it turned out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
