King-Of-Bling Posted August 13, 2021 Share Posted August 13, 2021 On 8/11/2021 at 7:33 PM, mn90403 said: Mike, I use the 800/15 just about all the time on the beach any more. I use no discrimination in Beach 1 at 23 sensitivity. I've learned that deep targets at first can often be a negative number. I use 50 tones mostly but I have been known to go down to 5. I stick with that even in very wet sand but I do have another setting I took from King of Bling which is Beach 2 and 2 tone which I crank up to 25. I can walk faster with that one. The other one I have to listen for low tones which I have increased my iron tones to 10 ... maybe I should increase that volume even more. Mitchel Well...well...well....TY ! 1st off = great hunt on the ring. Plenty of man made stones are worth some bucks. Close to 2 years ago I think I posted that I was getting gold on my 800/15" that were deep AND running in the negatives. Which of course 99% of the guys at the time would not dig. And many just didn't believe me ! After a few scoops or getting them out of the sand , they would read a good solid positive #. The beach 2 , 2 tone has been the ticket for me. But I will experiment with recovery speeds depending on the available targets and how much ground I want to cover. I start high , then back it down to a 3 and go real slow. It is not easy swinging the 15" SLOW and you need to be on high alert ! I also may use a #7 threshold. This might help a few hardcore pro's out there. Again , great find.

Rick N. MI Posted August 13, 2021 Share Posted August 13, 2021 That is surprising it came in at -5. Must be because of the salty sand beach. I don't see that on test rings buried deep on a fresh water beach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raphis Posted August 13, 2021 Share Posted August 13, 2021 Love the look of your star sapphire ring, Mitchel! Congrats! 👍🏼 I haven’t used my Nox at the beach yet...I probably never will, as long as my TDI Pro with 17x13” coil is still functioning. I don’t mind digging to China on the faint targets...I just quit when I’m wiped out from the digging (3-4 hrs tops)😅 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
