okara gold Posted February 28, 2023 Share Posted February 28, 2023 Hi Bill…I’m going out tomorrow morning and will certainly check out that Deep Mode. I think our water will be too rough to get in so it’s the wet sand for me. I’ll hunt in deep and switch to low to check the target and see how things go. Thanks for the post!

matt Posted March 1, 2023 Share Posted March 1, 2023 2 hours ago, Bill (S. CA) said: Let me share a short story with you. A buddy of mine has a Manticore. I do not. He, like so many others, was following NASA Tom's low conductor recommendation and was lamenting his not finding gold in the wet sand at Santa Monica. I took it upon myself to read the manual online and found this: Deep Salt water beach detecting for small or thin metal objects such as fine jewellery, with aggressive settings for maximum depth� Suitable for dry and wet sand. My buddy wasn't familiar with the setting. He decided to try it the next morning at Santa Monica. In "Deep" he got a good, strong signal that he thought might be gold (I don't recall the number). He switched to low conductor and the detector would barely read it, even when he boosted the sensitivity. He said he would have walked right over it. He dug down what he estimated to be 12"/13". He recovered a 10K diamond ring. I'm not dissing NASA Tom in any way. Just saying that the guys that write these manuals know a thing or two about their detectors, right? Maybe they are worth reading. Thanks for that info! I'll give it a try next time in Hawaii. I know a beach that I can't wait to try it on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He and I have corresponded about beach hunting and he knows how to test. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
