The beach is its natural environment and 8 kHz works great. It's stable and very deep, like the Equinox. Yesterday I tried a Simplex Ultra (new generation) and a men's wedding ring more than a foot deep and I can't even smell it in the wet sand...

2 Many Hobbies Posted December 24, 2023 Share Posted December 24, 2023 I found the VDI number jumping all over the place. Not too happy with it. If I wanted a beep and dig I would of kept my tesoro vaquero. I emailed Minelab and the response was no future updates for it. I returned it and looking at a different machine.

afreakofnature Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 I am really enjoying the positive reviews with the XTP on the beach. I am thinking of adding this as a strictly beach detector for overseas travel destinations. Its cheap (incase stolen at customs), breaks down easy and can be put together easy with no tools and telescopes down as well. Those are kind of my main 2 reasons, besides detecting ability. Question though, is it really bad at black sand beaches? I mean compared to the Nox, not just in general. I would like to use this on Treasure Coast, FL beaches but they can have some serious black sand when eroded down to the pay layers (Spanish Fleet silver and relics). Thoughts or has anyone tried yet?
