Am very interested in how it handles the black sand as if it does OK then I might just be able to get back into beach hunting again! :)

Chose to concentrate on deep repeatable signals and 3rd target was a 9ct mens ring. Easy 3 full scoops deep ( and then some). Must have been my lucky week! File Attachment(s): 13942985428890.jpg

I have been out every low tide since Thursday and got nothing...maybe $10 and a junk necklace. most the time I don't get any signals. today I got a hook in 2 hours:( 1 beep... I don't like to get wet but I mite have to... getting sick of no beeps but the things I do get are mostly deep 10+ and the Whites dual field pi runs nice and smooth finding bobby pins 6inches easy.
