few hours with the deus on the beach

[Tomo]

Missing the beach so I thought I'd give the 3.2 update a try out after work.
On dry it's business as normal using deus fast. Worked just like on land.
Set it to wet beach
On Damp sand, this is we're you dig a hole and it doesn't fill with water. On this it chattered a bit but was bearable. I could tell a target easy enough but never found anything at depth, few inches was the norm.
On the wet, this is where the hole you dig fills with water as you dig, it chattered like a demented monkey. Hard to tell what was a target and what wasn't. Most targets I dug on the wet were of good size so not sure if I missed the smaller stuff. Hates salt water with a passion and struggled on iron infested salty area's.
In all fairness it's not a beach detector and doesn't claim to be and xp have tried there best to give us a beach setting.
All beach's have diff mineralization and it will prob work better on some beach's and not so good on others like ours.

Tomo,at least you can still do your usual beach detecting albeit not in the same league as the CTX, but with your health problems at least you can still detect with the Deus

Couldn't stand the constant chatter mega lol. I think an Excalibur will be needed soon

The beauty of the ExCal is you can take the control box off the shaft and waist mount it and reduce the weight right down.

How about a minelab sovereign just for the beach tom? I think the control box can be hip mounted so the weight might not be too bad on your arm.

Pity xp can't make a multi frequency program slot tomo, would have a chance then, the only way I found the wet beach bearable on our York's coasts was with the large coil. Tried the PI, but me old legs couldn't handle all that digging, especially when 90% of the finds are junk. buying another Gt will cure that.....
