I have used mine on dry sand it works ok with most settings but wet sand is a different matter it's a bit of trial and error, all metal mode with manual ground balance and lower sensitivity works but with some loss of depth ,I also use the pin point mode on wet sand and adjust with manual ground balance I have found modern coins in wet sand using both methods but you will have to dig all signals as no discrimination in these modes at least it's an easy dig in sand.If you havn't got an instruction manual you can view one on the Fisher site .
