The thing is,when the beach is stripped you dont need a deep machine.
The goodies are three inch deep max.
sometimes your actually picking them off the clay!
You need to be into the hard pack or down to the rocks.
Look for cuts and dips.
every now and then stick yer spade in and if it hits the pack...hammer it.
theres a post on here that Trojan wrote.

ps/not much time for the dry sand myself.....infact sand in general lol im a black pack man!

Yes i think that's why I don't like the euro ace now i want to explore the hard pack but can't with that crap machine did my nut in so gonna buy a safari minelab as well or possibly a pi machine. Would a pi machine work ok on dry sand too? would a pi machine without discrimination mean it will pick up all metal including rust iron objects but not give any false readings?
