Wet sand

Currently using my 25 year old C-scope 770d on several beaches and seems to do well at finding stuff at depth even on wet sand. Regularly finding modern coinage and old pennies at depths of 12 inches. I keep reading posts on the forum that more modern detectors struggle on wet sand, so my question is why? Has technology not moved on significantly in past 25 years or are modern detectors too advanced for their own good. Be interested in peoples thoughts!

Two of use where talking about this the other day, I used to have a Garrett treasure ace
It would work on the damp stuff.
But my XP GMP is jumpy on the wet, Minelab appear to have machines that cope on the beach
You would think that other manufacturers would be able to add some sort of gizmo or filter.
As for tech- it can only benifit the hobby who knows what's on the development ideas of the major manufactures. The PI machine will still be the beast on the wet stuff.
I am now put on two lines for the lottery CTX 3030 one day I hope.

Hi Owain, Wow!! CScope TR770 = 12 inches on wet sand........that's just too boggling for my mind! Good luck mate. That's an 'oldie but goodie' looks worth hanging on to!!
