Just came back from Paradise Island. Spent few hours hunting the beach in front of Riu. No gold but, I'd say that on dry beach EuroAce performed very well. I found a fair bit of clad, plenty of junk and a nice 925 silver pendant with a red stone. It was good 8" down and maybe 4" aside from a piece of steel junk screw that was maybe 4" under the surface and Ace still picked it up very nicely and the pendant was what I dug before digging / checking out the junk. For most of you it may not be a big deal but, I'm still learning and I see that I'm slowly getting to know the Ace better and better. Few weeks ago, I'd miss that pendant entirely or, at least, dug the junk first.
I was hoping that I could use Ace in the shallow surf but it was a big disappointment. OK, I know, Garrett says that Ace is not recommended for salty water. For me, it performed very well in shallows of the Great Lakes so, I was hoping that it may be passable in salty water. No go. Regardless of sensitivity and / or discrimination settings, with every movement of the coil or water it rang like telemarketers on Saturday morning! Same thing on the wet sand on the very edge of the surf.
I wander; can Garrett AT Pro deal with it? How can it if it is basically the same technology?
