Explorer on the beach help? :shrug:

[jcooking]

Hi all,
I'm on vacation in FL for the week and have never taken my explorer to the beach. I've got more that a dozen hunts in factory coin mode and don't know what will work best on a saltwater beach. I was wondering if anyone had advice of how to set up the machine for best success on a beach.
Thanks in advance and HH!

Dry sand no problem, in wet sand you might cut back on the sensitivity a little bit, most important think to remember is if your in shallow water keep the coil down below the main controls, water will run down the shaft an water log your control housing.

I run semi-auto 32 with no falsing in the wet. Some guys will run manual but I've had better luck in semi-auto. The beauty of FBS is that you don't need to reduce sensitivity in the wet like you do with a VLF machine.

Good hunting!
