G-2 at the salt beach, fresh water sand?
- Thread starter ToniSteve

I'm sure you can guess which three models in your personal listing I happen to like, right? 
One of those is still on my search list as I never should have sold it.
Meanwhile, I've been doing pretty well this year with a Teknetics models and I have to tell you, the new G2 scores high in my book for certain applications. I do like to hunt in a traditional, threshold-based All Metal mode from time to time and I especially like the G2 for that use. Nice, fine-tuning Threshold, and most sites so far I work it at maximum Sensitivity/Gain. Of the coils I work it best with the round 5" DD, mailing in the Disseminate mode, but have used both Discriminate and All metal with the 11" BiAxial DD. The other coils have worked OK for me so far, but these two have helped prove the G2 as a model to have in my arsenal.
I've worked the G2 to determine how well I like it on freshwater and salt water conditions.
If I get up your direction in the next few weeks and the weather permits, I'll let you check it out. In the meantime, I hope you'll both get out and have some fall-weather success.

So far, not a problem. I've used the All Metal mode a fair amount for depth and coverage, mainly with the 11" DD coil, but used the Disc. mode an equal amount with both coils, finding the 5" DD a great pick when hitting the trashy areas where they picnic around the big logs and or grassy clusters at the beach. So far, the G2 has been one of the best detectors I have ever used at the beach! Wet or dry, smaller coil or large, the G2 ranks right up their in my personal arsenal.ToniSteve said:
Our recent rains have helped to raise the water in bot the Columbia and Willamette Rivers and those beaches are quite mineralized (iron challenged mineral issues). I haven't used the 5" DD there yet, but the 11" DD handles things well. They are definitely "bad ground" environments so some depth can be compromised, but overall the G2 gets the thumbs-up from me.ToniSteve said:
