Garrett Pro Pointer on wet sand beach?

[kimbershot]

i use a garrett sea hunter 2 with the 10 x 14" coil to cover more territory in wet sand. pinpointing with this coil is not the easiest task, especially with smallish targets. i find myself digging some rather deep holes in an ever expanding circle--and still not zeroing in on target. would/is it more practical to employ a hand held unit to try and cut down on some of the digging?

I think the best thing to do is go to a place with dry sand and practice recovering targets with the large coil. Learn a routine to do the same each time you get a signal. Once you can recover the targets in easy hard packed dry sand you will be able to do the same in harder wet sand. A pin pointer can help, but more for finding those tiny pieces of aluminium/tin/lead that are hard to spot in wet sand. Good luck

A good method to use is to wiggle the coil and move the coil towards you,when the signal starts to break up,the target will be in a small area under the very front tip of the coil......try it.

garrett pro pointer works good on beach,but tape up speaker holes.
