we have only expII, quattros, sovereigns and excals working here now in va beach, no one has sprung for any of the xterras yet, so i have no one to ask

are that this will be a nice second or backup beach machine and may even be first choice for some because of the dead-on target ID. Works terrific on the dry sand - seems plenty deep, and wet salt sand hasn't been a problem; transition from dry to wet pretty smooth if you don't have the sensitivity up too high and you have beach mode on. I haven't taken it in the water but a few waves have splashed over the coil and I was surprised at how quiet it was. All these tests were with the HF coil, haven't tried the MF yet.
