West coast question

A

Anonymous

Guest
I'm going back out to the west coast in a few weeks and plan to detect while i'm there. I did this in the spring and was unable to get my Bandido 2 mmax to run on the beaches there. My Tigershark did run, in disc and saltwater mode only, although it too falsed more than i liked.
Any suggestions on how i might set the bandido up? I can't help thinking it ought to work. Also, has anyone on the west coast used a Deleon on the beach? I ask about the west coast because I was in Florida this year and found their mineralization to be almost nil in comparison and easy to adjust for.
THanks for any ideas.
 
What is needed is this...
* Larger 11" Double D Coil
* Maintain a Slow Sweep
* Set Your Discrimination right, avoid high levels
* Proper Sensitivity
* Ground Balance In the Dry, Set it and 4-get it
Hope I haven't been tooooo wordy. <img src="/metal/html/glasses.gif" border=0 width=15 height=15 alt=":geek:">

Thank you Greg, I'll try it next time i'm out on the coast. Nice clear directions there! <img src="/metal/html/smile.gif" border=0 width=15 height=15 alt=":)">
 
I used my Bandido II uMAX on the beaches of Southern Calif. with excellent results. Set it up (threshold & Groud Balance) on the dry sand. You can hunt the dry sand in the All Metal or Dics Modes.
On the wet sand, use only the Disc Mode. I got about 4 inches depth on a penny and dime in the wet sand (Coins I buried and tested for depth).
Hope this helps.

Leave the Threshold and Ground Balance as set on the dry sand!

Thanks Vince, I appreciate your help. Sounds like i just didn't have it set right. I'll admit i was anxious to hunt and went straight to my Tigershark when i had trouble. <img src="/metal/html/smile.gif" border=0 width=15 height=15 alt=":)"> But..i'd like to use the lighter bandido when i can so this should help me set it up.
