I have been using the Deus in the wet beach mode with the only adjustment is to turn up the audio to 5, no gold yet but pulling quarters,dimes and nickels out at 6" and pull tabs out at 7". The Deus is running smooth in the wet soil with little feed back. The one area i hunt there use to be an old pier and it is littered with nails and metal pieces, the Deus had no problem separating and hitting coins.
Of course it won't compete with the Excalibur but does a pretty good job on western beaches, not sure if it will on other beaches but try it and see if it works for you.
