Have not used it on sand yet ... read the second paragraph of my blog titled "Friday night Saturday day (mis)asdventures" for a brief (unpleasant) experience with the V730 ... not really thorough, but something to watch for ...

I question the value of a pinpointer in the water. If you are diving then it could be useful but if you are wading with a big @ss scoop then you just want to narrow the target down to 3" plus or minus. The scoop and experience will take care of the rest. You are generally in water deep enough that you can't reach the target with a pinpointer anyways.
Cheers, BDA ![]() |
