Hi All
I am going to Gluf Shores Alabama on the 19th June. I plan on doing some geocaching and coin shooting. Will my BH Sharp Shooter II be ok for detecting the beach?
Thanks
Basset

Default Used my SSII on VA Beach....

it did well in the dry sand, but got pretty squirrly in the wet sand and in the water (coil only). I cranked the sensitivity way down and it still gave me a lot of falses. No problem in the dry sand, found a lot of clad. It was way early in the spring, so the jewelry deposits were down...

Good luck-HH
