Willie was your hunt all dry sand or was it wet as well? Have you tried underwater yet?
Thanks for the post and tip, good finds, glad you was not stuck by the knife!

Jim, it was all dry sand.
Today I am going to Rockport Beach to try it in shallow saltwater.
I am doubtful it will perform well as it was not designed for that ... but who knows ... it might.
I also want to see how deep the coil can be submerged before the headphones lose the wireless siginal.
I do have a new CTX-3030 purchased last month just for salt water hunting this summer.
So far its been my experience that PI detectors are the best (depth, and sensivity) in saltwater except that you dont get much discrimination.
The Multi-Freq detectors such as the Minelab Excalibur/CTX , Fisher CZ-20/21, and White's Beach Hunter ID, are the top choices for getting discrimination.
It is really hard for a single freq detector to do well in a saltwater environment.
