RAiny season is just starting but this is very unusual! Set the sensitivity at about 3 bars and stay in the dry or very high tide area. Good luck! This is why I upgraded to an Excalibur for beach hunting.

That's actually what I started doing this morning. I hit the area with all the seaweed that marks the high tide line. Here is what I found. Going out again after lunch with the family. Some change, an earring that read as iron, and some horned animal skull looking thing. Think that's off a necklace or something. Not rich yet but cool finds!

I did also find a wood necklace and a baby shell that still has both sides attached.

I suppose if you want to hunt the dry sand then it would work, but get in wet sand or in the water and i have seen at pro's chatter like crazy.

I was there six weeks ago with the CTX. Total finds were $0.36.
You should have posted your location sooner. I have a spare PI you could have borrowed.

Now that wouldve been cool, thanks for the offer though!
I only have one more day on the beach. I made about 1 dollar in change haha but it was fun. I'll see if I can find anything else before heading home.

Its fine. I started with a bounty hunter tracker IV and I live at the beach! It was fun going on the dry sand for a few months before I upgraded. The one thing I do hate about dry sand hunting though is that its much hotter on the dry sand and the bugs tend to eat you.
We hunt Daytona. Pretty much all of Florida east coast is sanded in. Bad thing is when it rains even the used to be dry sand gets noisy with single frequencies. Do have one friend who hunts Daytona with an AT pro. You wont get Minelab depth but you will find some stuff. I had ace 250's and 350's. The larger accelerater aftermarket coil worked better than the stock in the wet sand. Now all i run are Whites, Minelab, and Fisher. Started finding the goods back in the day with a Whites DFX. Still one of the best detectors ever invented.

I played with my ACE in the rained sand, and got a few false signals. I got a lot of false signals as I got closer to the low tide mark. It seems like the false signals read mostly as iron, which I would cancel out anyways. I'm would think my detection depth is affected though. Now you've got me wondering if I should get a new detecter or simply swap my coils as I detect different areas. I don't plan on doing either for a few months but I'm just curious now.

Got a ton of rain here, i am 37 foot above sea level, guess what yet another thunder storm happening wright now, just want it to dry enough so i can cut my grass with a 1300 lb mower without sinking in the turf, even the ocean temp is only 58 degree's, a depressing year so far, i hope everyones luck will change, Earl

yeah I just put a heavy mil clear plastic bag over the detector. the ace 200 is waterproof to the handle but the rest isnt so just cover it up and tape it shut the headphones you can do the same thing with a saran wrap the cable can get wet also but the headphones cant. its simple just tape and plastic.

detecting in light rain
You are probably staying in a hotel there, they usally have a free shower cap in the bathroom which will work to cover the main part of the detector.

Found my first couple gold with a Fisher F2 in the dry sand and tot lots. Don’t give up, there is gold in the dry also. Don’t let grass is greener syndrome get to you, wet sand looks tempting but stay in the dry until you find gold to pay for a wet sand capable machine.

Just got back from vacation. Yesterday was perfect! Maybe too perfect because I'm sunburned everywhere.. Hopefully you got the same weather
