Originally, I purchased a Viper Trident off craigslist for $75. Pretty good price, IMO. But after reading most forum posts, and using it for a few weeks, I found I really did need something better for what I've been doing, as well as being a beginner.
Finally, I purchased a Fisher F2 off craigslist for $100 and am amped to go out and use it after work tonight. Just the weight difference is amazing as well as the easy-to-use settings. I found many coins with my Viper, but it was hard to read and would pick up on things which were not there, not to mention every little nudge against the sand would set it off.
My question is for those salt water hunters: For wet sand and shallow salt water, what setting should I use to drown out the minerals the salt water has which could set the detector off too easily? I've read posts all over the internet mentioning this issue, but with no real explaination as to the settings I should use.
Thanks for the help!
