I know this detector has a beach mode, but I keep hearing that the 705 chatters a lot in wet salt sand and is not usable there.
Can anyone who has used their 705 on salt water beaches chime in on this one? I realize that mineralization can vary from beach to beach, but I would like a detector I can take to the seashore (and that includes wet sand) every now and again. I don't plan on taking it into the water.
I also wonder if using the 3 kHz coil will work better on salt water beaches as the lower frequencies tend to do better there.
