True , but the features on the detector sound like a plus in the wet at the beach using the dd coil , a D2 depth hype killer , when gold sinks deep bro . , looks like you will be posting d2 threads on dirt soon if it cuts the mustard with the dual balance auto track , dd coil with iron indicator , but dang still hits on bottle caps - just like your D2
Actually Earl I think this new Axiom might work on the beach. It is weatherproof. If it don’t cost too much. Get one and give it a whirl. Weight seems reasonable. And don’t look complicated or takes a long time to set up.
There is a gent who just might take one to great salt lake and use. He has YouTube channel. If it performs there it surely can handle east coast salt sand.
Relics and rings is his channel I think.
