Hi Tom,I checked my ground balance numbers in beach deep & LC,when I enter thecwater they are 48,an when I do the next G.B in 1m water,they rise to 52 an stay around that number for the next 4 hours . I believe the G.B is trying to mitigate the extreem salt aswell as the ground.. It's a shame mi...

Yesthis is with 11 inch coil I tried the ground balance before I enter the water,but it becomes unstable after 5 mins,so I ground balance in 1m of water every 30mins,then it becomes very stable, Its a bay beach that I can walk out 100m..
Ground balance numbers in BEACH DEEP 52..

Thanks Tom for taking time to answer, I put ATLC by mistake,I ment BEACH LC 18 vs BEACH DEEP..20,
what I don't understand is why it runs sensitivity no better than EQUINOX..this beach has very low wave action, but I believe it has a extremely high salt content,maybe 15% more than Atlantic ocean..

Would you say, ATLC running at sensitivity of 18,would hit sub gram gold,better than AT DEEP running sensitivity 20...
I cannot run ATLC any higher GREY SAND,IN THE WATER..
the equinox I could run beach 1 sensitivity 18..
11 inch coil..M8 not available here in Mediterranean country...thanks mike.

After 5 days with the manticore. I'm now running Beach deep Audio prospecting R...4 SENSITIVITY 18 ALL METAL. G.B 50..AUTO IN 50CM WATER.. IM GETTING FALSE SIGNSLS..1 OR 2 SOMETIMES 00 WITH BLUE LINE UNDER.. in a normal 4 hours hunting in the unmoving sea water.. I will get 10 FALSE signals,which I ...

Today was the first day trying to use Beach.L.C.. HUNTING WAIST DEEP SENS 18 reduced from 20 in surf & sea REC 4 UPPER 5 LOWER 1 G.B in 12 inch of water. The problem I had was a background werring/hum .NOISE.. Could this be coming from the salt water I believe it stops when the voil stops.. How ...

I would like to thank nasa tom,for all his hard work over the past year,of helping make it easier for us to evolve from the NOX to the MANTICORE. The first day yesterday was like trying to tame a wild horse.. Today I collected 3 gold.. I'm running surf an seawater...but will be adapting to beach low...

I go along knee deep first ,then move deeper,my machine has shaft adjustment holes on the back,so I just move deeper to the next hole...but you could ad your own marks with tipx. .
