You broke through the plateau/barrier!!!........ and now it's: Game ON !!!
Congrat's!!!

Something seems terribly wrong. You should EASILY be able to hit Sens 25 with the M8 coil......in a wet-salt environment. Even in the water. . . . . to include the Med.
How high can you run Sens with the standard/stock 11" M11 coil?

The M8 will be a stunning improvement....in the way that it mitigates salt feedback. A real eye-opener. Even in the Med!
And....... with your hot/high-temp waters in the Med....... it will hold a lot of salt in solution!

Are you Ground Balancing near the waters edge?
Response Speed on 4 ?

WELL DONE!!!
Very nice!
It is hard to tell the size..... in this picture. Place small items on top of a brown penny (not a new/bright penny)...... for size-reference.

M8 comes through once again!

okara...... your GB numbers sound correct. And............. since your slope is fairly steep.,.,.,., this accounts for better stability in auto-ground-track. I'm still a bit leary of tracking out weak signals whilst in auto-ground-track. Medium & Strong signals ....will not track-out.,.,.,even t...

au........ Is this with the M11 coil?
What are your Grnd Bal numbers??
Can you bob/Grnd Balance the unit with about 1/8" of actual water under the coil?

au ........ Your ATLC w/Sens 18.............. VS..............Your AT DEEP w/Sens 20 , . , . , . , . comes out to nearly identical performance on tiny low conductors. Now............ when you add saltwater/wet-sand............the BEACH Modes will win......due to PROPER salt phase-angle compensation ...

Are you saying: Any of the All Terrain Modes.....then switching over to 40-Khz single frequency?....in the wet-salt?

Barry....... that's exactly correct! BUT........ if you plan on ONLY hunting the dry sand at the beach; YES....... by all means...... utilize the Goldfield Mode (in concert with Prospecting Audio)....... to find the extremely low-conductive gold. It is a LOT of work....... but worth it. Blanket/towe...
