[QUOTE="mbasko, post: 267246, member: 4485"] No - less mineralisation to combat in most dry sand/beach areas. Wet sand would prove more difficult but the GPX & SDC have salt timings & generally handle mineralised/difficult ground conditions better. Salt can be an issue for PI detectors not enhance things. You would have to adjust to suit your local beach conditions but in most cases a PI can punch very deep in sand but there would be a lot of discriminating VLF's that would also get good depth too (in most cases I would choose a discriminating VLF that is known for beach work/wet sand handling over a PI). Heres some good write ups: [url]https://www.minelab.com/anz/treasure-talk/the-power-of-salt-gold[/url] [url]http://phasetechnical.com.au/detecting-mineralised-black-sand-beaches/[/url] [/QUOTE]
