[QUOTE="grubstake, post: 481834, member: 4012"] Pretty poorly, in my limited experience, as - like most single frequency VLFs - it doesn't handle salinity at all well. You could try turning the sensitivity way down and continually re-ground balancing I guess, but I don't think you'd get much depth out of it then. This is what the AT Gold User Manual says: [i]Because the AT Gold is optimized to find small gold pieces, saltwater use in not recommended for this detector. Its ability to find small gold makes it equally reactive to the conductivity of saltwater. This detector's ground balance adjustment is optimized to provide the greatest resolution in the normal ground range and is not designed to address saltwater. The AT Gold will, however, perform well for hunting coins and jewelry on dry sand beach areas.[/i] [/QUOTE]
