We give you permission to use it. Now have at it.....


LOL It will do fine in the dry sand. The wet sand will make you turn down the sensitivity a bit because even with the newer machines that are not made specifically for beach hunting, you get lots of feedback in wet sand at normal settings and above. I would drop it to about half and try it. If you are getting lots of noise, just keep turning it down until the chatter goes away. The machine will still be somewhat deep.

Good Luck

Depending on which coinmaster you have, the early models were BFO machines and loved chains, something alot of later machines do not see.
So yes i would try it out.

I still have an early coinmaster and it finds chains like nothing else on the dry sand.

Re: White's coinmaster on a beach

I want to make a suggestion, please. Keep the land-based detectors away from salt water. I know everyone claims to have a waterproof coil. But one slip of the hand and it's all over. Plus, the frequency of most land-based detectors is too high to cope with salt wet sand anyway. So use your Coinhunter where the sand is dry and save yourself a world of grief.

Works great on dry sand. With wet sand you will have way too many false positives. Don't bring it off the dry.
