Florida Beach Detecting.

[RedBaron]

Moved full time to Lakeland, Fl. and would like to get together with someone to beach detect with to learn the ropes, in and out the water. I use a AT Pro with waterproof headphones. Willing to drive most anywhere. So if you could use a day or weekend partner, drop me a msg. Thanks. Bill

Used the AT Pro once on the east coast. OK in the sand, but near the wet sand, it was a constantly needing a ground balance. Did find a few coins and typical trash which I always haul out. Fresh water hunting, it worked OK.

I live in Lutz but work in Lakeland and detect Only the west coast beaches. My first recommendation is to not to try to detect any where near the salt water with the AT pro but you can detect the dry sand with it all day long with good results. You may want to consider a new or used Saltwater detector like the Minelab Excalibur or Equinox 600 or 800 or something made for that purpose for the wet sand or in the saltwater.

Completely disagree. While not a great salt water machine, one of my best finds was with my AT Pro in salt water (which I hunted with for a year before moving to a salt only machine). A 16g gold band in knee deep water. No reason AT ALL not to try water detecting with that machine and decide if you want to get a better water machine later.

You can use the AT pro in saltwater. I have used it on the Treasure Coast and In Miami. Check R. Adams videos on youtube. He also has used it. It does get some chatter but you can make adjustments to compensate for that. Having said that the Excals and the Equinox along with the CTX 3030 rock in the water. Good luck.
