F2 and wet sand

[Snickers1]

How does the F2 do in wet sand?

It wouldn't do well because it is a single freq entry level with preset ground balance. Understand not all saltwater beaches are the same when it come to the salt concentrations and black sand so it could work well at one place and not another. Still you could lower the Sens and see.

Thanks for the info...I'm still researching detectors before I buy one.

Wet fresh water sand....no problemo.

Matt Renshaw did a field test in one of the U.K. detecting magazines and seemed to suggest that it worked fairly well on wet sand for a single frequency detector but though I think its a good detector for land/dry sand use it just doesn't cut it on any beach I've been on.

I don't see how you could go wrong with an F2, for the money you get a WHOLE LOT of detector. There are lots of package deals right now, 2 coils, a pin pointer and an F2 for around $200

Have a hunting buddy who uses one in the dry. Heck of a machine and would pay for itself in no time.
