how is the 1280x in salt water and black sand

[Scottso]

im from long island and anyone from here knows robert moses or jones beach is full of black sand and i also want a good land detector but how it runs in salt water will seal the deal

Geez, anyone with that many detectors should not have to ask questions this simple. While the 1280 can be used on some beaches, the wet sand with varying amounts of salt and black sand affect its operation. It is also not the best detector to use in parks because of the weight and lack of pinpoint mode. Your CZ-20 would be a better choice for the beach and about any of the others for land. How about a pic of those detectors?
