Wrong machine for SALTWATER. You need a "Multi-Frequency" or "Pulse Induction" machine.

Or a Tesoro Cibola. If you turn down the frequency a little it will do just fine in salt water. You can't get the control box wet. But for working the high tide line and just in the waves I do great with mine. I don't like PI machines there as we have tons of fishermen and all those blasted swivels and hooks make the machine go nutso. Try turning down your sensitivity some.

Here are the settings I use for my AT-Max for beach hunting, it works well.

1. Press and hold the power button (to do factory reset)
2. Lower sensitivity 3 notches down from maximum.
3. Select Zero mode.
4 Set Iron Disc. to 43
5. Set threshold to negative 3 (-3)
6. With coil in water or wet sand auto ground balance.
7. After ground balacing, go to manual balance and lower the number by 2 t0 3 (sometimes I go down to 5). This will slighty negatively ground balance the detector.

The above program will quite down the AT-Max on salt water beach's with out loosing depth. This program works for me, it should work for others with the Max, also it works with my AT-Pro, the only diffrence is you do not have threshold setting on the AT-Pro.

Happy Hunting.
