i know nothing about your detector, but from what i have heard, the bounty hunters work really good in the dry sand and not so good in the damp and waters edge
i am sure someone will sound off soon regarding your sharpshooter

Nightshift, your Bounty Hunter will work fine in the dry sand as Max said. Because of the conductive saltwater and black sand in the wet sand the BH will be unstable. You can try to turn down the Sens. some, but I don't think it will help much.
