I took my Cibola to the beach and it was great on the dry sand. The moment I touched wet sand or salt water the thing went nuts. Falsing like crazy to the point of being un-usable. Perhaps it depends on location. This is on the coast of Maine. I think the Cibola is a great machine, but the lack of ground balance can become exceedingly frustrating and limiting in tough soil conditions.

I figured that would be the case even my Multi-frequency machines sound off a bit at times in the salt.
