Landlocked beach lover going to gulf near Panama city
I use my sand shark at the beach, but usually not much in the water
This area is supposed to have lots of shallow/ sandbar hunting
Tips for actual water hunting! Please?

I recall Treasure Hunter showing a pic of a device to steady the coil
Got plastic and need to diy a stabilizer

Suggestions?

Waterproof headphones (or earbuds), a sturdy sand scoop, and neoprene booties with soles makes up my basic kit.
Any other footwear option and the sand becomes uncomfortable and can rub your feet raw. I use ankle-high ones with a velcro strap at the top to eliminate sand penetration.
A heavy duty stainless steel scoop will make recovery a snap and won't lose its value, and the weight is not noticed when in the water.
Hope that helps, good luck!
