Not the best beach detector but it does work at the beach, just remember there is salt spray in the air so protect it even if you don't get close to water....
Xterra series runs on 3 freqs, 3.5, 7.5, and 18.75 if you have 70 or 705, but it only runs 1 at a time so coil is not going to change how poor it works in wet sand, it is still a single freq detector. The 3.5 and 7.5 are your 2 normal coils you will use unless your gold nugget hunting then you use the 18.75 when running the 70 or 705.I understand there is a coil specifically for beach detecting. Each coil is supposed to have different frequencies. So if there is in fact a coil for beaches I'm hoping it will work well in the wet sand. I won't be taking it in the water. Just hoping to hit low tide. headed to Myrtle Beach for Vacay in a couple weeks. So in lieu of buying a dedicated Salt water detector I was thinking of buying a beach coil for it. :/ well hopefully someone will come along before than who has tried the beach coil.
